Cost Factor Corrosion
from 20.04.2010
Although a large number of processors 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
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. PDF (german)
Supplier of complete systems for cooling and temperature control
