Kraiburg Installs New 3.6 million euro Internal Mixer

Kraiburg Austria recently powered up a new internal mixing line. According to the retreading material supplier, the new machinery will primarily be used to produce high-performance compounds for tyre retreading. The new equipment is said to be more efficient and capable of mixing compounds with little or now oil. This means polymer chains are maintained better, which has a positive effect on mileage.

The new line is now producing K_base, K_tech, and K_plus products. Prior to the installation of the new machinery the K_tech and K_plus products, which are said to be “very demanding from a technical perspective,” have only been available in limited capacities.

“The cost-benefit calculation and our capacity bottlenecks were the reasons for the purchase,” said Dr. Andreas Starnecker, managing director of Kraiburg Austria. “With this investment, which amounts to 3.6 million euro, we are well equipped for the demands of the market, and we can deliver products to our customers that promise maximum performance with efficient production costs.”
