The power of Industrial Chillers in the Plastics Industry

In the plastics processing , industrial chiller play an indispensable role. During production, as heat is constantly generated by machinery, molds, and industrial reactions, product quality becomes unstable when the temperature exceeds the material's tolerance. Taking the production of plastic products as an example, the cooling time in the production of plastic products accounts for more than 80% of the entire cycle. This shows the importance of reducing the cooling time, chilled water can absorb heat in time so that the temperature of the mold cavity is rapidly reduced, the product is shaped faster, and the opening of the mold is shortened. Industrial air cooled chiller through the control of equipment temperature, improve product quality and production efficiency, as well as promote energy saving and environmental protection production plays an important role. This article will focus on the role of the industrial process chiller in plastics processing and applications.

1.  7 Reasons Why Industrial Chiller Is Essential for Plastics Processing


1.1 Temperature stability

The industrial water chiller machine can provide precise temperature control to ensure that the plastic material is processed within the optimal temperature range, avoiding product defects caused by temperature changes.


1.2 Production efficiency improvement

The industrial water chiller machine rapidly cools plastic products and shortens the cooling time, thus speeding up the production cycle and improving production efficiency.


1.3 Product quality assurance

Through constant temperature control and rapid cooling, the industrial water cooled chiller can reduce product deformation, defects, and internal stress, and improve product quality and consistency.


1.4 Energy saving and environmental protection

Industrial water cooled chiller use advanced cooling technology that can effectively reduce energy consumption and reduce the impact on the environment. They typically use highly efficient compressors and heat exchangers that can minimize energy savings while reducing temperatures.


1.5 Flexibility and expandability

The industrial air cooled water chiller can be flexibly configured and expanded according to production requirements. According to the change of processing scale, the number of industrial water cooled chillers can be increased or decreased to meet different production requirements.


1.6 Automation control

Modern industrial process chillers are usually equipped with advanced automation control systems, which can achieve intelligent operation and monitoring. Through sensors and controllers, parameters such as temperature, flow, and pressure can be monitored and adjusted in real-time to improve the accuracy and stability of operation.


1.7 Reduced maintenance costs

Industrial water cooled chillers are relatively simple to maintain and usually require regular cleaning and replacement of filter elements. Compared with other cooling equipment, they have lower maintenance costs, which can reduce production costs.



2. Top 4 Application Areas of Industrial Chillers in Plastic Processing


2.1 Plastic injection molding

In the injection molding process, the main role of the industrial chiller is to control the temperature of the mold to ensure the stability of the plastic melting and injection process thus ensuring the quality and size consistency of the plastic extruded parts. At the same time, the industrial air cooled chiller can quickly cool the plastic products, greatly improving your production efficiency.

2.2Plastic blow molding

Blow molding is a common plastic molding process used to make hollow plastic products such as bottles, containers, drums, and pipes. The process usually involves blowing heated, melted plastic through high-pressure air into a mold where it comes into contact with the surface of the mold and cures and molds while cooling rapidly, resulting in a plastic product of the desired shape and size. In the process of blow molding, the use of a industrial water cooled chiller for rapid cooling and curing of plastic products can greatly reduce the cooling time of plastic products, which is essential for controlling the dimensional accuracy of plastic products, preventing plastic parts from deformation and shrinkage, and ensuring the quality of plastic parts products.

2.3PVD Plastic Surface Treatment Process

PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a commonly used plastic surface treatment process used to form a thin film layer on the surface of plastic products. The PVD process converts solid materials into vapor or ions by physical means and deposits them to form a thin film on the surface of the plastic, to improve the appearance, performance, and function of the plastic products. In the process of PVD plastic film production, the use of industrial water chiller machine for cooling can protect the physical properties and shape stability of the plastic substrate, control the quality of the plastic film, and so on.


2.4 Plastic film cooling

Industrial process chillers can be used for roller cooling in plastic film production lines to control the temperature and shrinkage of the plastic film on the rollers by cooling them to obtain the desired film characteristics.

3. How to choose a industrial chiller?

The selection of a industrial chiller is one of the most important factors in the plastics production process, as the performance of the industrial air cooled chiller directly determines the quality and efficiency of the entire production process:

3.1 Refrigeration demand


If you do not have a high demand for refrigeration capacity, Kassel recommends you buy a portable chiller, which has a relatively low refrigeration capacity and is suitable for smaller scale applications or occasions where the low-temperature requirement is more lenient; if you have a relatively high demand for refrigeration capacity, Kassel recommends you to buy a central chiller which usually has a higher refrigeration capacity, and can handle a large number of heat loads and high-temperature requirements. central chillers usually have a higher cooling capacity and can handle large heat loads and high-temperature requirements.

3.2 Based on actual water consumption


The water consumption of a industrial chiller is closely related to the temperature of the cooling water. Usually, every 1 degree of water temperature, needs a certain amount of energy to take away the heat to achieve the cooling effect. Therefore, when selecting the appropriate industrial chiller model, you need to consider the maximum flow of cooling water the required compressor power, and other factors to determine the best configuration to achieve the best cost-effective.

3.3 Determine the cooling method


According to the different cooling methods, you can choose an industrial air cooled chiller or industrial water cooled chiller.
Understanding these factors can help you choose the right type of industrial process chiller for your specific needs. Please note that specific industrial chiller specifications and features may vary depending on the product model, it is recommended to have a detailed consultation with Kassel before purchase, as a professional industrial chiller supplier, Kassel Machinery can provide you with professional advice and customized industrial cooling solutions.
