Mold temperature controller(MTC), also known as mold temperature machine, was originally used in the temperature control industry of injection molds. Later, with the development of the machinery industry, mold temperature controllers were used more and more widely. Now mold temperature controllers are generally divided into water mold temperature controllers and oil mold temperature controllers. If the selected mold temperature controller matches the temperature requirements of product molding, it can greatly improve the quality of the product and reduce the operating cost of the product.   So how to choose a mold temperature controller that matches your process requirements? Before making a purchase, consider the following important factors to ensure your system fits your production needs. Selecting the Right Mold Temperature Controller Selecting the right mold temperature controller requires evaluating your process needs. Consider the heat transfer medium, cooling method, and the required temperature range for your application. Assess the mold size and heat capacity, pump flow and pressure, and the capabilities of the control system. Don’t forget safety features and balance the purchase cost versus operating cost. Addressing these factors ensures consistent mold temperature, reliable performance, and long-term efficiency. 1. Heat transfer medium: thermal oil / water. Water mold temperature controller: Water-type mold temperature controller uses water as a heat transfer medium and is suitable for occasions where the temperature control requirement does not exceed 200°C. Its advantages are high heat transfer efficiency, environmental friendliness, and relatively low cost. Oil mold temperature controller: Oil-type mold temperature controller uses oil as a heat transfer medium and is suitable for high-temperature occasions. The temperature control range can reach 350°C. Oil type mold temperature controllers are suitable for industries with high temperature control requirements, such as the hot pressing mold industry.   2. Cooling method: direct cooling / indirect cooling Direct cooling: Direct cooling is suitable for applications that require rapid cooling, such as certain plastic processing processes. This method can quickly reduce the temperature of the heat transfer medium and improve production efficiency. Indirect cooling: Indirect cooling uses a cooling circuit separated from the main circuit. It is suitable for applications that require more precise temperature control, such as precision mold processing. With an independent cooling circuit, temperature changes can be controlled more finely.   3. Temperature control range: low temperature application / high temperature application Low temperature application: Taking the plastics industry as an example, due to its relatively low temperature requirements, water mold temperature controllers(MTCs) can meet the requirements. The temperature control accuracy of water temperature controllers is roughly ±1℃, which is sufficient to meet the needs of most industrial application scenarios. High temperature application: In the case of high temperature applications, such as rubber pressing or metal casting, where high temperature control is required, oil mold temperature controllers(MTCs) are suitable. Oil type mold temperature controllers can not only achieve a wider temperature control range, but also perform better in thermal stability.   4. Mold size and heat capacity Large molds often require mold temperature controllers(MTCs) to have sufficient heating or cooling power to quickly reach and maintain the required temperature. Molds with large heat capacity require more energy during heating or cooling. For example, a large automotive parts injection mold has a much larger heat capacity than a small plastic toy mold, so a more powerful mold temperature controller(MTC) needs to be selected. The heat capacity can be estimated by calculating the volume of the mold and the specific heat capacity of the material, thereby determining the appropriate mold temperature controller(MTC) power.   5. Pump flow and pressure The flow of the circulation pump determines the circulation speed of the heat transfer medium (such as water or heat transfer oil) between the mold and the mold temperature controller(MTC). Insufficient flow will cause uneven mold temperature and affect product quality. Generally speaking, the flow rate is determined according to the size and complexity of the mold. For small molds, a circulation pump flow of 10-30L/min may be sufficient, while a large and complex mold may require a flow of more than 50L/min. The pressure of the mold temperature controller(MTC) must be able to overcome the resistance of the pipeline and the resistance inside the mold to ensure the smooth circulation of the heat transfer medium. If the pressure is not enough, local overheating or overcooling may occur. When selecting a mold temperature controller(MTC), consider the impact of factors such as the mold's pipeline length, pipe diameter, and number of elbows on the pressure. To meet the needs of different molds.   6. Control system Hengde mold temperature controller(MTC) adopts imported microcomputer control mode. According to customer requirements, PLC control and RS485 communication function can be selected to achieve automatic management.   7. Safety Check whether the mold temperature controller(MTC) has perfect safety functions, such as overheat protection, leakage protection, overload protection, etc. For industrial occasions with dangerous environments such as flammable and explosive gases, steam, dust, etc., such as chemical, oil and gas, pharmaceutical and other industries, when purchasing a mold temperature controller(MTC), you also need to consider the explosion-proof function and choose Hengde's explosion-proof mold temperature controller(MTC).   8. Purchase cost / operating cost Compare the prices of mold temperature controllers of different brands and functions. Under the premise of meeting the application requirements, choose the most cost-effective mold temperature controllers(MTCs). At the same time, the operating cost of the mold temperature controller(MTC), including energy consumption, maintenance costs, etc., should also be considered. When purchasing a mold temperature controller(MTC), it is important to choose a manufacturer that offers comprehensive warranty coverage and reliable after-sales support, including timely technical assistance and accessible maintenance services.

