How does it work?


The ECO extrudes the prepared compound using a hydraulically powered ram. The rate of the extrusion is monitored by a digital flow valve and this permits the operator to select precisely the rate at which the rubber is extruded. An inverter controlled variable speed cutter (preformers only) is located on the head of the machine and the extrudate is cut at the die face so variations in die swell do not affect the volumetric accuracy of the preforms. Note: A preformer offers all the benefits of an extruderbut is also supplied with a high specification cuttingmodule unit. It is a proven technology adopted by hundreds of rubber companies around the world.
