For a water mold temperature controller (MTC), cooling-related failures—such as solenoid valve blockage or insufficient water pressure—are more common. For an oil mold temperature controller (MTC), high-temperature components such as thermal oil, coils, and heating tubes require more frequent inspection. Regular cleaning, checking of electrical connections, and monitoring temperature accuracy can effectively prevent most failures. How to Prevent Mold Temperature Controller Problems Here are some effective preventive methods to keep your mold temperature controller (MTC) running smoothly: 1. Maintain stable cooling water pressure Especially important for water mold temperature controllers (MTCs), as insufficient flow will cause overheating. 2. Use high-quality thermal oil For oil mold temperature controllers (MTCs), poor-quality thermal oil can carbonize, leading to blocked pipelines and heater damage. 3. Clean heat exchangers and pipelines regularly Scale buildup reduces heat-transfer efficiency and may trigger overheating alarms. 4. Check electrical components Loose wiring, aging relays, or unstable voltage can cause frequent restarts, alarms, or shutdowns. 5. Ensure correct set temperatures Incorrect setpoints can make the controller continuously heat or cool, increasing wear and error rates. Conclusion A mold temperature controller(MTC) is a key device for precise temperature management. By understanding and addressing these common faults and their corresponding solutions, users can ensure the smooth and efficient operation of mold temperature controllers (MTCs), maximizing their productivity and minimizing downtime.    Whether you are using a water mold temperature controller (MTC) or an oil mold temperature controller (MTC), proper maintenance and timely troubleshooting will significantly improve performance.   If you need support or want a customized temperature control solution, our technical team is ready to help (www.hengdechiller.com).    Choose Hengde, Choose Perfect Mold Temperature Controller!

In the field of composite mold die casting, which is full of challenges and opportunities, Hengde has provided key mold temperature controller products to many companies with its outstanding technical strength and rich industry experience, helping companies improve production efficiency and product quality.   The head of a well-known aerospace parts production company that has cooperated with us for many years gave feedback: "Before using Hengde composite material compression molding temperature controller, we often had quality problems such as bubbles and uneven strength in the products during filament winding and compression molding processes due to unstable temperature control, and the scrap rate remained high. Since the introduction of Hengde temperature controller, these problems have been solved. Its temperature control accuracy is extremely high, and it can be accurately regulated according to the temperature curve we set, which greatly improves the quality stability of the product. Moreover, its efficient heating and cooling system has shortened our production cycle by nearly 30% and significantly reduced production costs. Hengde temperature controller is really a powerful assistant for us to improve production efficiency!"   The following are common and key application scenarios of mold temperature controllers in composite material molding processes: 1. Filament winding: In the filament winding molding process, the fiber is first fully impregnated with resin through the resin glue tank, and then wound on the continuously rotating core mold according to a carefully designed rule. After winding, the glue needs to be heated to solidify and mold. In this process, Hengde mold temperature controller can accurately control the heating temperature to ensure that the glue is uniformly cured under suitable temperature conditions, thereby improving the strength and stability of the winding products and meeting the stringent requirements of high-end fields such as aerospace for material performance.   2. Pultrusion: For the pultrusion process, the carbon fiber roving or its fabric is pulled by external force and goes through the steps of dipping, extrusion molding, heating and curing, and fixed-length cutting in sequence. Hengde composite material mold temperature controller plays a key role in the heating mold link. Through precise temperature control, it can significantly speed up the curing time, greatly improve production efficiency while ensuring product quality, and meet the needs of large-scale production in industries such as automobile manufacturing.   3. Resin transfer molding (RTM): In the resin transfer molding process, the reinforcement material is first made into a preform and placed in a closed mold, and then the resin is injected into the mold under the dual action of vacuum and pressure to cure it. Hengde mold temperature controller effectively speeds up the curing speed by accurately heating the mold, greatly improving production efficiency, and has been widely used in fields such as electronic equipment component manufacturing.   4. Compression molding: Compression molding is a process in which the molding material is placed in a metal mold and solidified under specific pressure and temperature conditions.

  • What is the Function of the Mold Temperature Controller? Sep 02, 2025
    Mold temperature controllers (MTCs) are essential pieces of equipment in industries such as plastics, rubber, die-casting, and injection molding. These devices are designed to regulate the temperature of molds during the manufacturing process, ensuring optimal product quality and production efficiency. The importance of maintaining the correct mold temperature cann't be overstated, as it directly impacts the precision and consistency of the final product.     Functionality of Mold Temperature Controllers Mold temperature controllers serve several key functions, all geared towards improving the efficiency of industrial molding processes:   1. Precise Temperature Control: The primary function of an MTC is to maintain a stable, uniform temperature in the mold. In the manufacturing processes such as injection molding, blow molding, and die - casting, the temperature of the mold has a significant impact on the performance of the production process and the quality of the final product. For example, in injection molding, if the mold temperature is too low, the plastic melt may cool down too quickly, resulting in uneven filling of the mold cavity, short shots, and poor surface quality of the product. On the contrary, if the mold temperature is too high, it may cause over - heating of the plastic, leading to material degradation, warping, and other defects. A mold temperature controller can accurately adjust the temperature, usually within a very small temperature deviation range (such as ±0.5°C or even smaller), ensuring that the mold temperature remains at the optimal value required by the production process.   2. Heating and Cooling: An MTC provides both heating and cooling functions. By regulating the temperature of the mold, it ensures that the material doesn't cool too quickly, preventing issues such as warping or cracks. On the other hand, it also prevents overheating, which can result in defects like flash or uneven surface quality.   3. Consistency and Quality: Mold temperature controllers help ensure consistent temperatures across the entire mold surface. This consistency reduces the likelihood of defects and variability, resulting in higher-quality products with fewer defects, which is critical in industries where precision is vital.   4. Energy Efficiency: Modern mold temperature controllers are designed to be energy-efficient, minimizing energy waste by adjusting the heat and cooling cycles in real-time. This contributes to lower operational costs while maintaining production speed and quality.   5. Faster Production Cycles: By keeping the mold temperature under control, MTCs help to speed up production cycles. A stable temperature reduces the need for constant adjustments, allowing for faster and more consistent output, which is a significant advantage in high-volume manufacturing environments.   6. Cost Reduction: By preventing common molding problems, such as warping or dimensional changes, mold temperature controllers help to reduce scrap and rework. This not only improves product quality but also cuts down on material costs and production downtime.   Why Choose Nanjing Hengde Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd?
