POLYMAT PRO wins ISPO Award 2023
The POLYMAT PRO automatic base repair machine has been honored with the ISPO Award 2023. The latest product innovation from Reichmann convinced the jury of six experts made up of industry professionals and passionate athletes.
The ISPO Award is given four times a year to pioneering products and innovations in the sports industry. The new POLYMAT PRO from Reichmann has achieved to stand out from the crowd among the large number of new products submitted.
High praise from the ISPO Award jury
The jury was impressed by the automated, localized repair directly on the scratch and the associated simplifications in the ski workshop. “This is a great innovation in terms of efficient automated base repairs on skis or snowboards. You put in a pair of skis or a snowboard and let the machine do the work while using less material and creating less fumes. The upright design also safes on workshop space.”, was the jury statement.
The future of automatic base repair
The new POLYMAT PRO incorporates the latest camera technology, which uses a laser to precisely detect scratches or damage in the ski or snowboard base. These damages areas can subsequently be filled with repair material on the spot. This greatly reduces material and energy consumption compared to conventional melting processes, which cover the entire base with repair material. The automated spot repair also saves a lot of time, as there is no need for time-consuming regrinding of the base. In a series of tests, the automatic base repair machine impressed with the very good durability of the repair material. There is also the environmental and health aspect. Workshop employees can look forward to significantly improved air quality in the workshop, as the POLYMAT PRO produces hardly any smoke or fumes.
Presentation in the ISPO Award Area from November 28-30
The innovative machine will be presented to interested trade show visitors from November 28 - 30 at ISPO Munich in the Future Lab in Hall B1. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the Reichmann sales team on site and receive advice on the new machine.
