Consumables are components within a roofing production line that are intentionally designed to wear over time. In constant contact with abrasive materials, high temperatures, and continuous motion, these parts absorb friction and stress to protect critical machine structures. From cutting and trimming to coating, conveying, and handling, consumables directly affect product quality, equipment stability, and uptime.
Reichel & Drews provides a comprehensive range of OEM consumables designed to maintain accuracy, protect equipment, and support consistent, high‑quality output across your production line.
Selecting the right consumables is not just about replacement—it’s about maintaining precision, controlling wear patterns, and preserving consistent performance across the production process.
Reichel & Drews’ OEM consumables deliver:
GENUINE CONSUMABLES FOR REICHEL & DREWS, RÜMMER, REISER, AND UIP MACHINES
OEM CONSUMABLES BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY
Because Reichel & Drews maintains detailed machine histories, OEM consumables are matched precisely to your equipment configuration, operating conditions, and production requirements. This allows our engineering and parts teams to recommend consumables that support both immediate replacement needs and long‑term reliability goals.
Benefits of utilizing OEM roofing production consumables include:
When replacing consumables, manufacturers often face a choice between OEM and aftermarket parts. While aftermarket components may appear interchangeable, consumables play a critical role in equipment performance, alignment, and long‑term machine health. Reichel & Drews OEM consumables are engineered to protect not only the component being replaced, but the entire system around it.
| REICHEL & DREWS OEM CONSUMABLES | AFTERMARKET CONSUMABLES |

| Exact fit, materials, and tolerances | Dimensional and material variations are common |
| Engineered to protect surrounding components | Can accelerate wear on adjacent parts |
| Consistent performance and predictable service life | Performance and lifespan can vary significantly |
| Backed by full machine history and engineering support | Limited application knowledge or documentation |
| Helps maintain alignment, cut quality, and uptime | May require adjustments or compromise precision |
OEM CONSUMABLES PROTECT MORE THAN THE WEAR ITEM
Consumables interact directly with critical machine components—cutting cylinders, anvils, bearings, gearboxes, coatings, conveyors, and controls. Even small deviations in material hardness, surface finish, or geometry can introduce vibration, misalignment, uneven wear, or reduced product quality over time.
OEM consumables are engineered as part of the complete system, ensuring:
In contrast, aftermarket consumables often focus only on replacing the visible wear item—without accounting for how that part interacts with the rest of the machine.
