Precise temperature control for maximum quality, short cycles and stable processes
Precise temperature control is the heart of every plastics process – it determines quality, mechanical properties, cycle time and scrap rate. SINGLE’s temperature control and cooling solutions ensure that tools, equipment and process zones operate exactly within their optimal temperature window. The result: consistently high-quality, reproducible products – even with demanding materials, complex geometries, multi-layer processes or high cycle rates.
Your Challenges
The plastics processing industry faces the challenge of controlling a wide variety of process steps with precise temperature control – from mold temperature control in injection molding, to zone-controlled extruders, to highly accurate roller and die temperatures in film production. Even small deviations can cause viscosity problems, dimensional inaccuracies, surface defects or uneven layer structures. At the same time, energy-efficient and stable equipment operation is expected across a wide range of materials, while production lines must work increasingly faster, more flexibly and in a digitally connected way.
Our Solution
SINGLE helps ensure your plastics processes run reliably, energy-efficiently and and with consistent, repeatable results – regardless of material, tool geometry or process dynamics. The units combine precise control, high flow performance and robust construction into a reliable system that integrates flexibly and to your exact specifications into any line. Comprehensive monitoring functions and state-of-the-art communication interfaces (e.g. OPC UA, ProfiNet) also provide full control over all relevant parameters and straightforward integration into existing process control and quality systems.
