was able to prove that this material offers exactly
the same short and long-term mechanical properties
as our conventional materials. And we naturally
also make sure that the products we make from this
re-compound comply with the most demanding
specifications with regard to fire prevention – which
is extremely important in our segment – and also
has the required very high flexural fatigue strength.
We can, with a good conscience, therefore provide
the same guarantee as we do with the corresponding
corrugated tubing made of virgin material.”
Together with the cable protection tubing of biobased
PA 11, which has been available for some time now
and even exceeds the performance of conventional
alternatives under dynamic flexural fatigue stress,
REIKU now offers its customers two product families
that both help to save fossil raw materials. Says Peter
Sailer, who shares the company management with
David Guitton: “The environmental aspect does not
stop at industrial applications. We recognized this
trend at an early stage and invested accordingly to
underline our commitment to sustainability and to
support our customers – both OEMs and end users –
in implementing their own environmental strategies.
Customer applications, in some cases under
extremely rough 24/7 industrial conditions, confirm
that both our regenerate-based and our biobased
polyamide product comply with all the expectations.
They enable uninterrupted operating times for cost-
efficient production over just as long a period as the
types based on conventional PA.”
REIKU will present its extensive portfolio of cable
protection systems, which, in addition to corrugated
tubing, also includes fittings such as bracket systems
and tube clamps as well as sophisticated system
components such as connecting joints, cable stars,
jointed tubing, gripping clamps, conduit protectors
and spring holders, at SPS 2019, taking place in
Nuremberg from 26 – 28 November, in Hall 3C on
Stand 366.

Roll Kraft Ltd. Adds Computer
Numerical Control Machine
Roll-Kraft Ltd. has purchased and installed
a new Computer Numerical Control Machine
(CNC) at its location in Woodbridge, Ontario.
Roll-Kraft Ltd. manufactures new roll tooling and
reconditions worn tooling for companies that
produce tube and pipe and various roll formed
shapes. It is the parallel facility to the Roll-Kraft
headquarters plant in Mentor, OH.
The new CNC machine has improved features that
will aid in the production process. It performs
both roughing and finishing operations on the
rolls, and the turning capacity has increased from
24-inches to 27-inches. With the addition of this
newer technology, it is expected to allow rolls to be
cut more precisely and more efficiently. As a leader
in the industry, Roll-Kraft continually updates and
improves its facilities and processes to meet the ever-
increasing demands of the market and reach its goal
of first-time performance for every customer.
