Although a large number of converters are sufficiently familiar with the fact that the "mold temperature" influences not only the cooling time but also the quality of the molded part, they do not realize that this means the mold wall temperature, i.e. the temperature profile over the entire surface area of a part that has just been produced, rather than the temperature value that is shown on the displays of the heating/ cooling unit.

Objective: Energetic concept
from 04.09.2009
Who has ever visited the Centre of automotive lighting GmbH situated in Reutlingen, knows that headlamps must meet increasing visual and geometrical demands. Especially in the premium area the crossbar for capping discs on the aesthetic demands is high. For the headlamp of new Audi sports car R8, AL has developed a special manufacturing concept for the production of Polycarbonate cover discs in two components technology.
As a system supplier Automotive Lighting relies on the gwk company from Kierspe for temperature control and cooling.
Ever-increasing energy costs represent a growing problem in the global competitive environment for all plastic-processors. Therefore, a growing number of processors rightfully pay more attention to the cooling and temperature control procedures which are used in their company and critically screened them for their energy efficiency. If you want to optimally exploit energy savings potential, this can only be achieved by a holistic view at the process.
KMO 2008 serves as a basis for intensive customer care
from 15.06.2008
The KMO was again a good opportunity for the gwk, as a specialist for cooling and temperature control, to successfully explain the know-how and the resulting competitive advantages when using gwk technologies.
With satisfaction the gwk Gesellschaft Wärme Kältetechnik mbH from Kierspe sums up their exhibition on the Swiss plastics in Lucerne. With 3,700 visitors and 180 exhibitors the expectations on the fair premiere on Swiss soil were exceeded.
Driven by the increasing demands of ambitious injection mould users, the successful model integrat 40, where up to six completely independently operated temperature control circuits can be integrated space-saving into production cells, was further perfected.
Everything depends on the right temperature control
from 04.01.2008
The President of VDWF spoke with the CEOs of gwk, Mr. Ingo Brexeler and Mr. Helmut Gries, about the opportunities and potentials of correct temperature control of moulds.
General purpose boiling thermostats VACUTHERM are applicable
from 02.01.2007
The necessary heat source to investigate fluid procedural processes in the chemical process development is often realized by boiling thermostats. So far, the very good performance profile of the boiling thermostats was opposed by their extensive assembly. Press release, pdf. (german)