Connecting the Heat Medium Pipeline Use Teflon tubes or bellows to connect the heat medium outlet of the water type mold temperature controller machine to the mold inlet. Teflon tubes and bellows have good flexibility and high temperature resistance, which can adapt to different installation environments and are not easy to deform or damage at high temperatures. When connecting, pay attention to the pipeline direction to avoid bending or twisting and ensure the smooth flow of the heat medium.   2. Connect the mold outlet back to the heat medium inlet of the temperature machine to form a complete hot water circulation path. During the connection process, carefully check whether the connection is well - sealed to prevent hot water leakage.   3. For the unused heat medium inlets and outlets on the temperature machine, it is highly recommended to connect them with Teflon tubes or bellows. This measure can effectively prevent the situation of hot water spraying out and hurting people due to accidental valve opening. At the same time, in order to further improve energy efficiency and ensure the safety of employees, it is best to wrap the hot water connection pipes with insulation cotton. The insulation cotton can effectively reduce heat loss, lower energy consumption, and avoid employees from being scalded.   If you have any questions during the installation process, please feel free to contact Hengde.

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?

Cast film calendering mold temperature controller is also called cast film calendering oil heater and cast film calendering electric heating oil furnace. It is a special mold temperature controller for cast film plastic thermoforming. Nowadays, in the process of temperature-controlled cast film forming, more and more customers tend to choose mold temperature controllers.   As a consumable part of the mold temperature controller, the heating tube is used to heat the heat transfer oil to ensure that the heat transfer oil can be heated to the preset temperature within a unit time. The selection of heating tubes mainly considers its power. The greater the heating power, the faster the heating speed. Of course, the higher the heating power, the better. The higher the heating power, the larger the specifications of cables and electrical components are required, which increases the cost of the mold temperature controller.   How to check whether the heating tube of the cast film calendering mold temperature controller is burned out? Since the mold temperature controller uses electric heating tubes, if there is a problem with the quality of the heating tubes, or the mold temperature controller manufacturer's design is unreasonable, the heating tubes will burn out and the mold temperature controller will not be able to heat. For the burnout of the mold temperature controller heating tube, we can use a multimeter to detect the resistance value and current value. If the data is abnormal, it is possible that the mold temperature controller heating tube is burnt out and needs to be replaced.   If the cast film calendering mold temperature controller heating tube is burnt out, what should we do at this time? The following are the steps and suggestions for solving the problem of heating tube burnout: 1. Shut down and cut off the power Immediately stop the equipment operation and disconnect the power supply to ensure safe operation. Turn off the heating and cooling system of the mold temperature controller to prevent further damage.   2. Check the cause of the burnout of the heating tube For the water mold temperature controller, it may be due to insufficient water inlet pressure and insufficient external water entering, causing the water-type mold temperature controller to be short of water. At this time, in order to protect the heating tube and the circulation pump, the mold temperature controller will alarm. Another reason may be that the pressure controller fails and cannot detect the system pressure normally, or a false alarm occurs. At this time, it is necessary to measure the current signal of the pressure controller.   3. Replace the heating tube Choose a suitable heating tube: According to the model and specifications of the mold temperature controller, choose a heating tube with the same power, size and material. Ensure that the temperature range and corrosion resistance of the heating tube meet the process requirements. Install a new heating tube: Install the heating tube correctly according to the equipment manual or the guidance of professionals. Ensure that the wiring of the heating tube is firm to avoid poor contact or short circuit. Test operation: After replacement, first perform a no-load test to check whether the heating tube is working properly. Gradually increase the temperature and observe whether the temperature control is stable.   