New spacer bending machine
24th March 2015

MAGDEN LTD, a supplier and distributor of SWISSPACER warm edge spacer bars, has added new automatic eco brand machines to its range.

The ‘ecomac eco spacerbend’ is an automatic bending machine for Swisspacer warm edge spacer bars and aluminium bars that can produce a wide range of shapes. With Siemens PLC system touch screens and a Panasonic CNC servo controller, it can be used with four different dimensions of spacer.

An automatic desiccant dispensing machine, the ‘ecomac eco automatic-spacerfill’, is also available. It is designed to automatically fill spacer frames of different forms and sizes with desiccant. The two automatic machines can be used together to produce spacer frames with reliable quantities of desiccant quickly and cost effectively.

Magden Commercial Manager Jim Smith said: “Swisspacer has the same external dimensions as traditional aluminium spacer bars so sealed unit makers can use the bar ‘out of the box’ with cut and corner keys on existing machinery or by hand. Now sealed unit makers have another option.

“The new ecomac machines are far less expensive than other machines, making them ideal for smaller manufacturers looking to speed up production time. Used with SWISSPACER it means the best warm edge technology is available to all rather than just to the largest manufacturers.”
