BOPA: Higher yield on simultaneous lines
Brückner has noticed a growing interest in the market for po-
lyamide packaging films and offers a selection of line types.
Brückner’s LISIM (Linear Motor Simultaneous Stretching) si-
multaneous stretching process is enjoying an increased de-
mand as BOPA film can be produced in the highest quality and
with optimised finishing characteristics. For the K the company
presents LISIM BOPA lines with a working width of 6.6 me-
tres, instead of the usual 5.1 metres. This increases output by
a good 30% and substantially increases productivity.

Kiefel: exclusive solutions
More and more people want beverages when on the
move, and producers of the cups required rely on Kiefel
as they react to this growing demand. The latest generation of
the Thermorunner convinces right across the range.
Up to 45 production cycles per minute. The very latest in cup-
forming machines Kiefel’s KTR 6.1 Speed produces more cups
than ever. A significant rise in punching force - combined with
a greater forming area - increases the number of cavities even
more. The newly developed prestretching plug is actuated by
a powerful linear motor. Faster pre-stretching has a positive
effect on material distribution and processing speed. Our re-
cipe for success can be summed up as higher quality in less
time.
Hygienic production
A sophisticated stacking and picking system allows the KTR
6.1 Speed to produce even thin-walled cups in a reliable man-
ner. The KIST vertical stacking system works without the assi-
stance of brushes or rubber elements.
The resulting avoidance of friction ensures smooth, hygienic
production.
The benefits of the KTR 6.1 Speed for cup manufacturers in-
clude, apart from faster processing and better products, the
usual Kiefel reliability across the entire line. This full use of avai-
lable performance naturally requires topquality machine tools
to match. The tool used has been developed and produced by
Bosch Sprang, one of the sector’s most prestigious suppliers.
Domed lids designed to fit these cups are produced on Kie-
fel’s new Speedformer KMD 78 Power machine. Both machi-
nes will be on show this October at the Düsseldorf K 2016
event.
Kiefel Thermorunner KTR 6.1 Speed
 The higher performance of our drive systems allows pro-
duction rates to be increased to up to 45 cycles per minute.
 Increases in the size of the forming area and punching force
(leading to a greater number of cavities) likewise help to ma-
ximise output
 Pre-stretching plug configured as a linear drive with increa-
sed acceleration and stamping force
 Vertical-stacking and picking system: Reliable production
even of thin-walled cups; hygienic, low-maintenance opera-
tion without brushes or rubber elements
