Short installation time, long service life
Beyer Maschinenbau GmbH was looking for an energy supply system that provides the stability and durability needed in its beverage machines. Our e-chain E4.1L does more than meet this requirement. Due to its design, it is easy to fill and assemble while being cable-friendly at the same time. It therefore shortens assembly times and ensures long-lasting cables.

Fully automatic labellers
Today, reliable and efficient machines are required for the labelling of products. What matters is a combination of speed, precision and flexibility. A failure of the labeller? That would be annoying and on top of that very costly. Bluhm Systeme GmbH therefore not only develops fully automated marking systems with labels, inkjet or laser, it also relies on durable and maintenance-free drylin® linear bearing technology.
