Cooling and mould temperature control solutions
Frigel – hall A5 booth 5123
Frigel Group will be presenting their latest process cooling solutions, designed for various industry sectors. A new temperature control unit for injection moulding is the Microgel Syncro. The technology is claimed to provide a reduction in cycle time of up to 40%, while maintaining the surface quality, dimensional characteristics and mechanical performance of the finished product. The reduction of the total cycle time is obtained thanks to the reduction of the cooling time only: this result, achieved through the digital synchronisation with the moulding machine, has the advantage of not requiring modifications of the other moulding parameters. Frigel is also exhibiting its Adiabatic product family line, introducing the Ecodry MDK range, designed for flexible configuration of modular adiabatic solutions for small to large plastic factories.
Industry 4.0 control platform
The Netgel 3PR 4.0 product platform is a specialised solution for controlling central cooling systems. It allows processors to oversee and manage the entire cooling system from a single control point. This platform offers two versions, Lite and Premium, catering to different system sizes and equipment requirements.
Frigel has also introduced MiND 2.0, a digital solution that aligns with Industry 4.0 and IIOT standards. MiND 2.0 offers supervision and maintenance tools for all Frigel equipment and accessories, both central and machine-side. Users can monitor and manage various parameters and events, track performance, and monitor energy consumption remotely via a user-friendly webpage.
Single and dual zone TCUs
Frigel has also introduced advances in its direct injection pressurised water TCUs up to 120 °C. The TDK units are claimed to be adaptable to any moulding condition and are equipped with features and safeties to operate over the entire temperature range.
The unique single zone (RSM) and dual zone (RSD) machine-side temperature control units Microgel RS for injection moulding are designed for moulding throughputs ranging from 10 to 240 kg/h. The Microgel RS range includes important advances in temperature accuracy over the entire control range (-5 to 90 °C), functionalities, pumping performance and energy efficiency. The RS range features additional configurations specifically designed for packaging (RSP) and extrusion (RSB).
