With less energy to higher injection molding quality

With the DH sys­tem, hotset of­fers mold mak­ers in in­jec­tion mold­ing tech­nol­o­gy a high-speed process for par­tial-cy­cle tem­per­a­ture con­trol, which on the one hand avoids vi­su­al de­fects (vis­i­ble weld lines, dull ha­los, etc.), but on the oth­er hand al­lows fil­i­gree fine struc­tures and very thin wall thick­ness­es to be re­al­ized. Syn­chro­nized with the in­jec­tion mold­ing process, the cav­i­ties can thus be heat­ed and cooled se­lec­tive­ly or in sec­tions at a rapid heat­ing rate of up to 60 K/s – en­abling very fast tem­per­a­ture changes in short cy­cles. Man­u­fac­tur­ers of in­jec­tion mold­ed parts for the con­sumer and au­to­mo­tive in­dus­tries can thus im­prove the sur­face qual­i­ty of their prod­ucts and open up new prospects for light­weight con­struc­tion and minia­tur­iza­tion. In ad­di­tion to renowned ma­chine man­u­fac­tur­ers in the in­jec­tion mold­ing in­dus­try, INCOE has now al­so in­te­grat­ed the con­cept of par­tial tem­per­a­ture con­trol in­to its port­fo­lio. “We are mak­ing this strate­gic part­ner­ship with one of the lead­ing hot run­ner man­u­fac­tur­ers pub­lic for the first time at K.” The com­pa­ny of­fers the DH sys­tem – slight­ly mod­i­fied – un­der the name Heat-In­ject, us­ing its hot run­ner tech­nol­o­gy as a plat­form for in­te­gra­tion in­to the in­jec­tion mold “In this way, us­ing both sales net­works, we can fur­ther es­tab­lish our ex­per­tise in tem­per­a­ture con­trol tech­nol­o­gy in the mar­ket”, ex­plains Sven Braatz. In ad­di­tion, hotset will demon­strate at its booth on a run­ning in­jec­tion mold­ing ma­chine with a sam­ple mold that the per­for­mance of its sys­tem so­lu­tion ex­tends far be­yond the lim­its of var­io­ther­mal tem­per­a­ture con­trol. “The DH-Sys­tem acts faster, more ac­cu­rate­ly and more eco­nom­i­cal­ly. Whether heat­ing rate, en­er­gy con­sump­tion, per­for­mance, cy­cle time or safe­ty – it is ahead every­where. Com­pared to the var­io­ther­mic method, it is much more pro­duc­tive, eco­nom­i­cal and sus­tain­able. It us­es 50 times less en­er­gy in the heat­ing phase alone”, em­pha­sizes Sven Braatz.
