TECH GROUP – 119 MOULD HEATERS
It is also a fact that a reasonably
well maintained mould heater
can have a fairly long and
healthy life-span. Dan Horne,
the General Manager at Renmar
Plastics Machinery, is still sending
mould heater spare parts to a
company for a machine which
is approaching thirty years old.
However, this is an exception; there
are not many companies who
are prepared to keep, a relatively
inexpensive piece of equipment
that long. Most companies have a
replacement policy and one of the
most progressive is Dublin based
Tech Group, part of West Pharma,
who manufacture a wide range
of Consumer, health care, and
medical products.
Over the past seven years, as part
of their own replacement policy,
Tech Group has purchased a total
of 119 specially modified mould
heaters. The modifications include
an advanced control panel which
allows communication between
the mould heater and injection
moulding machine through a
chosen protocol, different control
valves for dealing with the process
water and a customer specified
paint treatment.
Renmar Plastics Machinery is the
UK distributor for the AEC range of
Designed specifically for
liquid cooling applications,
the LQ2 offers a high
flow capacity to optimise
liquid cooling system
performance. LQ2 uses
valve technology that
eliminates drips and is
able to withstand long term
mould heaters and the reason why
Tech Group has chosen to base
their mould heater replacement
policy around AEC, is reliability.
Practically every other competitive
range of mould heaters will have
a heat exchanger and water
reservoir. With this arrangement,
the build-up of sediment is
inevitable which means a
reduction in efficiency and
frequent maintenance. The AEC
mould heaters from Renmar have
a pressurised system which means
that flow rates are much higher,
mould heating is more consistent
thanks to turbulent flow and there
is no sediment build-up to worry
about.
