The EcoCMat system combines the latest wash technology with a flexible storage and retrieval cell to clean and dry work pieces in baskets without manual stacking and de-stacking, and without the floor-space requirements of traditional solutions.

The cleaning system
The treatment and supply modules integrate cleanly with the storage and retrieval cell by simply hooking in on the side. The basic model of the Ecomat 600 consists of one treatment module that provides injection flood washing, spray cleaning, blow-off and vacuum drying in sequence. Up to three treatment modules can be integrated in each cell.

The storage and organization system
Wire baskets, supplied with the EcoCMat 600, are stacked onto a wheeled transport cart and docked on a mounting plate in one of the three load/unload chambers. The EcoCMat 600 automatically de-stacks the part baskets, cleans the parts, then cleans the transport cart and mounting plate before re-stacking part baskets onto a cleaned transport cart to exit the machine. The intelligent production management system handles the internal logistics of the part baskets ensuring transparent process organization.

Production and application advantages of the Ecomat:

• Cleaning system and Automation from a single source
• Space-saving combination - approximately 60 % smaller footprint compared to conventional solutions
• Parts traceability possible at any time
• Cell contents can be inspected at any time on the control panel
• Automatic management of work piece stocks and variants
• Modular design - the system can be extended at any time to cater for different types of production
• Central loading and unloading position for the operator
