Pressurised water temperature control units from Tool-Temp distinguish themselves through the ability to regulate water temperature at values above 100 °C. Tool-Temp divides its pressurised water systems into two temperature groups: units with a maximum temperature up to 140 °C and units with a maximum operating temperature of up to 160 °C.
Robust and designed for safe operation
Tool-Temp places great value on ensuring robust construction. Pressurised water systems exclusively make use of permanent pipe joints. These are made using highly automated bending machines at the plant in Sulgen. The housing is fully enclosed so that zero contamination can take place. Heaters are placed under minimal load and the ratio of load on the heating surface to flow rate is optimised. Critical components such as coolers and flow rate sensors are produced in our own facilities. Starting with the design phase, special attention is given to the materials used. Without exception, stainless steel is used at every single point that will come into contact with water.
Applications of pressurised water units
The primary advantage of pressurised water units lies in the high heat carrying capacity and excellent heat transfer properties of water. Compared to oil heat transfer mediums, water can transport much more energy. The wide range of operating temperatures achieved by Tool-Temp pressurised water units, as well as the direct cooling function, makes these units suitable for a wide range of applications. They are used for heating tool moulds in the plastic industry, controlling the temperature of rollers in the printing industry, and temperature control for extruders in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food processing industries.
