A working width of 10.4m, speeds up to 600m/min and an hourly output above
7,600 kilo: these are the key figures of the world’s largest BOPP film production line which
has now been acquired by Bulgarian film producer Plastchim-T. With a future total output
of more than 110,000 tons of BOPP films per year, Plastchim-T further strengthens
their position as one of Europe’s leading packaging manufacturers.
The new line is an investment in the future, as Managing Director Beyan Faik says: “We
strive to make our company fit for the next generation. This highly productive line bears
enormous potential and is a perfect complement to our existing BOPP line park. We now
have a broad portfolio of Brückner lines in working widths of 4.2m, 6.6m, 8.7m and soon
10.4m – with this equipment we will be able to react very flexibly to the markets’ fast
changing demands and can offer various films grades in small or large lots, even on short
notice.” Such flexibility combined with a broad film portfolio, high quality standards, a
well-developed sales and service network and an advantageous location on the Black Sea
coast has made Plastchim-T’s development a remarkable success story within Europe’s film
industry over the last years. For the 10.4m line a completely new factory will be built, ful-
filling highest demands regarding efficiency, operation costs, material flow, logistics and
energy consumption. Brückner Maschinenbau is proud to have found with Plastchim-T an
optimal partner for this historical step: Increase of today´s production speeds of
500-525m/min up to 600 m/min in a defined period of time. Plastchim-T’s latest line fea-
tures a high speed machine direction orienter (MDO), a new sliding chain track system, a
tailor-made surface treatment system and a special winding concept, both for highest
speeds. Another highlight is Brückner’s linear motor technology for the line’s better
running stability.
