Milling and Profiling

High-quality surfaces: Milling and profiling with BÜRKLE

The processing of extruded insulation boards for exact thicknesses and dimensions is our specialty in the field of XPS and EPS processing. The BÜRKLE milling machines for profiling and pre-trimming of insulation boards in combined with the BÜRKLE vacuum transport technology enable you to achieve high surface quality and accuracy. Our systems offer you individually applicable technologies for all requirements around milling and profiling.

Your advantages at a glance

  • Vacuum transport for a secure hold in all processing steps

  • Precise profiling thanks to high-quality components and processes

  • Comprehensive know-how in processes and materials due to many years of project experience

  • Precise surface quality despite high processing speeds

  • Individual concepts for customer-specific requirements

  • High quality and reliability due to proven technology and processes

  • Fast tool change for low downtimes

Highest degree of accuracy even at 60m/min.

Through the combination of vacuum transport, precisely ground processing tables as well as optimally adjusted extraction hoods, the BÜRKLE lines ensure high surface qualities and thickness accuracy in all pressure resistance ranges. With our milling and profiling machines, we set standards in the processing of insulation boards and other materials.

Thermobonding & downstream lines

Broad technology portfolio for a wide range of applications

With our modular line construction we enable you to design your own individual system. Convince yourself of our technologies and the various application possibilities of our machines and line components in the hotspot element and brochure.

XPS downstream line with pre-trimming

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

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.

Surface treatment with following thermobonding in bypass

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.

Surface treatment with following thermobonding in bypass

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

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.
