Solutions for functional and sustainable films

At Chinaplas 2024 in Shanghai (Hall 2.1, Booth H62) Brückner’s clear focus is on the manufacturing of specialty films which are in great demand worldwide, especially for the rapidly growing e-mobility and new energy sector:

- Battery separator films: Line concepts as well as customized machine components guaranteeing high energy efficiency, low production costs and consistent film quality– proven at leading manufacturers around the globe

- Composite current collector films: Downgauging, weight saving, reduction of metal as well as increased safety and an outstanding energy density per cell – Brückner presents latest stretching technologies
- Capacitor films: Sequential as well as simultaneous stretching process tomanufacture extremely thin and high-temperature films for EV applications or high energy density film for renewable energy applications in the power industry
- Solar back sheet: For the first time presented: a highly efficient 6.8m wide line with an output of 6 tons/hour of BOPET thick film up to 250µm to serve the photovoltaic applications growth market
- Latest developments in the patented simultaneous LISIM stretching process, ideally suited for the very efficient production of a wide variety of specialty films

In addition to the solutions for the rapidly growing technical film sector, Brückner Maschinenbau will also present further developments for increased (energy) efficiency and sustainability as well as circularity in packaging film manufacturing:

- Efficient and fast high output lines for a low specific energy consumption in BOPP, BOPET, BOPA film production
- Intelligent stretching oven management for even more energy saving
- Decreasing use of raw materials and "zero waste" in film production with a special direct recycling system and an increased proportion of A-grade film on the winder
- Solutions for bio-based and bio-degradable biaxially stretched packaging films, e.g. made of PLA/PHA
- Mono-material solutions to close the life cycle of BOPP, BOPET and BOPE plastic packaging, including unique BOPE/BOPP hybrid lines allowing film manufacturers to react swiftly and flexible to market trends

Brückner Maschinenbau is a member of the Brückner Group, Germany. At the joint Chinaplas booth, the other group members will be present too: Brückner Servtec will show service & upgrading solutions for film stretching lines, Kiefel will present machines for forming and joining for a variety of industries, and PackSys Global will demonstrate the latest packaging equipment.
