Milling is yesterday, ironing is today

RASCHAU/BARCELONA, May 28, 2014 – A few days before the congress of the International Ski Federation in Barcelona begins, Peter Riedel GmbH – the world’s leading provider of track systems on ski jumping hills and related technologies – once again fulfills its claim to research and produce economically, energy-efficient and resource-conserving.

With the ICE IRON, a completely new product hits the market that complements or even replaces the traditional milling of entry tracks with a novel technology. ICE IRON impresses with ease of use and a sophisticated control system, is small and handy, and can be operated by a single person.

“With the ICE IRON, any ice structure the hill operator desires can be created,” says company owner Peter Riedel. “The device can play a major role in ice preparation. For example, a Riedel summer track could be covered with snow and then converted into an ice track without track cooling thanks to our ICE IRON. ICE IRON glides over the snow like an iron and, due to the set sub-zero temperature, creates the ice. I am convinced this possibility will be especially interesting for the youth sector.”
