Mould temperature control – the financial aspects
Just as with many processes, the manufacturing of plastic components is also influenced by financial factors. This means that efficiently functioning injection moulding machines, and tools which are designed to operate with optimal temperature control, are an important requirement of a cost-effective manufac- turing process.
The principal factor in terms of the cost-effectiveness of an injection moulding machine is how well and quickly the heat exchange takes place between the melt and the tool. However, in addition to the purely financial aspect of the shortest possible cycle time, consistent component quality also plays a very important role.
What is needed to achieve both – optimal quality coupled with a fast cycle – is even temperature distribution and control on the cavity wall and, consequently, optimal heat exchange.
 We reduce
• the cycle times by an average of 30%
• the parts costs by 15%
• the rejects to an absolute minimum
 We optimise
• the dimensional accuracy of the moulded part
• the surface quality
• mechanical characteristics
 We deliver
• Design, construction and manufacture of mould inserts with
• contour-parallel temperature control
• Design and construction of conventional temperature
• control
• Thermal-technical information using an infrared camera
• Thermic simulations
The technology
Short thermic conduction distances and an even distribution of the cooling channels in the mould are the aim of optimised mould temperature control. By using CONTURA®, heat management can be achieved in the mould which fully satisfies the requirements of plastics, i.e. processing which takes into account the characteristics of plastics. In contrast to conventional temperature control systems, the close-to-the-contours design of the cooling channels and the even distribution of the temperature at the mould surface make it possible to reduce the cooling time by up to 50%.
It is not possible to avoid such so-called hot spots with conventional drilling technology. Using CONTURA means that even, contour-following temperature distribution can be achieved at the surface of the cavity.
