Articles explore plastics manufacturing, looking at the role of process cooling equipment in the design, manufacture and production of goods in the process industries.
When a manufacturer of plastic containers decided to build a new facility to meet customer demand, selecting a cooling system with an adiabatic fluid cooler and water-cooled chiller allowed the company to take advantage of free cooling when environmental conditions support it.
Although the Delavan facility currently operates only six product lines, Schoeneck Containers — now known as Radius Packaging — opted for a cooling system that could grow with the company and eliminate the need to spend additional capital down the road.
Thermolator TCUs are offered three standard configurations. The TW-V is offered with 0.75- and 2-hp models, both with a 12 kW heater and 0.375" solenoid valve.
While the basic design and function of temperature control units can be relatively simple, each aspect has a wide-ranging impact on the system overall.
Temperature control units are relatively simple in their design and operation, but the impact they have on industrial processes can be significant. To better understand this, it is important to review.
When Miele’s old closed system with a hybrid evaporative cooler reached the end of its service life, the German manufacturer needed a solution for cooling the hydraulic systems at its Warendorf location.
With the launch of the TCX 4-90A chiller range, Atlas Copco extended its industrial portfolio to include process cooling equipment. The company plans to introduce more products to the market in 2021 and extend the range to include higher cooling capacities.
A retrofit project for a Vietnamese rigid packaging and PET converter swapped out four evaporative cooling towers and eight water-cooled chillers for side-machine individual chillers and an adiabatic cooler for overall heat dissipation.
Electric noise caused by variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and other direct-coupled electrical fast transients from valves and relays is a serious challenge in the plastics industry. To address the problem, Danfoss developed a pressure transmitter optimized for the specific conditions of the plastics industry.
Industrial operations continue to confront numerous issues with the cooling towers employed to cool industrial processes. The towers cool the processes by evaporatively cooling the circulating water used for process cooling.
The Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Thermoforming Division hosts the biennial SPE Thermoforming Conference. The next event is planned for October 24-26, 2023, in Cleveland, Ohio.
