Plastic Cooling Systems
Plastic cooling systems are used to control the temperature of the material injected during the plastic injection process.
Plastic cooling systems are used to control the temperature of the material during the molding process of plastic injection machines. These systems typically use cooling fluids such as cooling water or cooling oil. The cooling water or oil circulates around the plastic injection molds, reducing the temperature of the molten plastic material and allowing it to take the desired shape.
Plastic cooling systems are important to increase the efficiency of the injection molding process and optimize production processes. A proper cooling system can enhance production efficiency by making the molding process faster and more consistent. Additionally, it can improve material quality and product tolerances.
Plastic cooling systems are commonly used in industrial plastic injection processes and are considered an important component for plastic part production. The design and usage of these systems can impact the success of plastic injection processes and reduce production costs.
Selection information for your project
Chiller selection for plastic injection moulding starts with the heat removed from the mould and the cooled machine circuits. Machine nameplate electrical power alone is not the cooling load. Define temperature, flow and pressure requirements separately for mould and oil cooling circuits.
Pre-quotation checklist
- Machine count, material, shot mass and cycle time
- Entering/leaving temperatures and measured flow for each circuit
- Role and connections of the mould temperature controller
- Simultaneous operation, pipe pressure losses and water quality
Frequently asked questions
Does colder water always shorten the cycle?
No. Mould temperature, material and part quality must be evaluated together. Excessively cold water may cause condensation or unstable processing. Use the process temperature requirement.
Can I select a chiller from the machine kW rating?
Not on its own. Use the measured water-side heat load and the machine manufacturer’s cooling requirements.
