		Stand-alone power station (electrical & thermal energy)

 
Brückner Formtec: Economy of Scale –
extra large output of CPP, LLDPE  and APET films
 
Brückner Formtec presents sophisticated and highly efficient cast and sheet extrusion lines. Cast Film Lines for CPP and LLDPE stretch wrap with a width of up to 6 meters and lines featuring roll stack technology up to 2,7m width show Formtec´s unique standing.
 
Additionally Brückner Formtec’s innovative approach towards laminated PET/PE structures combines this converting step in-line to the extrusion process. As a result, productivity is significantly increased due to lower handling- and storage costs.
 
Brückner Servtec: Tailor-made service products
 
Brückner Servtec, the after-sales service and upgrading division, will present various solutions for the efficient and cost-effective operation of recently commissioned lines. Servtec`s experts will demonstrate software tools to increase productivity, and also maintenance of chain track systems and proposals for speed-up, process optimisations and software-upgrades.
