NPE2024 Product Preview: Wittmann TCU can handle high temperatures
Canadian Plastics
NPE2024 Plastics Processes
The Tempro Plus D390 temperature control unit (TCU) from Wittmann (NPE booth W3043) achieves temperatures up to 392 degrees Fahrenheit, which exceeds the company’s previous high of 360 degrees Fahrenheit. At NPE, it will be shown with a variable-frequency-drive EcoDrive pump (VFD), which limits water output to only what is needed.
The company’s goal is to offer users a viable alternative to oil as a process medium. Because of the demanding conditions, the Tempro Plus D390’s components are more durable, made of stainless steel to resist corrosion. Special fine filters maintain water quality.
All of the units in Wittmann’s Tempro Plus TCU line are designed to ensure a need for less circulating water and shorter preheating and cool-down periods. In addition to controlling temperature and pressure, the TCUs monitor for leaks and broken hoses, as standard. All Tempro Plus D pressure devices are equipped with magnetically coupled pumps and operate without mechanical seals.
