Bruckner to display nonwoven machinery at Techtextil
March 22, 2019 - Germany
Bruckner will display latest nonwoven machinery at Techtextil exhibition. The leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens will be held from May 14-17, 2019, in Frankfurt, Germany. Bruckner is the leading supplier of film-stretching machines on the world market, working for both the packaging sector and for technical applications.
The company will present the new Brückner Supra-Flow BA air-through thermofusion oven. The new Supra-Flow BA guarantees a particularly gentle transport of the unbonded web. This is achieved by a sophisticated air circulation design. It is also characterised by minimum heat consumption, high flow uniformity, and constant temperature distribution over the entire working width. The good accessibility of the oven chamber leads to a high maintenance friendliness. The dryer is available in working widths up to 4600 mm. It is designed for production speeds of up to 250 m/min and thus offers potential for line optimisation, according to Brückner.
Typical end products, which are bonded on the Brückner Supra-Flow BA high-end thermofusion oven according to the air-through principle, are nonwovens for diapers (ADL, topsheet, backsheet), nonwovens for feminine care and incontinence products but also filter nonwovens and special nonwovens.
The company will also exhibit the Brückner Supra-Flow BX double belt dryer. One year ago Brückner presented the revised double belt oven for thermofusion of high-loft nonwovens to the expert public. The aim was to reduce the use of primary energy with a view to resource-conserving nonwovens production and thus to reduce production costs. With the double belt furnace Supra-Flow BX, established in the market, Brückner’s engineers have succeeded in achieving not only this increase in efficiency, but also the re-construction of the air circulation with fewer individual parts in the sense of the guiding principle a good design is simple. Furthermore, there were many small detail improvements, which led to the fact that in 2018 so many Supra-Flow BX were sold in different configurations, as never before.
The Supra-Flow BX is of particular interest to manufacturers of mattresses, duvets, inserts, insulation, furniture (upholstery, cushions), cleaning (dry and wet wipes, painter’s cover foils), automotive components (headliners, thermal insulation, noise insulation, seat covers), thermal and acoustic insulation in the construction industry and carrier materials (floor coverings, technical coatings).
The Brückner Supra-Flow BE belt dryer will also be a part of the show. This type of oven is particularly suitable for the gentle drying of binder-bonded lightweight nonwovens. For such lines Brückner can supply the belt dryer type Supra-Flow BE as well as the foam padder, the cylinder dryer group and a smoothing calendar downstream of the dryer. The Brückner Supra-Flow BE is successfully in operation and produces high-quality nonwovens for the medical sector.
Brückner will present the minimum application unit Eco-Coat at Techtextil. The Eco-Coat unit enables impregnation and precise one-sided kiss roll coating on the upper or lower side of the fabric web as well as functionalisation such as hydrophobisation or softener application by means of engraving roller pre-dosing. In addition, one-sided ink jet preparation is possible. Single-sided functionalisations with a wide variety of finishing chemicals can be realised, especially for fashion and technical applications.
