PART.01
Plastics industry
Sub-segment: Injection Molding
Typical process steps: Mold temperature control.
Common temperature control equipment: Mold temperature control machine (water type/oil type).
Core requirements for temperature control: High precision (±0.5~1°C), high pressure (difficult to vaporize at high temperatures), rapid temperature rise and drop response.
Representative applications: LCD TV face shells, optical lenses, car bumpers, gears and other precision injection molding, require the use of high-temperature and high-pressure water-type or oil-type mold temperature machines.
Typical process steps: Cooling of hydraulic oil, Cooling of the feeding area of the barrel.
Common temperature control equipment: Chiller (air-cooled/water-cooled).
Core requirements of temperature control: Stable cooling capacity, energy saving. Representative application: Providing cooling for the hydraulic system of the injection molding machine and the barrel, commonly using air-cooled chiller.
Sub-segment: Extrusion Molding
Typical process steps: Temperature control of screw barrel is usually carried out Common temperature control equipment: Mold temperature machine (mainly oil type) and heat transfer oil furnace.
Core requirements for temperature control: High temperature (up to 400°C), uniform heating, good thermal stability.
Representative applications: Production of PVC pipes, sheets, and plates, which require a heat transfer oil furnace to provide a stable high-temperature heat source; Extrusion of precision medical tubes, where an oil-type mold temperature machine is used to precisely control the temperatures in each section.
Typical process steps: Stabilization table, cooling water tank.
Common temperature control equipment:Chiller (large cooling capacity water-cooled type).
Core requirements for temperature control: High cooling capacity, stable water temperature.
Representative application: Immediate cooling and stabilization of profiles and pipes after extrusion. Requires a large power chiller to provide chilled water.
Sub-segment: Blow Molding
Typical process steps: Mold temperature control (especially in the bottle blank injection section).
Common temperature control equipment: Mold temperature machine (water type).
Core requirements for temperature control: High temperature control accuracy, high heat exchange efficiency.
Representative application: PET bottle blank injection, using a high-temperature water-type mold temperature controller to ensure the transparency and quality of the bottle blank; Temperature control of hollow container blow molding molds.
Sub-segment: Extrusion Forming
Typical process steps: Roller heating.
Common temperature control equipment: Heat transfer oil furnaces (mainly), high-temperature mold temperature control machines.
Core requirements for temperature control: Ultra-high temperature (above 200°C), large-scale heating, uniform and stable temperature.
Representative applications: Extrusion of PVC flooring, leather products, rubber sheet materials. Through the circulating hot oil of the heat transfer oil furnace, it provides a uniform and stable high-temperature heat source for multiple large-sized rollers.
Sub-segment: Foaming Molding
Typical process steps: Mold heating and cooling (for EVA, PU, etc.)
Common temperature control equipment: Mold temperature control machine (oil type), chiller.
Core requirements for temperature control: Dual temperature and dual control (heating for foaming first, then cooling for shaping), wide temperature range.
Representative applications: EVA shoe soles, sports equipment foam, automotive interior foam. During production, the mold is heated with a high-temperature oil temperature machine to initiate foaming, and then cooled with a water cooler for shaping.
