Insulation and foam downstream lines

Highly developed technology: XPS and EPS downstream lines from BÜRKLE

The use of insulation boards to reduce the energy demand of new or existing buildings is an important part of environmental and climate targets. With the thermobonding lines, BÜRKLE creates the possibility to produce insulation boards with excellent insulation properties and at the same time lower insulation board thicknesses.

Our insulation and foam machines at a glance

Thickness and width extension
Thermobonding lines
Whether for the production of multi-layer insulation boards or for increasing thickness and width: our thermobonding lines can be integrated as a manually operated stand-alone machine, as a bypass parallel to an existing extrusion line or as a complete inline solution in an existing post-processing system.
Milling & profiling
Milling and profiling machines
By combining vacuum transport, precisely ground processing tables and optimally adjusted extraction hoods, BÜRKLE lines ensure high surface quality and thickness accuracy in all compressive strength ranges. With our milling and profiling machines, we set standards in the processing of insulation boards and other materials.
Assembling
Sawing & cutting machines
For the new planning, modernization or optimization of existing lines, BÜRKLE offers you individual system solutions in the field of sawing and cutting. The BÜRKLE downstream lines for sawing and cutting also support you with modern technologies when converting your continuous materials such as insulation boards or films.
Cooling & stacking
Handling systems for insulation boards
Handling systems for the production of insulation boards accelerate your production processes and also promote the reliability and safety of your processes. Automate your production with cooling, stacking or drying systems from BÜRKLE that adapt to your performance requirements and handling tasks.

For new planning, modernization and optimization of existing insulation lines, BÜRKLE offers you all components for automatic operation with recipe specification and electrical axes. It does not matter whether it is a simple coupling or a complex integration including data transmission and connection to the higher-level production control systems - BÜRKLE is your competent partner.

 

XPS downstream line with pre-trimming

Pre-trimming and flying knife

Pre-trimming and flying knife

The XPS endless strand is pre-edged by up to 200mm in width by our milling station. Then the endless strand is cut exactly to size by the flying knife to up to 14 length plates per minute. Due to our special handling technology with vacuum, the still relatively soft foam is not damaged by upper pressure or even changed in its cell structure.
Cooling and handling by paternoster

Cooling and handling by paternoster

Since the two production halls are located at two different heights, we use our paternoster not only for cooling but also as an intelligent handling system to compensate for the differences in height. At full production capacity, 64 long panels can be cooled and handled simultaneously in 32 compartments.

After overcoming the differences in hall height, the plates can be milled at this station either on both sides or only the top side for two-layer welding. We also make it possible to slit the insulation boards on one or both sides.

In case welding is required, the plates are passed laterally through the thermobonding according to the planner. Via the self-locking angle transfer the two-layer sheets are guided back into the extrusion line. As an additional option, the sheets can also be welded offline, while the extrusion of monolayer sheets can continue undisturbed.
Final processing of the longitudinal and transverse edges

Final processing of the longitudinal and transverse edges

The up to 400mm thick panels are finished at the last station. The longitudinal and transverse edges are profiled either with flat edge, step rebate or tongue and groove. On request, our sawing systems can cut the panels in half to form short panels. After the bundle stacking station, the bundles are transferred to the following packaging line.
