Receiving the EcoVadis Scorecard: Further strengthening sustainability with responsibility and transparency

We have our EcoVadis Scorecard we view this as an important step in further strengthening and systematically expanding our commitment to sustainability.

For us, sustainability is closely linked to responsible action, reliable processes, and long-term partnerships. Especially in the B2B environment, customers rightly expect today not only efficient products and solutions, but also transparency and accountability along the supply chain.

The EcoVadis assessment gives us the opportunity to structure our existing measures and to further develop them specifically. These include topics such as environmental responsibility, ethical conduct, labor and human rights, and sustainable procurement processes.

Our ambition is clear: We want to support our customers not only with products and services, but also as a reliable partner in the face of increasing demands for transparency, compliance, and sustainable supply chains.

Therefore, we understand the scorecard received as confirmation and at the same time as an obligation to continue this path consistently. For us, sustainability is not a short-term trend but an essential component of a future-proof and trustworthy collaboration.

We are also happy to be available to our customers in a personal setting when it comes to requirements for transparency, supply chain information, and sustainable collaboration.

Weiterbildungsförderung bei Klocke

We have a freshly graduated Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering

We would like to congratulate our colleague Mr. Daniel Dück on his Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (Bielefeld University). His Bachelor's thesis about our future „hydraulic hose configurator“ at our sister company Karl Heitz Industrial Representative GmbH This is an example of our employee development program. Daniel Dück says: „I am grateful for the support of Mr. Thorsten Kott and the fantastic team of the two sister companies. Through the lively exchange, great ideas have been developed that have led to a tool that creates added value for the customer as well as for the company.“ The hydraulic hose configurator will make it easier for buyers, production managers, designers, etc. to assemble customized hose assemblies with a variety of connections and twist angles directly to receive a price to trigger an order. Our colleagues will take over the order and production can start immediately. This significantly shortens the time from need to receiving the individually manufactured hoses, a win-win situation for all involved.

Our Managing Director Thorsten Kott emphasizes: „We invest in talents like Mr. Dück and continuously promote our employees. They are the heart of our company and drive our future, and therefore yours as well.“

Zahnriemenscheibe AI 360 ATS_beschichtet_Messprotokoll

Extreme tooth widths: AT3 and AT5 – quality in perfection

The demand for precise and reliable drive components is constantly growing, especially in areas where wide-span conveyor belts and high requirements for synchronous operation play a role. This is where toothed belt pulleys with extreme tooth widths come into play. Even in configurations such as AT3 and AT5, tooth widths of more than 300mm can be achieved. This opens up possibilities for the design of machines and systems and increases efficiency in production.

The gear belt pulleys that enable such extreme tooth pitch widths are manufactured in our company according to customer specifications and are hard-coated. This ensures the highest quality and precision in performance transmission. Each pulley is tested to its full-circle characteristics in accordance with the mulco standard to ensure that it meets the requirements.

Environmentally friendly, RoHS-compliant and precise

The AT3 and AT5 gear belt pulleys not only meet technical standards but are also environmentally friendly. They are RoHS compliant and therefore meet the relevant environmental requirements. Each product is supplied with a 3D measurement protocol to ensure the highest precision and quality.

We keep you informed about the latest developments in drive technology at all times to ensure that you are always up to date. Simply sign up for our newsletter or in our Innovation Center.

The new BRECOroll roller belt

The BRECOroll is a new development in which rollers are integrated into the teeth of the belt.
With this product, BRECO is targeting the application area of material transport technology. Timing belts used for material transport tasks are usually very long. Almost always, the load strand of the belt lies in a support rail that guides the belt laterally and absorbs the weight forces of the workpieces lying on the belt and of the belt itself. This creates friction between the belt and the support rail. Often, a large part of the drive power is used to overcome this self-locking of the system. In the process, the drive is loaded with large forces, generates heat and runs with poor efficiency. Heating the belt lowers its strength - especially that in the V-joint weld - and reduces belt life. Rollers in the belt teeth replace sliding friction with rolling friction, which is much smaller:
While the coefficient of friction between a polyurethane timing belt and a plastic guide rail is rarely less than 0.5 (μ > 0.5), coefficients of friction below 0.2 can be realized with rolling friction (μ < 0.2).

The drive power can be significantly reduced and the self-heating of the system is significantly lower. The small roller diameter, which leads to very high roller speeds, and the Hertzian surface pressures between the rollers and the support rail limit the maximum speed and load capacity.

The BRECOroll can be used up to speeds of 1 m/s and - in relation to the belt back surface - up to area loads of max. 0.03 MPa. The recommendation is 3 kg per roll.
However, these limits are completely sufficient for most material transport tasks in automated manufacturing processes. The installation space required for the axle and the pulley can only be accommodated in a large belt tooth with 20 mm pitch. The T profile is more suitable for this application than, for example, the AT profile, because the AT rests with the tooth head of the belt in the pulley when running around the toothed pulley. Integrated rollers would cause a large part of the contact surface to be lost. To ensure tilt-free running, two rows of rollers are required across the belt width.
For the three reasons mentioned above, the BRECOroll is only available in the 100 T20 pitch. In the meantime, the European patent EP 3 147 239 and the US patent US 9,643,788 have been granted for the BRECOroll. All tests were successfully completed in 2019. The belt is available immediately as a V-belt. Back coatings are possible.

Let us advise you on the subject of BRECOroll.
