and therefore better overall profitability.
BOPP lines: Lower operating costs with higher efficiency
Brückner’s newly designed sliding system for transversely
stretched film means speed increases from over 600m/
min. At the same time newly developed materials led to a
reduction of the lubrication use by more than 50%. The new
design in combination with newly developed lubrication is
the basis for lower production costs. Furthermore these
newly developed lubrication materials are also available
for upgrades on current high-performance lines.
A new winder system caters for higher line efficiency. In the befindlicher, mittelständischer Unternehmensverbund
future Brückner lines can take 40% more winder length by
increasing the winder diameter from 1.55m to 1.8m. More
winder length means fewer roll changes and therefore less
waste, which effects productivity, changeover time and
energy consumption for the entire line.
BOPA: Higher yield on simultaneous lines
Brückner has noticed a growing interest in the market

for polyamide packaging films and offers a selection of
line types. Brückner’s LISIM (Linear Motor Simultaneous
Stretching) simultaneous stretching process is enjoying
an increased demand as BOPA film can be produced
in the highest quality and with optimized finishing
characteristics. For the K the company presents LISIM
BOPA lines with a working width of 6.6 meters, instead
of the usual 5.1 meters. This increases output by a good
30% and substantially increases productivity.
