In the injection molding process, control of the plastic melting temperature and flow rate is crucial for forming the required shape of the mold. At this time, Xiecheng 's mold temperature controller (also known as temperature control, constant temperature controller, mould temperature control unit, heating controller, water temperature heating controller, oil temperature controller, etc.) can play an important role. It can control the temperature of the mold, provide precise temperature control, and ensure that the plastic material is uniformly heated in every injection molding cycle. In addition, the mold temperature controller can shorten the molding cycle, improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve the quality of the molded product.



1. The Principle of a Mold Temperature Controller.


The components of a mold temperature controller.

The mold temperature controller consists of a water tank/oil tank, a heating and cooling system, a power transmission system, a liquid level control system, and devices such as temperature sensors and injection ports.


The working principle of a mold temperature controller.

In general, the pump in the power transmission system transports the hot fluid from the water tank with built-in heaters and coolers to the mold, and then back to the water tank from the mold. The temperature sensor measures the temperature of the hot fluid and sends the data to the controller in the control section. The controller adjusts the temperature of the hot fluid, indirectly regulating the temperature of the mold. During production, if the temperature of the mold exceeds the set value of the controller, the controller will open the solenoid valve to connect the inlet pipe until the temperature of the hot fluid, i.e., the temperature of the mold, returns to the set value. If the mold temperature is below the set value, the controller will turn on the heater.


The function of a mold temperature controller.

•  Improving the molding efficiency of the product

•  Reducing the production of defective products

•  Improving the appearance of the product and suppressing product defects

•  Increasing production speed, reducing energy consumption, and saving energy.

2. The Advantages and Applications of Mold Temperature Controllers in Injection Molding.


The advantages of mold temperature controllers in injection molding.

•  Stability: The mold temperature controller adopts advanced temperature control technology, which can maintain the stability of the mold temperature and effectively avoid product defects caused by temperature fluctuations, thus improving the product qualification rate.

•  Accuracy: The mold temperature controller has high temperature control accuracy, which can meet the requirements of high-precision injection molding. At the same time, the temperature control accuracy of the mold temperature controller can also improve the production efficiency of injection molding.

•  Control range: The mold temperature controller can accurately control the temperature range of the mold, thereby adapting to different materials and production requirements, and achieving controllability and stability of the production process.


The applications of mold temperature controllers in injection molding.


The application of mold temperature controller in injection molding is very extensive. Here are several examples:

•  Injection molding of electronic product housings: Electronic product housings require highly precise molding. Using mold temperature controller can make the temperature of the mold more stable, so as to control the flowability and solidification speed of the material during injection molding.

•  Injection molding of automotive parts: Automotive parts require the use of high-performance plastic materials that can withstand high temperatures and pressures. Using mold temperature controller can control the temperature of the mold, so that the plastic material can achieve optimal performance during the molding process.

•  Injection molding of medical devices: Medical devices require high precision and reliability. Using mold temperature controller can make the temperature of the mold more stable, thereby controlling the subtle changes during the molding process to ensure the quality of the final product.

·  Injection molding of household appliance parts: Household appliance parts require the use of high-performance plastic materials that can withstand high temperatures and pressures. Using mold temperature controller can control the temperature of the mold, so that the plastic material can achieve optimal performance during the molding process.


3. Selection and Use of Mold Temperature Controllers.


How to choose a mold temperature controller that is suitable for your own business.

When selecting a mold temperature controller, it is important to choose equipment that is suitable for the production needs and scale of the enterprise. Factors to consider include the production environment, mold size, production materials, production volume, and required temperature control accuracy.


How to use mold temperature controllers correctly.

When using a mold temperature controller, it is important to follow the operating procedures outlined in the instruction manual to ensure correct installation and connection. When heating or cooling the mold, it is necessary to gradually adjust the temperature to avoid rapid temperature changes that can cause thermal stress. During production, it is important to regularly check the working status of the mold temperature controller to ensure that it is functioning properly.
