Discover examples of our project work. And join us in taking a look into the future. Because further projects are currently opening many doors to new markets for hotset — currently also in the field of fuel cell technology. Here, the focus is less on heating and more on complex thermodynamic solutions that focus on intelligent temperature control.
Example 1
The challenge:
In a processing operation, too high temperature differences led to deviations that did not meet the customer’s quality requirements.
The solution:
Developed and manufactured a plug-in system. This was followed by assembly in the conveyor line of the manufacturing plant.
The result:
Homogeneous temperature control: A uniform heat transfer to the material to be heated was achieved.
Example 2
The challenge:
Significant quality improvements in thermoforming.
The solution:
hotset develops application-specific heating plates for the processing of packaging films, which are used as a replacement for the previously common standard products.
The result:
A distinctive and homogeneous temperature distribution on the films in the dynamic process and thus significant quality improvements in the products manufactured by thermoforming. This concept can also be transferred to the hot pressing or sealing of packaging films.
Example 3
The challenge:
Optimizing the process flow while improving product quality.
The solution:
The patented hotcast ZD sprue nozzle for zinc die casting, which replaces the conventional cold sprue bushing, keeps the melt at melting temperature until shortly before it enters the cavity. The melting point is moved directly to the parting line.
The result:
The now short sprue reduces cycle time and remelting costs. Due to the melt being kept hot longer, fine contours are formed more clearly in the casting, the surface is visually improved, and porosity and shrinkage are reduced.
Example 4
The challenge:
Holistic quality improvements in the injection molding process.
The solution:
Conceptual design and development of the new DH-System for targeted partial and dynamic temperature control of molds in injection molding.
The result:
Optically flawless surfaces, good molding of microstructures, very thin wall thicknesses and the ability to heat or cool cavities very quickly selectively. This allows cycle times in injection molding to be reduced, which ultimately leads to an increase in productivity.
Example 5
The challenge:
Improving the energy efficiency of a milk heater (white goods segment).
The solution:
Conceptualization and implementation of a collaborative development project for a flow heater.
The result:
A particularly energy-efficient and at the same time very ecological device solution.
Example 6
The challenge:
Logistical optimizations in the assembly process of control cabinets.
The solution:
Development of a completely new assembly line for a well-known manufacturer of control cabinets.
The result:
Relief of the customer by taking over the responsibility for a significant part of the value chain.
