In addition to system assemblies and complete machines (e.g. in the extrusion sector), we also purchase a wide range of drawing parts as well as the purchased parts typical of mechanical engineering.You will find information below about the respective part ranges and their requirements. Due to the complexity of our business field, the portfolio listed can of course only show a selection of possible ranges by way of example. If you are interested in working with Brückner as a supplier, please fill out the relevant application form and send us a short description of your company.
Extrusion components
The extrusion process forms an essential component of Brückner lines; here, the plastic granules are processed into a high-quality melt. The extrusion plant usually consists of a main extruder and several co-extruders. In order to meet the technical requirements involved in this process, top surface qualities and precise execution within the required tolerances are necessary. The output rate varies from a few hundred kilograms up to ten tonnes per hour. An extrusion system consists of the following components:
Portfolio
- Extruder
- Single screw extruder
- Twin screw extruder (Co-rotating)
- Melt pumps and drain valves
- Melt filters:
- Large area filter with candles / discs
