Bruckner Presenting Trend Setting Technologies At ITMA
Bruckner, a manufacturer of customised textile finishing and coating machinery and lines will present innovative and trend setting technologies at ITMA 2023 in Hall 18, Stall A101.
The German company will display the new generation of Stenter – Power-Frame SFP-4, which has many new features,
These include new electric or hydrogen powered heating systems, intelligent software solutions for optimising formulas, systems for heat recovery and exhaust air purification, innovative application systems for chemicals, and newly developed machine concepts.
Also on show is the most important innovation of the Bruckner Dryer. Driven by the energy crisis and the constant focus on energy-efficient solutions, new possibilities to combine different heating media like gas, steam, oil or electricity have been developed.
In addition, Bruckner also offers burners which can be operated with hydrogen in the future. These combinations allow the textile finisher maximum flexibility in the choice of energy carrier.
Another exciting development from Bruckner, are solutions for purely electric heating of industrial ovens by means of heat pumps, which Bruckner offers together with a partner.
According to Bruckner, green hydrogen or electricity reduce the dependence on fossil raw materials and contribute considerably to minimise the CO2 footprint.
The company will also showcase digital products and services. New lines are equipped with various intelligent assistance systems that support the machine operator in finding the optimum machine setting for each process.
A special innovation is the new simulation tool ExperTex, which, with the help of artificial intelligence, stimulates the desired production process of drying or heat-setting on the computer.
Different scenarios like throughput times, energy consumption, CO2 footprint and production costs can then be compared with each other.
This innovative system offers customers considerable added value, as it allows accurate pre-calculation of orders, opens up productivity gains or energy savings, and permits ‘first-time-right production’ by means of pre-optimised formulas.
The new generation of Eco-Heat heat-recovery and Eco-Air exhaust air purification systems features a new type of intelligent control. Both types of lines can also be retrofitted to older lines from various manufacturers in order to realise the best possible energy savings and solve existing exhaust air problems.
