Temperature measuring strips, for example, are stuck to components that heat up under load. The measuring strip shows the maximum temperature reached after the component has cooled down. This means that the maximum temperature of the component can be read off quickly and inexpensively.

FT water temperature controllers make it possible not only to cut down on the use of electrical power for heating (in fact, the heating elements remain off during steady-state operation), but they also make it possible to limit the cooling power spent on cooling by self-stabilizing through a process called Autotuning. This system also saves resources (water and energy) compared to units without them. They are designed to condition molds and cylinders for various industrial processes, including plastics and rubber molding and extrusion, and in the paper industry.

Often the main critical issue for molding industries is not achieving the temperatures needed for their processes, but maintaining them over time. Hence the usefulness of temperature control units that not only send the fluids needed to do the job up to temperature, but are capable of subsequent self-tuning. This is the way FTT DC water temperature controllers operate, which wrap direct cooling to stabilize fluid grades after the desired temperature has been reached. This requires integration with a source of cooled water: a simple well or a chiller or cooling system (chiller or dry cooler). Our engineers are available to determine which cooling solution is the most effective and economical. Not only that. The management of these successive heating-cooling steps is easier when done with a touch screen: a feature with which FTT DC temperature controllers are equipped. Units in the FTT category are specially designed to condition molds.
