  • High quality with the well-known BÜRKLE membrane-free process

  • Different materials such as thermoplastic 3D films and also veneers can be used

  • Low space requirement for lower operating costs

  • Maximum output with the BÜRKLE active membrane frame (membrane process)

The BTF: Modernity down to the smallest detail

With our lines and machines for the surface finishing of 3D furniture parts, you benefit from variable and modern technologies. The wide thermoforming portfolio of BÜRKLE convinces with high quality, modular expandability and intuitive control concepts.

 

 

 

Laminating
3D laminating: Synchronous
The entry-level line is based on proven basic equipment for small and medium capacities and a small footprint. Our customers benefit from a simple laying and cutting table and the expandable production system.
Laminating
3D Laminating: Rotation
Our compact line with rotary system enables high active times of the line operators due to a smart process design. A great advantage in production is the double-sided pallet and the automatic pin system (automatic support panel system).
Laminating
3D Laminating: Flowline
Based on the LEAN idea, our high-performance line with high automation has been developed for large commissions. The laying, feeding and removal stations are installed separately from each other in line and allow high production capacities with low space requirements.

3D laminating lines

Modular line systems tailored to your requirements

With our modular line design, we enable you to design your individual line concept. With or without Membrane we are able to show every process. Convince yourself of our technologies and multiple application possibilities of our machines and line components with the help of our line overview in the hotspot element.

 

 

 

1

Double daylight transport

In order to ensure a continuous flow of material, we rely on double-daylight transport. The double-daylight transport handles the loaded pallets which enter and exit the press. Due to the double transport, two pallets can always be handled one above the other, for a significantly higher output.
2

Turning and cutting station with camera system

The glued parts are placed in position 1. Afterwards the machine takes over the positioning of the pins automatically via camera system. After the return transport, the pressed parts are automatically turned so that they can easily be cut out. Your advantage: The operators can remain at one position for loading and cutting. This saves distances, time and therefore money.
3

Multifoiler press with or without membrane

Hydraulic press for laminating 3D furniture fronts under temperature, vacuum and overpressure. At BÜRKLE you can decide if you want to work with membrane or without membrane. Each of the two processes has certain advantages, which we would like to show you personally.
4

Paternoster

The paternoster is characterized by a foil unloading device (antistatic), automatic foil feed and foil cutting device. So that all your foils can always be processed without delay, you can choose between paternosters with up to 60 foil rolls. In connection with the unloading device and the automatic feed / cutting station you will not lose any production time.

BTF Rotation: Top performance with minimum space requirement

The 3D thermoforming compact system not only enables high active times of the system operators due to a perfected process design, but is also characterized by an intuitive operating concept. We leave it to your requirements whether you produce with the BÜRKLE active membrane frame or the BÜRKLE membrane-free process. Both systems can be integrated in our modular lines.

1

Cleaning device

The brushing machine cleans the parts before automatic gluing.
2

CNC controlled gluing of the parts

The parts are fully automatically glued at the edges and the surface.
3

Drying

After gluing, the parts are dried in a continuous process.
4

Paternoster for foils with unwinding station

The BÜRKLE Paternoster is built according to your requirements by the number of foils to be taken up. In interaction with the unloading device (antistatic) and the automatic unwinding / cutting station it is ensured that the appropriate foil is always provided promptly.

5

Automatic lay-up area incl. camera system

The glued parts are automatically transferred to the lay-up pallet. Afterwards the pins are set automatically with the BÜRKLE camera system and the foil is laid.
6

BÜRKLE Multifolier 3D Press with or without membrane

Depending on the equipment, the BÜRKLE Multifoiler presses the parts with or without membrane in line. The empty pallets are transported under the press back to the lay-up area. Due to the design covering the used heating energy is kept in the press. Thanks to the well thought-out design of the covering, quick and easy access for maintenance purposes is provided.
7

Turning device without vacuum

The patented BÜRKLE turner enables the "inline" turning of the pressed parts without the use of a vacuum device. This prevents the parts from falling down during the turning process.
8

Cutting area

After the BÜRKLE Multifoiler you have the possibility to cut out the already turned parts either manually or CNC controlled. After the cutting station adhesive residues are optionally removed by a brushing station.

BTF Flowline: Our high-performance line

The BTF Flowline convinces with maximum automation in the field of 3D press technology. If required, the system can be designed to create a fully automated production line. Including the connection to an automatic gluing of the parts and an automatic cutting station for the pressed parts. For you this means: Maximum output with minimum personnel costs.

Lay-up and Feeding Station

The standard lay-up and feeding station can be supplemented with foil unwinding stations according to your needs. You have the choice whether you work with our manual pins or in series production with your backing piece.
2

Multifoiler without or with membrane

As with all our 3D membrane presses, you also have the choice of working with or without a membrane on the entry-level machine. In addition, an optional membrane for processing veneers and a high chamber for processing shaped parts, such as bathroom fronts, are available.
3

Additional Lay-up and Feeding Station

In order to increase the capacity of the line, a second loading and feeding station can be operated with the machine. With this option the output can be increased and you can reduce the absenteeism of the machine operators. This increases the output of the line and reduces your costs.

BTF Synchronous: Our entry into 3D technology

The BTF Synchronous allows you a flexible entry into the 3D press technology. The system is suitable for small and pilot series as well as for one-off production in furniture making, shop fitting and boat building. Depending on your capacity requirements, you can choose between one- and two-pallet feeding. Like all our 3D presses, even the entry-level system is fully covered, which ensures that the heating energy used is kept inside the press.
