Product catalog summary
Company Overview and History
Ehcolo was founded in 1987, initially focusing on developing automatic ship container loaders for bags without pallets. Over time, the company simplified these systems to make them more affordable and effective. In 1989, Ehcolo introduced its first automatic palletiser and has since expanded its product line to include 14 different models, including robot palletisers based on Yaskawa robots. The company has also developed a unique touchscreen interface for ease of use. Recent innovations include three models of empty bag bundle palletisers and a new hood stretcher introduced in 2020.

Technological Advancements
Since 2009, Ehcolo has integrated servo controllers with SEW asynchronous motors to enhance energy efficiency, accuracy, and capacity. By 2016, all motors were upgraded to servo-controlled systems, eliminating direct start motors. This upgrade allows compatibility with various electrical grids without modification. The company has also enhanced its HMI with a larger, more user-friendly touchscreen and introduced an RFID login system to improve security and accountability.

Remote Monitoring and Data Communication
Ehcolo's machines can be monitored and controlled remotely via the Internet, allowing for diagnostics and software updates. The systems are IoT-ready and compliant with Industry 4.0 standards, featuring an OPC-UA server for advanced data communication.

Energy Efficiency Initiatives
Ehcolo is committed to reducing its carbon footprint by continuously improving the energy efficiency of its machines. Innovations include Teflon-coated surfaces, low friction ball bearings, and the use of electric actuators instead of air cylinders. The company employs SEW servo motors and the AcoposMulti servo control system to minimize energy consumption and extend the mechanical lifetime of its machines.

Quality and Reliability
Ehcolo prioritizes quality by using top-tier components from reputable suppliers like SEW, B&R Automation, FESTO, and SICK. The company maintains a strong financial position and is committed to providing high-quality service and support, with a focus on long-term customer satisfaction.

Conclusion
Ehcolo is a privately owned company with a strong emphasis on innovation, quality, and customer service. The company is financially robust and flexible, capable of meeting diverse customer requirements while maintaining a leading position in hardware, software, and service.

Portfolio, short history and advantages. Ehcolo was founded in 1987, and the first machines developed and manufactured was automatic ship container loaders for bags without pallets, first machines were quite complicated but effective, since we have developed some simpler container bag loading systems, which is affordable for everybody, and also very effective. In 1989 we developed and manufactured the first automatic palletiser, and since then we have developed many different sizes and models of palletisers, today we can offer 14 different models for different capacities and products, + we can offer also robot palletisers based on Yaskawa robot, where we then manufacture all other equipment as grippers, conveyors etc., + we have developed a unique touchscreen interface with pattern set-up, which makes it extremely easy for operators. As a proof of our superior machine design, we have also developed the last years 3 different models of empty bag bundle palletisers, which are triple the size of our standard bag palletiser, capacity of to 2400 bundles per hour, the highest on the market. And last not least, we have last year 2020 developed a new unique hood stretcher, have already sold a few of these. They will in many instances be part of our many to be supplied turnkey packing lines, of which we have supplied many of in the last 10 years, inclusive supplied bagging machines from our yearlong partners. We have references all over the world in all industries. We focus on the quality, so that maintenance costs are close to 0 and most important hardly any downtime. See more on our website www.ehcolo.com. Servomotors We have since 2009 been using servo controllers together with standard SEW asynchronous motors, And to get other benefits, like the best energy efficiency, soft stop and start, extremely accuracy and max capacity, we have also converted to genuine SEW servomotors on all axis for positioning. All positioning servo motors are equipped with absolute encoders, which counts also, when there is power break down, means restart without the need of emptying palletiser. Motors with direct start disappears From 2016, all previous directly started motors has been variable speed controlled. Advantage, less wear and tear due to smooth start and stop of all machine parts also pallet roller conveyors. All motors are now servo controlled. Main items all with genuine servo geared motors, but also normal AC motors are servo controlled. No units running with direct start. Another advantage with this upgrade, is that our machines now standardly fit all electrical grids. From 3x220V to 3x500V without any modification at all.

Color touch Screen We have changed our 15” HMI into a new 18,5” widescreen panel. Reasons, besides general overall technical development are several. Better performance, in terms of better screen resolution, faster handling of graphics and greater user-friendliness due to larger display is some of the reasons. Very few texts, instead easy for all understandable icons. RFID login Alongside the screen update we have updated our password system with an RFID reader. Together with the reader there will be delivered 2 pieces of RFID tags for each user level. The system has been made after several customer...

LOW ENERGY PALLETISING Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time. Addressing it requires a transition to a low‐carbon economy. And, as stated in the Paris Agreement on climate change, business has a key role to play. EHCOLO´s ambition is to proactively implement technology, based on the latest innovations, to achieve the lowest possible carbon footprint for our equipment. We will continuously be developing, as new solutions and technologies emerge. One thing is manufacturing the equipment in EHCOLO´s factory with focus on carbon emissions. Another thing is the total carbon...

QUALITY. We use the best parts available on the market and our construction is so, that you will not see our machines wave in the wind. , . Gears with servo motors and normal geared motors. We only use SEW motors and we are not used to any breakdown of any SEW parts, but should unlikely something happens in the future, the parts are always available locally. All motors are servo controlled, absolutely not normal, and has some costs also, but all items have soft start and stop, this extends life time many times, which then reduce costs the other way. Servo control soft PLC and electronic control...