The heating tubes of the cast film forming mold temperature controller equipped by Hengde for each customer are of high quality. Customers do not need to worry about their quality during use. If you buy a mold temperature controller from other manufacturers, remember to pay attention to the quality of the heating tube.   4. Check and repair other related components Check the temperature control system: confirm whether the temperature sensor, controller and relay are working properly. Calibrate or replace the temperature control element if necessary. Check the circulation system: ensure that the heat transfer medium is sufficient and the circulation pump is operating normally. Clean the filter or pipe to avoid blockage. Check the power supply and circuit: check whether the voltage is stable and the wiring is firm. Install a voltage stabilizer or replace damaged electrical components if necessary.   5. Preventive measures In order to avoid the heating tube from burning out again, the following preventive measures can be taken: Regular maintenance: Regularly check and clean the equipment pipeline. According to the usage, regularly clean the pipeline scale, carbon deposits, and impurities to avoid scale and carbon deposits blocking the pipeline and causing the heating tube to burn out, thereby affecting the service life of the heating tube. Monitoring operating parameters: Real-time monitoring of the temperature and current of the heating tube, and timely handling of abnormalities. Use high-quality heating tubes: Choose high-temperature and corrosion-resistant high-quality heating tubes to extend the service life. Optimize process parameters: Avoid long-term overload operation and set the heating temperature and time reasonably.   6. Seek professional support If the problem is complicated or cannot be solved by yourself, it is recommended to contact the equipment manufacturer or professional maintenance personnel for inspection and maintenance to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the equipment.   Through the above steps, the problem of burnout of the heating tube of the cast film calendering mold temperature controller can be effectively solved, and preventive measures can be taken to reduce the occurrence of similar failures and ensure the continuity of production and the stability of product quality.

In the previous article, we already mentioned How To Maintenance The Mold Temperature Controller? Covering fundamental maintenance tips such as cleaning, inspecting electrical components, checking oil/water quality, and ensuring proper circulation.   Building on that foundation, this guide will show you how to extend your mold temperature controller’s life, improve its efficiency, and reduce downtime. Whether you are using an Oil Type Mold Temperature Controller or a Water Type Mold Temperature Controller, following these best practices can save your facility time and money.   Why Proper Maintenance Matters A Mold Temperature Controller plays a crucial role in precision temperature control for injection molding, extrusion, rubber, and other process manufacturing. A well-maintained controller can run reliably for 7–10 years or more, while neglected equipment may face frequent breakdowns within 1–3 years. Extending your mold temperature controller’s lifespan not only improves production stability but also reduces repair costs, energy consumption, and unplanned downtime.   Core Maintenance Principles for Mold Temperature Controllers Before exploring advanced lifespan-extension strategies, let's quickly review the core maintenance points from the previous article: Maintenance Item Summary Pipe & filter cleaning Prevents clogging and ensures efficient circulation Pump inspection Reduces noise, vibration, and flow issues Electrical component check Prevents short circuits and safety hazards Temperature monitoring  Maintains stable process parameters Medium selection (oil/water) Ensures proper heat transfer and system longevity   Following these steps consistently is the first step to achieving optimal performance. 1. Choose the Right Medium and Maintain It Properly Selecting the correct medium is essential for Mold Temperature Controller Maintenance: Water Type Mold Temperature Controller: Suitable for temperatures below 180°C（356˚F）. Pay attention to scaling and corrosion. Oil Type Mold Temperature Controller: Ideal for applications above 200°C（392˚F）. Use high-quality thermal oil to prevent oxidation and carbonization.   