19.01.2009 "Now we speak Swiss German, too" HÖCKER Polytechnik establishes branch in Lucerne (Switzerland)
On 22 January 2009, the plant contractor HÖCKER Polytechnik from Hilter in Lower Saxony opened a new branch in Lucerne, Switzerland. The new HÖCKER Polytechnik AG which has been especially established for the purpose will continue the "Elutherm" business activities of the Swiss company "Etienne AG" from the city of Lucerne, from February 2009 onwards. By doing so, HÖCKER Polytechnik once again expands its position as one of the leading European suppliers of air-extraction and filter systems, briquetting presses and paint mist extraction systems and devices for practically every branch of manufacturing industry. In more than 20 years of cooperation up to the present day, Etienne AG and Höcker Polytechnik have together installed numerous extraction and filter plants for tradesmen and industrial customers all over Switzerland. For the Lucerne HÖCKER Polytechnik AG this wide customer base represents both an obligation and an opportunity for the future at one and the same time.
By taking on the greater part of the Elutherm employees, HÖCKER Polytechnik AG is also acquiring their know-how and long years of experience. In practically all departments, our present customers will be able to talk to their usual contacts. As a result, an uninterrupted maintenance and repair service for all those machines and plant already installed by Etienne AG is ensured, and the professional attention and handling of all orders in progress and future ones are guaranteed.
Besides the wood-processing sector, HÖCKER Polytechnik's Swiss branch will in the future be the ideal point of contact for the paper-manufacturing industry in Switzerland. Because HÖCKER Polytechnik is the German market leader when it comes to extraction and filter systems, as well as pneumatic conveying systems for the carton and corrugated fibreboard industry. The appropriate plant systems from the Höcker product line will extend the Swiss HÖCKER Polytechnik AG's range.
About Etienne AG:
Until recently Etienne AG from Lucerne was one of the leading Swiss suppliers of wood-processing machinery, production facilities and a wide range of comprehensive services to the wood-processing sector. As a result of the structural and technological changes in the wood-processing sector, Etienne AG carried out far-reaching restructuring measures in order to guarantee the future of its business activities in the interests of the sector, and to secure jobs: the company divested itself of the four operating divisions (to HÖCKER Polytechnik AG among others) to continue them as independent companies. The "Technocenter" in Horw and more than 50 jobs out of a total of around 60 will be maintained.

15.01.2009 "At HÖCKER, energy efficiency is not just a fashionable phrase." Since the 1980s, HÖCKER Polytechnik has been supplying the Klingele-Werken [Klingele Factories?] with energy-saving plant for process waste disposal.
For more than 25 years HÖCKER Polytechnik has been the supplier of the technology for paper and corrugated fibreboard disposal to the Klingele company.
Many different plant types, from waste and dust extractors, to ventilation and conveyor belts have been installed in the past in the various production facilities.
As a result of the extensive modernisation work in the Klingele Group, improvements and expansion of our extraction and conveying equipment or even complete new systems became necessary.
In the Hilpoltstein, Werne, Delmenhorst and Grunbach / Remshalden factories, the complete waste disposal technology was revised, planned and implemented.
The Klingele company places particular value on environmental protection and cleanliness; the production techniques of existing and also new processing machines was rationally altered so that waste disposal could be done principally by means of large conveyor belts. For the most part, the conveyor belt systems were installed in new underfloor channels. The waste material is then fed into the channel balers via an inclined conveyor.
This method of waste disposal produces little dust and is energy efficient. The edge strips from the corrugated fibreboard units are also partly disposed of in the same channel balers by a suitably-adapted extractor system.
By reducing and adapting the extractor units (using an underpressure system) permanent savings can be made in energy and heating costs.
Special material separators and filters were employed which enable smooth separation and filtering of the materials and dust from the air.
Furthermore, Klingele invested in dust briquetting presses by HÖCKER Polytechnik. These automatically dispose of the accumulated dust from the filters and compress it into manageable briquettes.
On many of the processing machines decentralised dust extractors were installed. This is where the extracted air or inserts are cleaned of dust or extracted by suction. To avoid long duct distances, in certain places small filter units were set up in the production at each machine in order to ensure low-dust and pleasantly ventilated workplaces.
In addition, at the Delmenhorst Factory, as an intermediate solution before the future completion of the extension, a combined shredder-conveyor system was installed. Here the waste from the stamping machines is fed directly into a slow-moving shredder via an underfloor conveyor. From there the shredded material is transported by means of the existing air extraction system to the balers. When the installation is completed, the shredder will be replaced by a suitable inclined conveyor to the baler.
Since in several factories the upgrading required a period of several months while normal operation continued, several building sections were necessary. Precise agreement and numerous site visits with perfect coordination regarding the individual work sections and binding installation dates were needed to carry it all through. All the planned objectives to keep to schedule and to minimise lost production time were achieved by the parties working together.
All the extraction and conveyor systems delivered were planned so that in the future they can be easily and economically extended at any time in the individual factories.

23.04.2008 Drupa 2008 „Always one idea ahead“.Höcker Polytechnik presents itself with this slogan once again at the DRUPA 2008, Hall 16, Booth D29.
Höcker Polytechnik is one of the leading companies in Europe concerning waste management and dedusting plants with 3 offices in Germany and 5 agencies in Europe. The qualified and innovative advice and projecting of complete installations in the paper- and printing industry are the main areas of expertise of Höcker Polytechnik. At the main booth in Hall 16, the company will show a waste management concept for folding boxes.
The core of this concept is a shredder type PHSS for high speed die cutting processes in the cardboard and corrugated industries. Pneumatic conveying removes trim and discrete cut-outs from a die cutter but pneumatic conveying requires the shredding of this waste material. The main component of the especially energy-saving extraction and conveying technique of Höcker Polytechnik is the separator PMA (pressure-less material separation) for the feeding of possible compacting systems as stationary compactor or baler and the filter installation type MultiStar with Jet cleaning and integrated fan combined with a briquetting press type BrikStar. To demonstrate a realistic, almost dust free waste disposal, the press is filled up with dust and will produce briquetts at the convention.
Additionally a filter model of the new generation MultiStar will be demonstrated. This model shows vividly the manner of different possibilities concerning filter regeneration, dust removal and operation mode (high- or low pressure operation) of this product.
At Höcker Polytechnik’s own specification, no other manufacturer is able to offer a complete filter range with different widths and certified pressure shock resistance (Dekra-Exam). However, they are merely providing the technology, but support their customers in completing the documents for explosion proof according to ATEX and health and safety regulations.
In Hall 6, Booth 11, Höcker Polytechnik is presenting together with Wohlenberg a waste disposal system for paper chips and dust of two book binding lines and one quick binder all of which are ready for operation.
A main component for this installation is, among others, a Presto baler type CC 30V of Kampwerth Umwelttechnik, Bad Laer. Pneumatic conveying removes the paper chips’ pressure less through the material separator PMA and feeds the baler. The paper chips are hydraulically compacted and the bales are automatically tied with three wires for transport.
The downstreamed filter installation with integrated continuously adjustable clean air fan assures the necessary vacuum air volume. The milling dust of the adhesive binder is filtered. The filter is cleaned with Jet cleaning and the dust is automatically discharged out of the filter and compacted into briquetts.
