Cooler and stacker system.

This combined cooling and stacking system is said to accurately process at high-speed unvulcanized rubber strips and sheets of different viscosity, size and shape, all in one single machine. The cooler/stacker thus completely eliminates the need for two or more different types of stackers in a rubber batch-off system, according to the manufacturer. It is also said to eliminate costly and time-consuming manual control of the batch-off operation. The cantilever cooling system has been designed to meet growing industry demand for a machine that can process small rubber strips, as well as endless sheet. The modular design with anti-tack dip tank, and carousel cooling and drying festoon rack, can be flexibly adapted to specific cooling requirements. The cantilevered cooler can be supplied with up to 40 ventilators. No other type of cooler on the market today is able to cool and dry a strip of rubber compound more effectively within a restricted floor space, according to the company. The company's Multi High Density (MHD) III stacker (patented) is said to have revolutionized the stacking of unvulcanized rubber strips and sheets. It can be supplied with accurate, high speed stacking options for different shapes, sizes and viscosity in rubber strips for applications such as extruders, strainers and injection molding machines. An optional active correction system automatically adjusts for even slight deviations. (VMI Americas)
