Coperion and Brückner expand partnership to drive advanced plastic processing solutions

Brückner Maschinenbau, the world's leading manufacturer of film stretching lines, has once again awarded Coperion a volume contract for ZSK twin screw extruders of the ZSK Mc¹⁸ series. This order is based on the long-standing, intensive cooperation between Brückner and Coperion, which began back in 2008.

Brückner initially used Coperion ZSK extruders for BOPP film lines. This was followed by numerous projects that the two companies successfully implemented together. In the meantime, the range of applications for film stretching lines has expanded significantly: Brückner also implements lines for BOPET, BSF, and BOPA films with ZSK extruders, among others.

The current volume contract underscores Brückner's confidence in Coperion's proven technology. The ZSK extruders melt the compounds that feed the film stretching lines. Thanks to their high torque, the ZSK Mc¹⁸ extruders achieve very high throughputs while maintaining low product temperatures, resulting in first-class product quality.

“We greatly appreciate the close, constructive cooperation with Brückner Maschinenbau,” says Cornelia Koch, Business Segment Manager Direct Extrusion at Coperion. “Together, we have already successfully completed numerous projects. With the comprehensive expertise of our two companies, we have been able to develop many innovative solutions over the years that have increased the throughput rates of Brückner film stretching lines, boosted their efficiency, and improved film quality.”
