40 Years of UTH – 30 Years of roll-ex® Technology: Driving Innovation for an Efficient and Sustainable Future

FULDA. At K 2025 in Duesseldorf, UTH GmbH will bring together history and forward-looking innovation: Celebrating 40 years since its founding and 30 years of international recognition with its roll-ex® gear pump technology, the company is now presenting practical solutions designed to meet tomorrow’s challenges. From October 8 to 15, at Booth D41 in Hall 15, UTH will showcase its proven modular roll-ex® gear pump technology – trusted worldwide for three decades – alongside an expanded portfolio for processing rubber, silicone, and polymers. This includes advanced fine mesh straining solutions, innovative dosing and mixing systems, and a new generation of dual-drive machines engineered for greater efficiency and long-term reliability.

Shaping Tomorrow’s Technology

“The challenges we face today – from increasing demands on product quality, process reliability, and cost efficiency to the growing need for effective material rework – motivate us to continuously develop new solutions and enhance our existing technologies. This enables us to sustainably optimize processing in the rubber and silicone industries and adapt to shifting market conditions,” says Peter J. Uth, Managing Director of UTH GmbH.

A key part of this approach is the modular roll-ex® system, which allows flexible combinations of machines with different feeding units depending on the application – including the Two-Roll Plasticizer (TRP), the Two-Roll Feeder (TRF), the Single-Screw Feeder (SF), and the Conical Twin-Screw Extruder (DSE). Building on this modular system, UTH has recently introduced several technological innovations: the TRP System for resource-efficient and continuous processing of rubber compounds, advanced mixing solutions, and the innovative Polymer Dosing System. Based on a conical twin-screw extruder, this solution closes a critical gap in the precise and reliable dosing of highly viscous polymers.

Intelligent Solutions for Emerging Challenges

Resource efficiency, new material formulations with changing properties, and the ongoing digitalization of production are shaping the future of rubber and silicone processing. In addition to its product range, UTH will present its digital solutions DataLox and VisuGraph V2, which capture, archive, analyze, and clearly visualize production and process data. These tools enhance transparency, enable more robust process analysis, and provide the foundation for seamless quality assurance as well as long-term improvements in productivity and product quality.

At Booth D41 in Hall 15, UTH will present exhibits that highlight the versatility of the modular roll-ex® system combined with its digital applications to address current industry trends. Visitors will also have the chance to engage directly with experts, review their individual process needs, and explore tailored solutions to optimize production, strengthen quality assurance, and unlock potential for material and energy savings.
