Reifenhäuser thermoforming sheet lines are designed on the modular principle.
Three design series based on the different polishing stack types are available for a number of applications:

MIREX-S

Standard line for PP, GPPS/HIPS and PET
Working width: 900 - 1600 mm
Thickness range: 0.2 - 2.0 mm (depending on product)

	suitable for sheets with high and low melt stability
	controlled melt flow into the polishing nip
	no longitudinal streaks on the sheet surface caused by lip edges
	bead optionally on the sheet upper or lower side
	simple and efficient chill roll operation

MIREX-W

Standard line for PP, PGGS/HIPS and ABS/PMMA
Working width: 900 - 2200 mm
Thickness range: 0.2 - 2.0 mm or 2.0 - 10.0 mm (depending on product)

	mainly used for production of sheets with high melt stability
	simple line assembly
	space-saving arrangement for inline machines
	easy access
	melt inlet between lower and center roll or upper and center roll

MIREX-TS

Special line for production of highly transparent, polished thin and thick PP and GPPS/HIPS sheets
Working width: 900 - 2200 mm
Thickness range: 0.2 - 2.0 mm (depending on product)

Thanks to the modular line concept, Reifenhäuser can offer a suitable line for any specific requirement. An example for this is a line for processing of PET film and bottle flakes. 

3-layer PET thermoforming sheet line, MIREX 3-1400

On this line, the Reitruder (twin-screw extruder) processes the PET material without pre-drying. This means considerable energy is conserved by reducing the intermediate steps during material preparation. From this material, highly transparent 3-layer films are produced, such as blister packaging for foodstuffs packaging and technical applications.
