iNOEX is a pioneer in plastics extrusion and provides innovative measuring & control technology as well as solutions for the full automation of the extrusion process. The WARP GAUGE sensor is a solution that is designed to flexibly address the blow molding sector. The core technology allows us to obtain continuous wall thickness information about the blow molded part or the extruded parison directly. In combination with a kinematic system, the sensor is guided perpendicularly to the surface and creates a grid of measuring points. WARP portable is, as a handheld device, used for wall thickness measurements manually. The goal is always to provide crucial data that helps reduce material use and energy consumption, while improving overall productivity.

Since 2022, we have partnered with Kautex in the areas of automation, quality assurance of blow molded parts, and product performance. What makes this partnership special is that we provide the first automation opportunity ever to continuously monitor the product geometry of a blow molded product inline.

More than 6,300 industrial customers in over 70 countries worldwide use our energy-saving and reliable equipment and systems to reduce their operating costs and improve their competitiveness. From consulting and planning to turnkey plant construction and downstream service, we offer our customers all services from a single source. Today, our product and system range extends from small chillers to large industrial plants in the fields of refrigeration technology, heat recovery, ventilation and clean room technology, water treatment, and mold temperature control.

Feuerherm GmbH is the leading manufacturer of the radial wall thickness controls: PWDS^® (Partial Wall Thickness Distribution) and SFDR^® (Static Flexible Die Ring) systems for the extrusion blow molding industry – made in Germany since 1977.

With decades of focused engineering experience, we develop high-precision systems that significantly enhance blow molding performance, material efficiency, and product quality.

The products of our family-owned business are used globally across industries such as packaging (e.g. canisters, drums, IBCs), automotive, technical parts like PFT, filler pipes, etc. and of blow molded recreational products and toys.

Our Core Technologies

PWDS^® – Partial Wall Thickness Distribution

As pioneer of PWDS^® technology, we offer systems that enable dynamic, section-specific control of parison wall thickness. This improves product strength where needed, reduces material use, and allows lightweighting without compromising quality – ideal for high-performance and cost-sensitive applications.

SFDR^® – Static Flexible Die Ring

Our SFDR^® system replaces the solid mandrel and enables easy profile changes without time-consuming dismantling of the mandrel tool. It allows highly flexible profile designs in blow-molded products. Thanks to its smart construction consisting of three components – mandrel shaft, inner mandrel part, and SFDR^® ring – any desired profile setting can be achieved.

Today, three generations of the Feuerherm family stand for:

• Systems for effective and energy-efficient blow molding
• Systems with a long service life and a fast “return of investment”
• Continuity, quality and reliability
• Further development and adaptability
• Innovation and environmental awareness

Which sectors of Kautex do you cover? (machine sales, technical inquiries, service,…)

Designing, manufacturing, commissioning, optimizing and maintaining the PWDS^®/SFDR^® systems.
