New Split-Line: More work processes mapped with fewer resources
How Butzkies Stahlbau is redefining productivity and process reliability in…
The raw material is loaded by crane and passes through the blasting machine, drilling and milling centre and mitre saw fully automatically. Cross conveyors, gripper carriages and automatic buffer zones ensure a continuous and safe flow of material.
The entire process is monitored by just one operator during the day. The previous process required four operators. In addition, long unmanned shifts are possible, which significantly increases productivity.
The system enables blasting, drilling, milling, marking and sawing in a single automated process sequence. This allows significantly more work processes to be carried out with fewer operating personnel, including unmanned shifts.
Automation leads to significantly higher output, expanded processing options, high process stability and future-proofing, as well as reduced staffing requirements on the carrier line. The system responds optimally to skills shortages and increasing productivity requirements.
Several modules of Vernet Behringer's VBProSuite3 are used:
- PRONC3: Import and verification of geometries (DSTV, STEP)
- ESTIME3: Tool and time planning, collision verification
- PROFLOW: Order overview, nesting, real-time production monitoring
Butzkies saw this combination as offering the most sophisticated automation, maximum process reliability and a consistent solution without interface problems. All core processes (blasting, drilling, milling, sawing) come from a single source and are perfectly coordinated.
Combined large bandsaw line for forging companies
Economical sawing of raw materials, metal ingots and forged products
The requirements in foundries, forging companies, in steel production or in the trade require special solutions in order to be able to handle the usually heavy materials safely and reliably. The transport from machine to machine alone often harbours enough risks. The installation of a rail transport system combined with the arrangement of several large bandsaws in a row is one way of improving the handling of difficult materials.

The three robust sawing units move independently of each other via a rail system. Sawing several jobs in parallel not only saves costs and time, but also reduces the load on the crane, thereby ensuring the safety of the employees.
Productivity increases and non-productive times are significantly reduced, as loading and unloading only takes place once during the main shift. Process reliability in three-shift operation is absolutely guaranteed, as the sawing machines are extremely robust and hardly susceptible to faults.
Depending on the machine selected, materials with a cutting range of up to 2,100 x 1,100 millimetres can be sawn. The giant band saws are therefore perfect for the economical cutting of bulky materials such as metal blocks, heavy cast products or solid forged products.
Horizontal bandsaw Font size test
The automatic bandsaw offers powerful, accurate cuts with low costs per cut
The automatic band saw Font size test from BEHRINGER is designed for economical use in industry and the steel trade. It offers high-performance saw cuts with simultaneously low cutting deviations in easy to difficult-to-machine metals and plastics. In doing so, the band saw covers a wide range of materials from profiles and tubes to solid material. Thanks to its wide-opening full enclosure, the automatic band saw Font size test offers uncompromising work protection combined with good accessibility. Its low energy consumption contributes to resource-saving production.

History of the iron foundry in Kirchardt
From molten iron to the finished product
The production of cast iron is deeply rooted in BEHRINGER's corporate philosophy. As early as 1951, the first foundry was put into operation under simple working conditions in the centre of Kirchardt (Baden-Württemberg). Over time, the portfolio was expanded to include the manufacture of cast products for external customers.
The first foundry
With the first foundry in the centre of Kirchardt below the Protestant church, August Behringer's dream ‘from molten iron to the finished product’ came true. It all began with a cupola furnace, wooden boxes nailed together and a lot of inexperience. To acquire the necessary expertise, the company made contact with a friend.
Expansion in the village
The foundry moved to a neighbouring property in Kirchardt. A second oven as well as conveyor belts and roller conveyors were installed so that production could be more efficient. At this time, the company mainly produced castings for its own saw production.
Move to the industrial area
With the start of construction in today's industrial area, the foundry is fundamentally modernised. The first casting was started in June 1971. With a new electric furnace, spheroidal graphite cast iron could now be produced in addition to grey cast iron. At the same time, working conditions improved.
As the mechanical engineering remained in the village, the finished castings had to be transported by lorry to the old factory for processing and assembly.
A second melting oven
In order to fulfil the high demand, the mechanical engineering and foundry departments were each extended by one hall. The foundry was given a second melting furnace and a modern dedusting system.
Installation of a moulding line
In order to be able to continue producing economically, the decision was made to invest in a fully automatic moulding line. Technical progress in the foundry was ensured by a new, fully automatic sand preparation plant (1985).
New construction of the foundry
The investment in state-of-the-art production technology combined with many years of expertise in grey and spheroidal graphite cast iron has positioned BEHRINGER in the premium class of German and European foundries.
Installation of a PV system
With the installation of a photovoltaic system on the roofs of the foundry and the model making hall, we can now cover part of our energy requirements ourselves.
