Providing Customers with Sustainable and Innovative Solutions
Solutions for Energy Efficiency
REP develops advanced technologies for saving energy, space and costs
The SDD or SMP solutions for motor and pump drives represented a major technological advance for REP.
These solutions allow to reduce drastically the energy consumption: 70% energy savings on presses since their use in 2010, with enhanced reliability and ease of maintenance.
The ServoDive&Drive pump unit (OP276) and the Servo-Motor driven Pump unit (OP270) solutions are optional equipment. They optimize machine energy consumption, helping to reduce production costs and environmental impact.
By adding another option (OP271 energy counter), the customers can also know their exact energy gain via the different energy counters.
Development of Circular Economy
HSM rubber recycling offer
REP has designed a machine using the patented HSM process.
The purpose of HSM (High Shear Mixing) consists in devulcanizing rubber waste and reintroduce it into the production chain.
The expert's opinion
This patented process applies to any kind of uncontaminated rubber production waste. Once the compound is devulcanized, it is reintegrated into the basic compound.
This results in significant savings on both compound and waste disposal costs. This is a 100% thermo-mechanical process without adding any further substances or chemical agents and is performed at low temperature, in order to prevent the characteristics of the devulcanized rubber from being altered.
