At Chinaplas 2011 the members of the Brückner Group present forward-looking technologies for various applications in the plastics and packaging industries.
Brückner Maschinenbau (booth 5.1J01):
Solutions for a highly efficientmanufacture of plastics films
6.2 m CPP line from Brückner
BOPP lines: Productivity and efficiency
Brückner`s BOPP lines meet the demand for innovative products: Working widths up to 10.4 m, outputs up to 7,000 kg/hour and production speeds up to 525 m/min mark the highest productivity within the filmstretching line industry.
Lines for manufacturing high performance BOPET film
For a highly efficient production of thin flexible BOPET packaging filmor industrial and optical film grades up to 400 μm Brückner presents a wide range of lines, comprising various workingw idths and outputs.
Technological highlights:
-
unique multi-gap stretching for high speeds and output, and improved optical and mechanical film properties
-
heavy duty MDO for thick film with superior filmsurface quality
Trend-setting specialty filmlines
Brückner offers a wide range of sophisticated special lines for the production of first class and high price films:
-
BOPP function films with special barrier layers
-
Biodegradable films: new equipment or upgrade solutions for the production of biaxially stretched packaging films made of renewable materials-above all PLA
-
Battery separator films which not only can be applied for batteries for electric vehicles, but also for all kinds of portable electronic devices
-
Films for photovoltaicmodules (PET films in the thickness range of up to approx. 250 μm)
-
High temperature films used within the textile industry, for membranes in the medical sector and for flexible printed circuits and insulations
World's first 6.2 m CPP line
Brückner proudly presents the new benchmark for CPP machinery, with a net film width of 6.2 mand a name plate capacity of 16.000 tons per year. Such large scale production leads to perfect productivity when it comes to commodity films.
Energy saving & cost optimization
Apart fromissues on productivity and efficiency, energy consumption and cost optimization have increasingly gained importance. Brückner comes up with relevant concepts:
-
Specially designed "Energy Monitoring Tool"
-
Optimised cast filmtemperature control
-
Down Gauging: Utmost precision in process control for a reduced raw material charge
-
UHB (ultra high barrier): Substitution of subsequent process steps
Brückner Servtec (booth 5.1J01):
Profitable and power-saving operation of existing lines
-
Engineered solutions for energy savings
-
Upgradings and software tools to increase productivity
-
Latest audio/video communication tools for fast and efficient remote service
-
Manufacturing Management System "MMS"
-
Maximization of plant output and service level
-
Complete transparency of the production process for all management levels
-
Modern software technologies and algorithms, combined with deep filmbusiness know ledge: performance analysis, shop floor integration, production optimization and maintenance management
Kiefel (booth 5.1J01):
Automatic pressure formingmachine, "SPEEDFORMER KMD 78 B"
The pressure forming machines KMD SPEEDFORMER are well know n on the market for a high-speed production and perfect positioning procedures. At Chinaplas the KMD 78 SPEEDFORMER, with 760 x 540 mmforming area, will demonstrate processing of A-PET with a tray tool.
Kiefel (booth 5.1Q35):
New filling system "IV Express" for the medical-sector
The advantage of this new filling system lies in its compact design, and in the high-precision application of technology intended for use with all commonly-available filling systems. At Chinaplas Kiefel will demonstrate a "IV Express" production unit - high output with minimal use of space, while reacting with maximum flexibility to changing product requirements.
PackSys Global - Brückner Group's newestmember (booth 5.1Q35):
Complete line for the folding and slitting of tamper evident caps for the beverage industry
The machine which will be show n is capable of running up to 2,400 caps per minute. The line will demonstrate the ability of the feeding system, camera and packing options to safely switch between colours without mixing caps.
