KIEFEL: Licence agreement reached on orbital winder technology
In connection with the acquisition of the winding division of Christian Maier GmbH & Co., Heidenheim, KIEFEL Extrusion GmbH has concluded a new exclusive agreement with the licensee of the orbital winding technology, Werner Mülfarth. This will be effective from 1st April 2002, as will also be the acquisition of the Maier winding division. Werner Mülfarth will in addition be available with immediate effect and without limitation as consultants for KIEFEL und WINTECH Winding Technology AG, Lachen/Schweiz.
Orbital winders are exceptionally well suited for demanding winding and roll-slitting tasks. Fully automatic processes offer high winder security and availability. The center winding with pressure control of the contact rollers achieves reproducible, first-class roll quality, also with materials which are sensitive to winding tensions and with free choice of winding characteristics. The stepless movement of the contact roll also offers non-stop roll slitting without loss of quality during roll change.
