Environment protection within the plastics industry is much about recycling and circular economy – but not only. Efficient use of energy and raw materials should be at least as important. At Araplast 2021 German market leader Brückner Maschinenbau will present latest stretching line concepts with significant efficiency increases, energy savings and for future recycling solutions.

• Mono-materials
  Brückner Maschinenbau has developed mono-material packaging solutions with the highest possible recycling capabilities. The state-of- the-art materials BOPP and BOPET have a great potential for high value second life products in an upcoming circular economy. A new opportunity is opening up with BOPE. 
   
• Hybrid line concepts: Combination of BOPE and BOPP production
  Brückner introduces two completely new line concepts for the production of BOPE films. The new lines also have the flexibility to produce BOPP films. 
   
• New inline coater
  Even if recycling stands at the forefront of a circular economy, new mono-material structures must fulfil the highest demands and must not be inferior to previous packaging films. This is why Brückner has developed a new inline coater for all BOPP and BOPE lines, installed in the line before the transversal stretching.
   
• Line concepts for recyclable shrink films
  Polyolefin shrink films are the trend for a better sortability and recyclability of bottles and sleeve labels. Brückner Maschinenbau has developed special low-density (<1) sleeves, fulfilling exactly this, and offers dedicated stretching line concepts.

At the joint Brückner Group booth, besides Brückner Maschinenbau and Brückner Servtec, Kiefel will be showing the latest developments for the packaging, medical and appliance industry.
