First German-Italian roof tile press DR 6-2400-IV-HA delivered to Girnghuber GmbH
This or similar types of the roof tile press are already successfully operating all over the world. But this is the first roof tile press supplied to a customer that was built and assembled in its entirety at Morando S.L.R. in Asti/Italy according to the design documents of Rieter-Werke and that is equipped with a control system from Keller HCW.
Joint transnational project within the Keller division
Within a very short time the press was installed in Marklkofen in December 2010. After a Christmas break of nearly three weeks, commissioning started in mid-January 2011. Already at the beginning of February, Girnghuber GmbH’s roof tile factory 2 could again resume its full production.
During the acceptance test for the press, Girnghuber GmbH paid special attention to the quality of the roof tile format that sets the highest demands to pressing. This roof tile is characterized by a very large surface outline, which complicates the flow behaviour of the clay material during pressing. With its increased pressing force of 400 t, the roof tile press passed the test with the required output, fulfilling the high quality standards of Girnghuber GmbH.
