Few people realize what is required to make that plastic container housing your liquid laundry detergent, milk, or favorite soda.
Here is a simple explanation of the process:
Raw plastic pellets are fed into the Plastic Mold Injection Machinery where they are liquified.
The liquified plastic is injected into a glycol cooled mold with compressed air, taking the shape of the mold.
The plastic begins to harden.
The molds are then opened hydraulically, the plastic part is trimmed down, and a finished product is dispensed.
The plastic parts are then transfered to the packaging area or filling station.
Plastic Mold Injection plants use chilled glycol in the following ways:
Mold Cooling- Chilled glycol is circulated through cooling veins within the component molds.
Hydraulic Cooling- Chilled Glycol is circulated through the cooling heat exchanger keeping hydraulics cool.
Room Cooling/Dehumidification- Temperature and Humidity control in the Mold Injection Room is often critical for producing consistent high quality components.
Plastic Mold Injection applications can also utilize our coaxial Heat Recovery Units. Heat that would normally be rejected to the outside air is recovered and used to preheat water and/or their building.
All of our chiller systems are available with refrigerant R404A, a CFC free alternative to Refrigerant R-22.
