Extrusion 3-2018

with a pigmented surface layer on which a wood grain is em- bossed by a particularly relevant calender. Further intriguing projects that require the expertise of both brands are already under study while the main objective re- mains to implement the intuitions and ideas of the final custo- mers for the creation of innovative products with a strong im- pact on national and international market. “The strengths of Tecno System are versatility and flexibility,” as pointed out by Marco Rubbi, Commercial Manager, “funda- mental characteristics to face a market characterized by a growing variety of extrusions made with different thermoplas- tic materials. This merger will help us bring our already excel- lent positions to a higher level, driving us to concentrate on projects with higher added value. So the 2018 year represents for Tecno System a decisive year of strong growth, already consolidated in the previous year in which the TPV Division Mechanical Division, part of Tecno Sys- tem, celebrated 60 years of activity and successes. Supported by a growing demand in the field of extrusion lines as "turnkey project", Tecno System strengthens its position on the national and international markets. Growing Beyond Extrusion 40 Profile Extrusion Extrusion 3/2018 T ecno System has been working for several decades closely with B-TEC Srl, a world leader in design and construction of high quality extrusion dyes and calibrators for the extrusion of thermoplastic profiles. B-TEC specialized in dyes and calibrators for profiles for window frames, roller shutters (2x10 m/min), panels, cable management ducts, gutters and rainwater pipes, etc. B-TEC's skills, combined with Tecno System's experience in roll-forming, punching, "fly-cut” at high production speeds are perfectly integrated, and give as result a high level of customer satisfaction, the quality achieved on the finished product, to- gether with the renown strength and durability of the B-TEC tooling. Among the most important and innovative common projects resulting from the synergy between Tecno System and B-TEC, it is worth mentioning the one concerning the reinforcement of profiles by means of coextrusion with fiberglass wires in win- dow profiles. This technology makes it possible to keep the tra- ditional construction of the line unchanged, the extruder is the same, as no abrasive material goes through the cylinder and screws. The downstream of the line is also the usual window profile line, as well as the die and calibrator, making it possible to produce profiles without and with reinforcement with the same set of tooling. The window profiles present almost no re- traction, the frames made with this profiles don't need a metal reinforcement for most of the common dimensions of win- dows. Another recent project has been realized for an important Rus- sian client, concerning the construction of a complete line for the production of SIDING panels in coextruded foamed PVC, Tecno System S.r.l. Via Rosa Bardelli 2/B - 44013 Consandolo (FE) - Italy www.tecnosystemfe.it Tecno System Srl chooses PLAST 2018 as the first important event to officially present the acquisition of B-TEC and at the same time the restyling of its logo and extrusion lines.
