The updated spare parts catalogs can be found online at Required repairs are performed at Greiner Extrusion's site in Nussbach or right on site at the customer's location. Machine maintenance includes many different contents condition analysis, functional test, e.g. of all components and protective devices, controls of operating elements and displays, review and replacement of wear parts, filter inserts, tightness test of the calibration table, Inspection of the fill levels and many more. Proper and continuous maintenance not only prevents defects but also extends the service life of tooling and machines. Maintenance repair rework Regular machine and tooling maintenance ensures additional process safety. Continuous maintenance not only optimizes the production process but also reduces error sources or avoids them entirely in future. The pit stop of our technician for inspection of your tooling and machines will surely pay off in the long run. Expert assessment on site in production shows the ACTUAL situation, where various kinds of repair work are performed. On site in the production facilities, tooling optimizations and machine commissioning are performed. Complex tooling and machine parts requiring repairs are sent to Greiner Extrusion for inspection. Based on this inspection, an individual repair offer is drawn up. For customer-specific spare parts, tooling and machines, the Greiner production network will find a matching solution fast and with ease. Processing according to the state of the art is guaranteed for all areas from dies to dry calibration and templates to various machine components. Tooling conversions The benefits of tooling conversions, e.g. conversion of individual sections, changes of wall thicknesses, additional reduction of the inner chambers, modifications of web positions and geometries, are enormous. Material savings for wall thickness reduction utilizing the tolerance Lower procurement costs than for new tooling Shorter delivery time than for new tooling Maintenance and service check in the scope of conversion Installation of the latest technology Machinery conversion The option of re-equipping and retrofitting machines, such as upgrading and extension of a calibration table, cutter and GESS (Greiner Energy Saving System) has many benefits that can be summarized as follows: Shorter delivery time than for new machine/cutter Service check in the scope of conversion Conversion from saw to cutter (no saw chips, clear noise reduction, same cut as saw) Hadis Alispahic Technical Trainee Hanna Lopatnova Technical Trainee Gernot Krenmayr Alfons Fenzl Technical Martin Antensteiner Johannes Gappmayr Ernst Kronegger Shahram Rafatipour Andreas Reisige Rainer Wegscheider Service Jürgen Kock Wolfgang Fischer Thomas Friesenbichler Head of Technical Oliver Schürrer Head of Technical Service Harald Schweiger Herbert Gundendorfer Anthony Wright Technical Service Our long-term partner Brusbox sees many benefits in the conversion of present tooling systems: At Brusbox, 4-chamber systems were converted into modern 5-chamber systems. The revision of tooling reduces the number of rejects in the long term and profile quality remains continually high. A clear extension of tooling service life was another factor decisive for our tooling conversions.

For almost 10 years, Greiner Extrusion has been offering a financing system unique in the industry, a professional sales financing by a Greiner-owned bank. vendor finance specializes in financing of products from the Greiner Group and partner companies. Costefficient customer loans and simple processes make vendor finance the perfect alternative to conventional outside source financing. Greiner extrusion tooling and machines permit high profitability in profile extrusion by a high output capacity. This potential often remains unused for many customers, since the funds required for investments cannot be covered by them without help. Classic outside source financing by banks is the rule. However, loan awarding by banks is becoming increasingly inspection-intensive, restrictive and above all more expensive. getu Error analysis software This software has been developed by Greiner Extrusion and unites knowledge management, database and error analysis. The errors present at the profile and possible causes in the extrusion environment are displayed quickly and easily with getu. The error analysis permits determination of causes shared between several errors, as well as complex interrelations between errors and causes. Greiner offers an optimal alternative to classic outside source financing of medium- to long-term payment of installments, with fixed conditions and flexible securing options. The vendor finance system specializes in sales financing in all supported sales markets in the world. What are the customer's benefits? After the first request, the Greiner seller offers a noncommittal financing version if this is desired. Changes, usually on customer request, are considered within a few hours. Financing experts at Greiner vendor finance are available at any time for detailed information. Together with the customers, details (such as risk minimization and securing) can be developed for the most beneficial financing conditions. Simple processes and the consideration of several financing alternatives therefore offer our customers quick and simple project implementation at beneficial financing conditions. keep.clean unit Effectively removes contamination before it deposits in the extrusion tooling.
