Improve your leather process with Buckman Beamhouse & Tanyard Systems (BBTS)
Buckman’s comprehensive beamhouse and tanyard processing technologies can save time, eliminate bottlenecks, boost yield and reduce inconsistency resulting in lower production costs and increased profitability. After all, leather is made in the beamhouse.
Manufacturing leather requires a delicate balance of operational cost, sustainability performance and innovation to meet the needs of your customers. Non-leather competitive products continue to grow in significance, margins are tight in the raw to tanned production segment, and justifying production / process changes may feel difficult. However, it is exactly for these reasons that every opportunity should be taken to make those improvements which matter most to your customers, the environment and your own organization’s profitability.
One key macrotrend is the move towards sustainability performance with a focus on reducing energy use, water use and waste while increasing focus on chemical performance and compliance to market requirements. Beamhouse processes are a critical part of the overall leather manufacturing performance, and your choice of chemicals and their application play an important role in more efficient and sustainable processing.
Buckman offers solutions to help you achieve advanced leather quality at reduced operational cost and with sustainability improvements in the production of wet blue, wet white and vegetable tanned leather:
