Refurbishing Service for Biax Lines
NPE2024: Clip and chain systems for film-stretching lines can now be overhauled in the U.S.
Brueckner Group USA is introducing newly developed local services for film-stretching lines as well as digitalization solutions, both providing a service platform for the full life cycle of a film stretching line.
Concerning the former, Brueckner has established a refurbishment shop in Dover, New Hampshire, where the latest clip and chain systems, as well as legacy systems (such as FOK 4.5, 4.8, and 4.4.6) can be overhauled. The advantage of free sample inspections for condition monitoring and the expertise at the workshop minimizes downtime and helps ensure maximum availability of North American customers’ film production lines.

On the latter, new modules for the web-based Brückner ONE digital service platform for the Help Center and E-Learning support film manufacturers to reach a higher line availability with step-by-step instructions for all Brückner ONE modules and self-learning videos. Additionally, new maintenance, production and analytics modules will be available for preview.
