With individual and customer-oriented solutions BRÜCKNER could realize already more than 5000 projects all around the globe. Many lines have been supplied for technical and fashion coating. State-of-the-art application technologies combined with innovative BRÜCKNER dryer concepts results in economic systems solutions for any requirement profile.

Our range of products comprises among other things coating lines for direct and indirect PVC, PU, Acrylate and silicone coating, lines for the finishing of parachute silk, sailing cloth, air bags, sportswear and artificial leather.

Advantages: 

• maximum production capacity
• lower energy consumption
• highest possible accuracy in temperature distribution, air circulation, and application of coating
• robust and long-lasting construction
• high availability and reliability of the line
• state-of-the-art technology and control

On our lines various coating technologies can be used to achieve the desired finishing effects: 

• Hydrophobic
• Hydrophilic
• Flame-Retardant
• Anti-static
• Waterproof
• Oil-repellent
• Breathable
• Heat-resistant
• Non-slip
• Windproof
• Anti-bacterial
• Resistant to chemicals
• Heat-regulating

Coating with OPTI-COAT CFT - KNIT GOODS

Characteristics: 

• integration of a rotary printing screen in the entry zone of the stenter
• centering of the fabric in front of the introduction to the coating unit
• extremely short fabric path between the coating unit and the pin-on point at the stenter
• tension-controlled fabric transport of the elastic fabric through the complete process
• selective width and length heat-setting of the fabric with a stenter with optionally available fabric support belt
• flexible foam processor by Stork Prints, which can be used also for paste processsing

Compared to the classical coating with knife-over-air or knife-over-cylinder the coating by means of rotary screen has the following advantages: 

• no fabric distortion and no damage of the fabric surface (for example abrasion) during the coating process
• the application quantity and the application position can be set exactly for all screen types, this allows to apply certain functional features systematically on certain positions of the fabric
• it is possible to realize plain coating and dot coating, the fabric hand can be influenced selectively
• beside "invisible" functions such as hydrophobic finishing uncolored fashion effects can be realized with the direct coating process

Coating with OPTI-COAT KA - WOVEN GOODS 

The new OPTI-COAT KA  coating unti is perfectly suited for the coating of woven fabric and of staple knitted fabric with little distortions. Aqueous dispersions and foams as well as paste can be applied. The shape and thickness of the squeegee can be adapted for the respective purpose.

Available working widths: 1600 mm to 3400 mm

Typical application quantity, dry: 5 - 50 g/m²
Typical application quantity, wet: 20 - 100 g/m²

Typical end products: 

• home textiles
• canvas
• upholstery material
• air bag material
• light and sun shade material
• rubber boat and air mattress fabric
• fashionable garment fabric

Benefits: 

• very compact design
• stable execution
• simple operation
• appropriate for the retrofit of existing lines
• optimum application since the squeegee can be adjusted horizontally, vertically, and angularly and the rear guide roller can be fixed in five positions
• explosion-proof design is possible