Note：If you use an oil mold temperature controller, please be aware of carbon build-up inside the heating tubes, as it is a key factor that reduces heating efficiency and shortens equipment life. Over time, high-temperature oil may deteriorate and form carbon deposits, which act as an insulating layer and prevent proper heat transfer. When heat cannot disperse effectively, the heating tubes are forced to work under higher load, increasing energy use and the risk of overheating or tube failure. To avoid this, perform routine checks, replace aged thermal oil in time, and clean the system when needed. This helps keep the heating tubes efficient, safe, and durable. 2. Maintain a Stable Operating Environment The installation and surrounding environment affect the lifespan of your mold temperature controller: Avoid humid, dusty, or corrosive conditions. Ensure proper ventilation and heat dissipation. Do not place near furnaces, hot mold surfaces, or machine exhaust outlets. A stable environment reduces stress on pumps, electrical components, and heating elements, helping improve mold temperature controller efficiency over time. 3. Avoid Frequent Heating and Cooling Cycles Frequent temperature changes accelerate metal fatigue, wear on seals, and electrical stress. To minimize this: Keep the process temperature as stable as possible. Gradually adjust temperatures when cooling down or heating up. Lower the temperature to a safe range before powering off. By reducing thermal shock, both oil and water type mold temperature controllers can maintain optimal performance longer.   4. Use Genuine Spare Parts and Quality Components Each component inside a mold temperature controller contributes to the overall stability of the system. Pumps, heating elements, control boards, relays, and sensors are exposed to constant temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress.Low-quality components often lead to chain failures. Choose reliable brands for: Temperature controllers(For example, Omron, WEST and etc) Relays(ABB / Fuji Electric  / Omron / Siemens / Eaton, etc) Pumps and motors Heating tubes Electrical components (Schneider / Siemens / Eaton / ABB,etc） While the initial cost may be higher, the long-term benefits include reduced downtime, consistent temperature control, and extended device life.  5. Implement Preventive Maintenance A structured preventive maintenance schedule is more cost-effective than reactive repairs. Recommended intervals: Interval Maintenance Tasks Weekly Check leaks, alarms, pump flow, and temperature accuracy Monthly Clean filters, inspect pump pressure, check wiring Semi-annual Test oil/water quality, calibrate controllers, inspect safety valves Annual Full system check, including electrical testing, seal replacement, and pressure testing Documenting maintenance actions helps identify trends, anticipate failures, and improves the extend mold temperature controller lifespan goal.   6. Train Operators to Avoid Misuse Many failures are caused by improper operation rather than product defects: Running dry without circulation Turning on heating before starting the pump Operating beyond temperature limits Providing operator training for proper start-up, shutdown, and emergency procedures ensures safety and reliability, while also protecting your mold temperature controller investment. 7. Troubleshooting and Performance Optimization Despite careful maintenance, issues may arise. Familiarity with Mold Temperature Controller Troubleshooting techniques is essential: * Temperature Fluctuations: Check for pump flow issues or sensor misalignment. * Pump Noise or Vibration: Inspect for air pockets, worn bearings, or blocked filters. * Heating/Cooling Inefficiency: Assess medium quality, heating element condition, or heat exchanger performance. * Early troubleshooting prevents minor issues from escalating, keeping production on schedule and maximizing controller lifespan.   Conclusion Extending the life of your Mold Temperature Controller requires more than routine cleaning—it involves a combination of correct medium use, stable operating environment, preventive maintenance, quality components, operator training, and smart monitoring. By following these strategies: You extend mold temperature controller lifespan. You improve mold temperature controller efficiency. You reduce the need for costly repairs through timely mold temperature controller troubleshooting. Whether you are using an Oil Type Mold Temperature Controller or a Water Type Mold Temperature Controller, a disciplined maintenance routine ensures your investment continues delivering reliable, precise temperature control for years.   For more detailed guidance, visit our previous article: How to maintenance the mold temperature controller?
