  • Essential Precautions and Pro Tips for Mold Temperature Controllers Nov 27, 2021
    During the installation of the mould temperature controller, great care must be taken to avoid any damage to the unit. Adequate space around the mould temperature controller should be allocated in a rational manner to ensure convenient access for its maintenance and servicing. The cooling water system ought to be meticulously designed and installed in strict accordance with the national standard piping system design and construction installation criteria, thereby maximizing the performance of the mold temperature controller.   1. Water Mold Temperature Controllers The heat transfer medium for the water mold temperature controller must be a pristine water source, free from sand, soil, or other contaminants. If groundwater is utilized, it should be softened. The circulating water should be replaced on a regular monthly basis. Water with impurities can readily clog the pipelines and inflict damage on the machine. Unsoftened water is prone to scale formation, which severely impairs the heating and heat transfer efficiencies and diminishes the service life of the heating tubes.   2. Oil Mold Temperature Controllers Prior to operation, it is essential to employ high quality, clean, and heat transfer oil of a unified brand. Brands such as Mobil, Esso, and Total are recommended. The use of inferior heat transfer oil can lead to heater fouling and burnout, pump impeller wear, and a reduction in flow rate, consequently shortening the normal service life of the equipment. The oil mold temperature controller machine should not be moved casually while it is in operation. If the mold temperature controller requires repair, the oil temperature must be lowered to below 80℃ (176℉)  before any repair work can commence. The potential causes of motor overload include power phase loss, pipe blockage, and bearing damage. When the motor is overloaded, the motor overload relay will automatically trip and halt the machine to safeguard the motor. The alarm can be cleared by pressing the "Reset (green button)" switch on the overload relay. Before shutting down the pump, it is necessary to wait until the oil temperature has dropped below 80℃ (176℉)  ; otherwise, its service life will be adversely affected. To achieve a stable control temperature, the cooling water pressure should be maintained within the range of 1 - 3 kg/cm².     In conclusion, correct installation, proper heat transfer medium management, and strict adherence to operational guidelines are vital for the performance and durability of water and oil temperature controllers. Following these instructions and precautions ensures reliable operation, reduces malfunctions, and boosts productivity. Regular maintenance and performance monitoring enhance efficient and sustainable use, protecting the investment in Hengde mold temperature controllers.   Choose Hengde, Choose Perfect Mold Temperature Controller!

  • How to Debug a Oil Type Mold Temperature Controller? Jun 19, 2025
    Hengde Company, a renowned name in the industrial temperature control realm, has been committed to providing high quality mold temperature controllers for years. Our products are widely applied across various industries, characterized by their reliability, precision, and advanced technology. With a professional R & D team and excellent after - sales service, we ensure that every customer can make the most of our mold temperature controllers. Now, let's explore the professional debugging process of our mold temperature controllers.   Debugging Steps of the Oil Type Mold Temperature Controller 1. Preparation Before commencing the debugging, ensure the availability of a stable power supply and high quality thermal oil.    2. Power Connection Push the air switch and then turn on the power button. In case the air switch fails to be pushed up, check if the emergency stop button on the controller panel is pressed. If so, rotate the emergency stop button to its normal position. After turning on the power button, if the oil type mold temperature controller alarms, it is likely due to a phase - reversal issue. Immediately turn off the power supply and swap any two of the three incoming power lines. Once the phase - reversal problem is resolved, the controller can start normally.   3. Oil Filling After starting the machine, the oil mold temperature machine will trigger an oil shortage alarm. Gradually add thermal oil, until the entire pipeline is filled with oil and the oil shortage alarm in the oil tank ceases. Be cautious not to over fill the oil tank. As the oil heats up, the tank will release gas. Excessive oil may cause the gas to force the oil out of the tank. After oil filling, carefully inspect all pipelines of the oil mold temperature machine for any oil leaks. Once the pressure shown on the pressure gauge of the oil temperature machine stabilizes, the heating process can be initiated.   4. Heating Set the temperature on the controller for heating. Initially, set the temperature to 90℃ and closely monitor the stability of the pressure gauge. If the pressure gauge remains stable, it is safe to directly set the temperature to the required operating temperature.     Precautions Prior to starting the machine, always double - check whether the emergency stop button on the oil mold temperature controller panel is in the released state. A pressed emergency stop button will prevent the air switch from being closed. During the heating process, if there is a significant difference between the oil outlet temperature and the oil return temperature, with the oil outlet temperature rising rapidly, it is highly likely that the filter is blocked. Before further heating, remove and clean the filter to ensure normal oil circulation. If the oil mold temperature controller alarms for oil - shortage or lack of media, it may be caused by poor contact of the liquid level sensor (the cylindrical tube adjacent to the oil tank). Usually, a slight adjustment of the sensor can solve this problem. If the liquid level alarm function is not required, simply unplug the wire above the sensor.   After the debugging process is completed, it is crucial to record all the debugging parameters and the operating status of the mold temperature controller accurately. Compile these records into a detailed debugging report. Once the oil mold temperature controller is put into formal operation, regular maintenance and inspections should be carried out at fixed intervals. This ensures that the controller always operates in an optimal condition, providing reliable temperature control for your production processes.   At Hengde Company, we not only offer top - tier mold temperature controllers but also comprehensive support throughout the product lifecycle. Our professional team is always ready to assist you, ensuring that your investment in our products brings long - term benefits and efficient production.   Choose Hengde,Choose Perfect Mold Temperature Controller!

