The barwell ECO range of high performance,low investment, energy and cost saving Ram Extrudersand Preformers are specifically designed for theaccurate and efficient processing of rubber andsynthetic polymer compounds across multiple industries.• A versatile and high quality processing systemensuring that most types of compound can beprocessed producing consistent and accurate product• An operator-friendly system that requires minimaluser training which increases production capability• An energy-saving method of production whichsignificantly reduces power consumptionIndustries and processes• Footwear• Sports and leisure• Automotive• Pharmaceutical• Construction• Agricultural• Ring and oil Seal• General rubber goods• Masterbatch• Extrusion profiling• Pelletizing• And many more including ceramics• A cost cutting solution which reduces factory space,material wastage and labour costs• Complete processing flexibility combining extrusion,cutting and check weighing all in one machine• A robust, safe and reliable system of processingenabling easy maintenanceECO 1barwell ECO OperationHow does the ECO work?The basic principle of the ECO range is to extrudethe prepared compound by means of a hydraulicallypowered ram, the rate of the extrusion is monitoredby a digital flow valve and this permits the operatorto select precisely the rate at which the rubber isextruded.An inverter controlled variable speed cutter (onPreformers) is located on the head of the machineand the extrudate is cut at the die face so variationsin die swell do not affect the volumetric accuracyof the preforms.ECO 5H PlusProcessing FlexibilityThe ECO range is capable of processing most typesof compound, including:• Silicone • NBR • FKM• CR • HNBR • ACM• EPDM • SBR • EVA
Why choose the barwell ECO?Ram extrusion and preforming is a proven technologyand adopted by hundreds of rubber factories throughoutthe world providing complete investment peaceof mind.Low investment with quick returnThe ECO range is ideally suited tocompanies requiring a low investmentwithout having to sacrifice quality, accuracy andproductivity. A very quick pay back is normally ensuredthrough material and labour savings alone.Highly accurate and consistent productionThe ECO range can produce consistent target blankweight with accuracy of up to +/- 1% by volume*.As well as reducing scrap rate, they allow processorsgreater ability to realise product development plans.Improved product quality and processing flexibilityPreforms are better profiled to fit the mould cavityand this helps to reduce flash and improve flow.Even three dimensional preforms can be produced.ECO has better tolerance to faster accelerators thanother methods, as there is not any heat build-upduring the extrusion process.The ECO has the capability to produce one-piecepreforms, preventing joint weaknesses. This isparticularly beneficial to manufacturers of ‘O’ rings.barwell ECO OptionsExtruder or Preformer?A Preformer offers all the benefits of an extruderbut is supplied with a high specification cuttingmodule unit.ECO machines also allow for simultaneous screening.During extrusion, with many compounds, meshescan be fitted to remove material contaminationor impurities.A cost cutting and sustainable methodDramatic savings can be achieved whencombining extruding, cutting and checkweighing all in one machine. Space andpower savings are significant as the ECOrange consumes a fraction of the powerand occupies only a small amount of floor spacewhen compared with alternative methods.With reduced labour and wastage costs (there are nooff-cuts or trimmings as with stamping methods) it iseasy to see why the ECO range is so attractive toprocessors.Ease of operation and reduced downtimeThe simple design of the ECO allows foreasy installation, operation andmaintenance, ensuring that the machineperforms to its full potential. Its robustconstruction and simplicity keeps potentialdowntime to a minimum meaningproduction is maintained.ECO-40ECO or ECO PLUS?The ECO PLUS is a premium model giving theprocessor greater flexibility for bespokerequirements, as well as, enhanced usability due tosimpler controls. Set-up is also quicker due to a2000 product database and an auto cycle option.It also provides faster operation.ECO H-seriesA high pressure option - ideal for use with toughmaterials or when high quality filtering is required.Shoe Sole (SH) HeadGeneral Purpose (GP) HeadCeramic ProfilesECO Powerpack HydraulicsECO Touch Screen
