Curved VibraCool Ideal for most general rubber applications including small to medium size solid preforms, pellets and strips. It cools using water and air. A variable speed controller allows larger items to travel at reduced speed for extra cooling. Not suitable for small thin preforms as they can stick to the smooth internal flight surface (use a Flat Corrugated VibraCool). Does not facilitate chilled air cooling.

Bowl VibraCool Supplied with an extra-large capacity fluid reservoir that assists in the cooling and separation of larger preforms e.g. shoe soles, engine mounts and others that need additional cooling. It can also be used for most general applications. Mounted to a robust wheeled frame making it easy to move in the factory.

Flat (Corrugated) VibraCool Designed with flat corrugated flights so that the amount of fusion between small pellets or blanks and the surface is significantly reduced to avoid rubber to flight surface sticking. Recommended specifically for ‘O’ ring production but is also effective for small to medium size solids, NS pellets, strip/cord extrusion. Also suitable for chilled air cooling as it is surrounded by a polycarbonate cover. A variable speed controller facilitates the slowing of the cooling process for larger items.

Hot rubber parts feed into the VibraCool (which acts as a spiral elevator) enabling rubber parts to travel over 40m in distance –upwards rather than in a straight line – using perpetual vibratory motion.

The cooling process can be enhanced by the spraying of water or the blasting of air. The rubber parts then leave via a top exit chute into storage containers or to a subsequent production process.

Improves product quality and reduces rejects
Perpetual vibrational motion prevents parts from sticking together, helping to enhance product quality and significantly reduce rejects.

Risk is also minimised through targeted spraying of water onto the hot rubber throughout the cycle to aid the cooling process. The use of air jets can also be used to reduce the surface temperature of the rubber and increase drying speed.

When water cannot be used, a chiller unit is available to blow very cold air onto the rubber parts for rapid and effective cooling.

Saves factory space and maximizes production
A compact design means that hot rubber parts are transported over a distance of 40m in only a 1m² (approx.) footprint saving valuable factory floor space.

Its features speed up the production process, as drying and cooling time are significantly reduced compared to other conveyor systems.

Ease of operation and reduced downtime
The simple design provides easy installation, operation and maintenance. Its robust construction and simplicity keep potential downtime to a minimum.

• Small, medium, and large solid blanks and preforms
• Pellets
• Strip extrusions
• Cord extrusions

For lower quantity or less intense requirements, the Water Conveyor is also ideal for the cooling, drying and separation of hot rubber preforms and blanks as they exit a Barwell Preformer.

• Ideal for small to medium size technical products
• Suitable for use with all Barwell Preformer machines
• Sits either directly under the Preformer head or after the head conveyor
• Variable speed with manual adjustment
• Water used for cooling is removed by a series of air knives and is kept cool via a heat charger supplied with chilled water
• Can be used in conjunction with a Barwell VibraCool if additional cooling or drying is needed
• Length: 1600mm (can vary) Width: 620mm Height: 475mm