  • Oil vs. Water Mold Temperature Controller Machine for Rubber Injection Molding Jul 28, 2025
    Hengde Company, a renowned enterprise in the industrial temperature control field, has been committed to the research, development, and production of high performance mold temperature controller equipment. Our products, including both water mold temperature controller machines and oil mold temperature controller machines, have been widely used in various plastic and rubber processing industries, providing reliable temperature control solutions for our customers. When it comes to the rubber injection molding process, the choice between an oil mold temperature controller machine and a water mold temperature controller machine is a common concern. In fact, both oil mold temperature controller machines and water mold temperature controller machines belong to the category of mold temperature machines, and the fundamental difference between them lies in the heat transfer media they use. Water mold temperature controller machines use water, while oil mold temperature controller machines use heat conducting oil. In the rubber injection molding process, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which equipment to use mainly depends on specific production requirements and conditions.   1.Operating Temperature Oil mold temperature controller machine: Oil mold temperature controller machines can provide a much higher operating temperature, usually reaching 300℃, 350℃ or even higher. For some rubber materials that require high temperature injection molding, such as certain special type rubbers, oil mold temperature controller machines can meet their processing temperature requirements. This ensures that the rubber materials are fully melted, achieving good fluidity, which is convenient for filling the mold cavity and thus obtaining high quality rubber products.   Water mold temperature controller machine: The operating temperature of water mold temperature controller machines is generally below 180℃. If the temperature required for the rubber injection molding process is within this range, water mold temperature controller machines can be applied. For the injection molding of ordinary rubber materials, water mold temperature controller machines can provide stable temperature control to ensure product quality.   For example, a customer's PP material has a molding temperature range of 160℃ - 220℃, and the mold temperature needs to be kept constant within this range during the molding process.Since the heating range exceeds 180℃, a water mold temperature controller machine is unsuitable. An oil mold temperature controller machine is recommended.   2.Heat Transfer Efficiency Oil mold temperature controller Machine: The specific heat capacity of oil is relatively smaller than that of water. However, at high temperatures, the heat transfer performance of oil is stable, and it will not generate a large amount of steam like water at high temperatures, which could lead to pressure problems. In injection molding processes that require rapid heating or cooling, oil mold temperature controller machines can transfer heat to the mold more quickly, improving production efficiency.   Water mold temperature controller machine: Water has a large specific heat capacity. Under the same temperature change, it can absorb or release more heat. In injection molding processes with a small temperature variation range, water mold temperature controller machines can utilize this characteristic to control the mold temperature more stably, with relatively small temperature fluctuations.   3.Safety Oil mold temperature controller machine: Oil is a flammable substance. When using an oil mold temperature controller machine, fire prevention measures need to be taken. Open flames should be avoided around the equipment, and corresponding fire extinguishing equipment should be equipped. At the same time, the sealing requirements of oil mold temperature controller machines are relatively high to prevent oil leakage from triggering safety accidents.   Water mold temperature controller machine: Water is non flammable. Compared with oil - temperature machines, water mold temperature controller machines are safer. In some production environments with strict fire prevention requirements, water mold temperature controller machines are a more suitable choice.   4.Cost Oil mold temperature controller machine: The price of oil is relatively high, and it needs to be replaced after a period of use, increasing the operating cost. In addition, the maintenance cost of oil temperature machines is also relatively high. The heating system, circulation system, and other components need to be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.   Water mold temperature controller machine: Water is low cost and easily accessible. The maintenance of water mold temperature controller machines is relatively simple, mainly inspecting and maintaining components such as pipelines and water pumps, and the operating cost is low.   In summary, if the rubber injection molding process requires high temperatures, has requirements for heating speed, and can meet the safe use conditions of oil temperature machines, then an oil mold temperature controller machine may be more suitable. Because heat conducting oil is used as the heat transfer medium, it has excellent thermal stability, and the temperature control range is from room temperature to 400℃, which can meet the heating needs of various high temperature materials. If the molding temperature is within the operating temperature range of a water mold temperature controller machine, and there are strict cost  control requirements while pursuing high safety, a water mold temperature controller machine is a better choice. Because the temperature control range of a water mold temperature controller machine is from room temperature to 180℃, and it uses clean water resources as the heat transfer medium, which is clean, environmentally friendly, and pollution free. Coupled with the excellent heat conduction performance of water, it can heat the mold very quickly. Equipped with a PID ± 1℃ intelligent temperature controller, it can fully meet the requirements of the injection molding process.     In actual injection molding process production, since the heat required temperature of most injection molding materials is below 180℃, many manufacturers choose to use water mold temperature controller machines as auxiliary temperature control equipment for the injection molding process, and relatively fewer use oil mold temperature controller machines. Overall, whether to choose an oil mold temperature controller machine or a water mold temperature controller machine should be compared according to the actual situation. Hengde Company always provides professional advice and high quality products to help customers make the most suitable choice for their production processes.   Choose Hengde, Choose Perfect Mold Temperature Controller!
