BTU Technology B.V.

Stacking beyond innovation!

The internationally active company BTU Technology B.V. (BTU) designs, produces and delivers complete systems and individual functioning (de-)stackers for the (sheet) metal processing industry. These advanced machines enable customers to quickly and efficiently handle a multitude of sheetmetal blanks and profiles into neat stacks within tight tolerances in a safe way, and immediately ready for the next production phase. With ongoing product innovation, BTU’s machines continue to belong to the highest level in flexibility and efficiency. BTU: ‘Stacking beyond innovation!’

BTU has fulfilled a pioneering role in the development of the first Blank stackers. Because these machines are an important part in the production process, the principle is simple: Creating surplus value within the production process of the customer. As this regards handling systems and (de-)stackers, the focus is placed on processing sheetmetal blanks or profiles as efficient as possible. Automation, speed and flexibility are at the forefront. Flexibility in the sense of being able to automatically handle different shapes and products with short switching times.

The years of experience has resulted in a product portfolio with machines for stacking and handling profiles, Purlin stackers; and machines for stacking sheetmetal, Blank stackers. Within both product groups there are several variations and types of machines available, each suitable for a specific application. The machines have been designed in such a way that they can be modified according to customer requirements by using numerous upgrades and options. As an addition to the sheetmetal handling systems, a turning station has also been added to the product portfolio, which makes it possible to level out any height differences and turn a stack of blanks in such a manner that they rotate the desired 180 degrees and are ready for the next production phase.

A high performance rate and continuity within the customer’s production process are of utmost importance. Therefore, this is considered to be one of the most important criteria in the design of the machine, built with high quality machine parts. The maintenance and service department is fully equipped to this as well.

BTU Technology B.V.  is a subsidiary of Smulders Group and part of the Machine constructions division.
