Uway Extrusion LLC

Uway Extrusion specializes in turn-key extrusion systems for film, sheet, and board and recently has successfully engineered and installed several compounding-to-finished sheet extrusion systems. Uway Extrusion also builds twin-screw extruders, single-screw extruders, foam extrusion lines, hollow board extrusion lines, calendaring roll stacks, cooling systems, auxiliaries, and much more. While other suppliers are focused on designing machinery for the masses, our focus is on YOU. | With factory operations based in Warren, Ohio (USA), Uway Extrusion engineers and builds custom extrusion systems with outputs of up to 14,000 lbs/hr. Uway Extrusion is dedicated to making advancements in the plastic extrusion machinery industry. Whether it be engineering and building systems to fit in-line with thermoforming machinery or integrating compounding directly into the extrusion process, Uway Extrusion has the solutions for you. Uway builds extrusion systems using simple designs and focusing only on the top component suppliers in order to provide our customers with dependable machinery that produces consistent, high quality and high volume output. Uway specializes in customized systems from the lab scal up to 7 tons per hour. Having installations in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa, Uway has a global view of our customers and therefore we use components that are of international standards. This means when maintenance does occur your staff will not have to spend time retrofitting parts. Downtime during maintenance will be reduced, maintenance expenses will be lower, and more time can be spent producing sellable product. In 2014 Uway manufactured 64 sheet lines and approximately 130 twin-screw extruders. Much of Uway Extrusion’s success can be attributed to sole owner Dustin Kremer’s background. “Being third generation and having experience operating, maintaining and building the [extruders],” Kremer said, “I have a unique perspective on how to create the machinery to meet the customers’ needs. I focus on keeping the machinery simple and reliable, while making the extruders generic enough that parts can be locally sourced to prevent production delays.”

FB Balzanelli USA Inc

For over 25 years, FB Balzanelli automatic and semi-automatic coilers have been synonymous with technology and quality. Today, FB Balzanelli is very popular among pipe manufacturers with its new automatic solutions for packing pipes, not to mention its automatic palletizing systems (which can serve more than one line). In all these years, FB Balzanelli has never lost sight of its mission: technology, innovation, quality and customer care excellence. Avant-garde and technology constantly evolving for a better return on investment. Constant innovation to offer the perfect technical solution for every specific need in the fields of pipe coiling, packing, and palletizing; quality of all products, customized and guaranteed to the smallest detail. Customer care to ensure correct and reliable operation of the long-life systems. FB Balzanelli is a modern and dynamic company in constant growth, with a high level of know-how and able to accompany its customers throughout the entire production process, offering them the most suitable solutions for coiling and packing all types of flexible pipes. In the 1980s, the founder, Vincenzo Balzanelli, was a leader in the production of electrical conduits. Dissatisfied with the lack of automatic coilers offered at that time, he felt the urge to design and build automatic coilers that were really fast, reliable, and guaranteed high-quality packing. Since then, a process of development and growth has been underway at the company’s production facility in Fano (Italy), which over the years has made FB Balzanelli a leader in the automatic and semi-automatic coilers market. In fact, FB Balzanelli was the first to come up with the idea of an automatic coiler with side-by-side reels, followed by an integration of a fully pneumatic strapping unit, and was also the first to introduce a special haul-off device to reduce pipe ovalization, all improved by the incorporation of exclusive software. | As the leader in the production of automatic and semi-automatic coilers, FB Balzanelli manufactures coiling machines for large and small-diameter flexible pipes and creates packing and palletizing systems to optimize coiling and storing processes for different types of pipes.
