More dynamics, less maintenance: How the Franke principle increases the efficiency of modern packaging lines.
The demands placed on modern packaging machines are higher than ever before: extreme dynamics, maximum cycle times and uncompromising hygiene are the basic requirements for surviving in global competition today. A decisive, often underestimated lever for the overall performance of a system lies in the choice of guide system.
The Franke principle: lightweight construction without compromise
Conventional linear guides made of steel often have a high dead weight, which slows down acceleration and increases energy consumption. This is where Franke comes in with an innovative design: Wire raceways flanged into aluminium guide profiles combine the advantages of lightweight construction and maximum load-bearing capacity.
In this white paper, you will learn how this principle directly influences the efficiency of your packaging processes - from pouch packaging to high-speed gripper arms. >Download whitepaper now.
The focal points at a glance:
- Focus on market requirements: Why factors such as CIP (Cleaning in Place), energy efficiency and the reduction of downtimes will determine the design of tomorrow.
- Technology check: Franke linear guideways in direct comparison to recirculating ball bearing and plain bearing guideways in terms of weight, maintenance and precision.
- Maximum dynamics: How travel speeds of up to 10 m/s and accelerations of up to 100 m/s² can be reliably realised.
- Sustainability & hygiene: Lubricant-free variants and corrosion-resistant materials for use in food and pharmaceutical packaging.
- Practical examples: Concrete success stories from the industry that show how overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) has been significantly increased by reducing weight.
