Effective mould
cooling is one of the most important aspects of the production process for
technical plastic parts. Only with an optimally designed cooling system is it
possible to run production in a cost-efficient and highly
profitable manner. The requirements on present-day mould cooling have
risen not only in terms of functionality but also with regard to
the maximum temperatures and flow volumes employed and
the effectiveness of the cooling system.
The constantly
growing demands on mould cooling are accompanied by an ever-increasing need for
stainless steel components. Applications in the fields of medical technology
and cleanroom environments call for a clean and reliable temperature
control system.
The new HASCO
cooling range in stainless steel ensures the reliable cooling
of injection moulds when using hot or cold water or heat-transfer
oil. Manufactured entirely from high-quality 1.4305 material, the robust, safe and easily coupled
HASCO system guarantees reliable, absolutely leak-proof and durable
temperature control applications, including in clean room environments.
The standard
temperature components in stainless steel are equipped with optimised FKM
quality seals and can be used at temperatures of up to 150°C for water and 200°C for oil.
With
high-temperature applications, in particular, the different coefficients of
thermal expansion of steel and brass result in small leaks from time to time,
which are offset by the new stainless steel range. There is no need for
time-consuming additional sealing and the safety of the process
is guaranteed throughout. HASCO additionally offers stainless steel
HT components specifically for the high-temperature range, which are equipped
with special FKM seals allowing permanent maximum operating
temperatures of 180°C for water and up to 220°C for oil.
The low
compression set of the sealing rings guarantees their optimum and safe use with
changing operating temperatures. Failures and leaks are reliably
avoided.
The new HASCO
temperature control range in stainless steel includes more than 30 product
groups offering the greatest possible flexibility for customers
and their applications. Its compatibility with the standard range allows
the optimisation of existing moulds, switching from brass to stainless steel,
and enables combinations with standard components, where required.
The component
selection has been specially adapted to market requirements. It includes
products such as hose clips, sealing plugs and diverting bridges, as well as
couplings and connectors. The proven Pushlok range and the safety couplings
established on the market round off the extensive HASCO portfolio.
