Prior to being wound onto the reel, the extruded material () is prepared such that the extruded material () comprises defect-free usage sections () having a predefined usage length (), between which intermediate sections () having a predefined intermediate length () are arranged. As part of the installation, the intermediate sections () are removed from the extruded material () and separated as scrap.
