Top 10 Challenges in Heat-Exchange and Temperature Control for Injection Molding
Why are cooling systems so important in plastics injection molding operations? Plastic injection molding relies on a process of heat transfer: A heated screw assembly at the head of a molding machine accepts raw material, usually resin pellets or regrind, and adds heat to the resin until it softens into...

What are Temperature Control Units and How Do They Work?
A temperature control unit or "TCU" is exactly what the name implies: a device that is used to regulate the temperature of an injection molding, blow molding, extrusion or other plastics process within a narrow range in order to ensure the quality and efficiency of that process. Unlike a chiller...
