Fachpack 2024
At Fachpack 2024 in Nuremberg, BRUNNER is presenting a fully automatic vertical cartoner, type VCL 180S, for the first time this year, which can process both left- and right-opening folding boxes.
This flexibility is particularly interesting for contract packers, as they often have no influence on the die-cut shape of the folding boxes, which are usually provided by their customers.
The machine presented is equipped with an automatic feeder for cosmetic jars. For the first time, a Scara robot from Schneider Electric, type RS-P6 60 with a 300 Z axis, is being used for this. This robot is a new addition to the delivery program of Schneider Electric, our longstanding partner for drive and control technology. Thanks to the complete integration into the modern PacDrive 3 control system, the usual interface problems when using robots with third-party controls are also eliminated.
Depending on the size of the folding box and product, up to 80 folding boxes can be processed per minute. The cartoner is designed for double-sided tuck-in closures, although other types of closure can also be integrated at any time. At the cartoner's outlet, the finished products can be transferred either standing or lying on the outlet conveyor for further processing.
The system is operated using the optional 15" PC-based HMI from Schneider Electric.
Take the opportunity and visit us from September 24 to 26, 2024 in Nuremberg, booth 348 in hall 3C. We warmly welcome you.
Moving to a new location ...
Just in time for the 20th anniversary since the re-founding of Brunner Engineering GmbH & Co. KG, the new production building was inaugurated on October 22, 2021. During a barbecue event, the employees celebrated the opening in the assembly area of the hall until late at night, together with current owner, Ralf Mohr.
The basis for a modern and future-oriented production facility was created on the new property with approx. 4,600 m² at Schlosserstraße 11. The building has a floor space of 1,250 m² with 2 storeys of office area.
The issue of sustainability had a significant influence on the entire planning. The building was therefore constructed to KfW standard 55. An efficient air-to-water heat pump supplies the underfloor heating for the office area during the cold seasons. In summer, additional air-conditioning units create a pleasant working atmosphere.
In the production area, modern air-conditioning split units are used, which provide a pleasant working climate via textile hoses, both in winter and in summer.
A large-scale photovoltaic system with an output of over 99 kWP generates the necessary energy. Surplus electricity is fed into the electricity grid
The new build made it possible to meet the ever-increasing demands of the market, as the previous location had increasingly reached its limits over the past 5 years. The steady growth along with the constant advancement of technologies in the field of folding box packaging machines made an investment in the future inevitable. The new premises now offer sufficient space for the necessary spatial and personnel resources for the coming years.
