22 Extrusion International 5/2025 К 2025 Modular Upgrade Concepts & New Performance Services Modular upgrades for line transformation and production increase – Targeted retro t solutions for tomorrow’s state-of-the-art BO lm stretching lines: • Inline coating upgrade (ILC): With layer thicknesses in the nanometer range, new formulas improve printability and take the barrier properties of BOPP lms to a new level. In recent years, Brückner Maschinenbau and Servtec have sold more than 25 ILC systems that support the production of recyclable mono-material packaging – as required by EU Regulation 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste (PPWR). • BOPE upgrade: The enhanced concept supplements ex- isting BOPP lines with the option of producing LLD-PE and HD-PE – an important element for mono-material solutions for simpli ed recycling. It is an integral part of the portfolio and enables nearly 100% PE output compared to the origi - nal production, for example by means of targeted extruder modi cations. • Productivity upgrade: An ef cient solution to increase the line output – using mechanical, electrical, or software- based measures, depending on requirements. Here is one example: Optimization of the highly complex TDO (trans- versal direction orienter) chain system component, for in- stance by replacing FOK 4.4.6 with FOK 8.8. In combination with double nips in the MDO (machine direction orienter) stretching frame, additional TDO frequency converters, or updating the IMC software, production speed can be in- creased by up to 20%. New performance services – Fast on-site support for lm manufacturers thanks to new service products. • Line inspection (1 day): Analysis of the line processes to reveal hidden ef ciency potential – including immediately implementable optimization measures such as process pa- rameter adjustments • KPI check (3 days): Industry comparison based on real operating data to assess key performance indicators (en- ergy consumption, maintenance quality, productivity) and derived conversion and service suggestions • Performance boost (5 days): Profound process optimi- zation with a focus on increased production output, im- proved energy ef ciency, and knowledge transfer. In addi - tion: targeted approaches to quality improvements and the development of future-oriented lm types. In comparable applications, the line yield was increased by up to 40%. Brückner ONE: the next step in digital services – The current generation of Brückner ONE provides advancements for increased ef ciency, safety, and exibility in digital line operation. • Condition monitoring 2.0: Shorter reporting intervals, in-depth analyses, and speci c recommendations for ac - tion allow for an even more targeted condition monitor- ing of key line components (main extruder gearbox, TDO chain, parts of the extraction system) as well as early plan- ning of maintenance measures. Further line components will be integrated successively. • Support: For the rst time converted to web technol - ogy and decoupled from the line network, it combines a ticket system with remote support and a communication solution.
