A plastic chiller is also equipped with an abnormal alarm buzzer and a fault indicator for warning. The refrigeration circuit can be cut off automatically if there is any error alarm to keep the plastic chiller safe and reliable.

As the auxiliary machine, the plastic chiller plays an important part during the plastic process and manufacturing.

In the plastics industry, the water chilling system from the plastic chiller cools the hot plastic material from the mold that is injected, blown, extruded, or stamped.

A chilling system from a plastic chiller can also cool down your plastic equipment that is used to create plastic products (hydraulics of the molding machine, gearbox, and barrel of the extruder).

You will benefit a lot by using a plastic chiller for your plastic process:

1. The plastic chiller will eliminate melting lines, melting marks, and silver lines on the plastic product surface;

2. The cooling water from plastic chiller will thoroughly solve the phenomenon of surface shrinkage of your plastic products;

3. Plastic chiller will improve the surface cleanness of your plastic product so that your finished plastic product can reach the smooth surface;

4. Using a plastic chiller, your plastic product does not need to be spray-painted for subsequent processing, which improves the yield of the phenomenon by 20-30%;

The plastic chiller can cool the molding mold, improve the smoothness of the plastic products, reduce the surface marks and internal stress of the plastic products, make the plastic products not shrink or deform, facilitate the smooth demoulding of the plastic products.

The plastic chiller can also accelerate the finalization of the products, thus greatly improving the production efficiency of the plastic molding machine.

Plastic machinery needs to be equipped with chillers: injection molding machine, bottle blowing machine, extrusion machine, thermoplastics machine, and other oil pressure system machinery.

1. The application of the plastic chiller in the injection molding machine, after the plastic particles are heated and melted, they are injected into the abrasives. After they are condensed, the mold is opened to eject the molded plastic product. In the process of contact production, the mold needs to be cooled to shorten the plastic setting time and provide the dimensional accuracy and molding quality of the product.

2. The plastic chiller is used for bottle blowing machine, which mainly produces various mineral water bottles and beverage bottles. A blowing bottle requires clean and dry compressed air. Using the chilled water provided by the plastic chiller as the cold source, the water in the compressed air can be removed.

3. The extruder is mainly used for extruding and forming pipes, trunking, cables, and various plastic profiles. After the heating and melting, raw materials are molded by the mold and cooled by the water pool, the water temperature in the water pool must be kept constant, which needs the function of the plastic chiller. Because there is already a water pool, the plastic chiller does not need to be equipped with a water tank.

4. The thermoplastics machine mainly produces small containers, such as a yogurt cup, fast food box, etc. It is very important to keep a constant temperature when the plastic is extruded in a mold heated at a constant frequency, which requires a very high stable production range of chilled water. Therefore, plastic chillers must provide chilled water to accurately control the temperature.

What is the Importance of Plastic Chiller for Plastic Manufacturing Machines?

A plastic product cannot be made manufactured without using a suitable Plastic Chiller in the process. The plastic machines manufacture the product by shaping a molten polymer material by using a mold.

This shaping process is completed by rapid cooling of the product at the end that covers this semi-liquid product into a finished solid one.

The Plastic Chiller performs this job and completes the process of plastic machine. It is not only necessary for the product but also for the machine itself.

It keeps the machines at normal temperature and saves from the effect of high temperature. This keeps the machines healthy and maintained.

What are the Applications of a Plastic Chiller?

The plastic industry cannot perform with it. It has applications in all the processes of plastic manufacturing like molding, extrusion, sheet making, injection molding, etc.

What are the Different Types of the Plastic Chiller?

  1. Water-Cooled Plastic Chiller:

This type uses water as the refrigerant for temperature control. Water is stored in an external tank or built-in refrigerant tank.

  1. Air-Cooled Plastic Chiller:

In these air is used as the refrigerant. This air is atmospheric air that is trapped and cooled to a certain degree to eliminate the heat from the system.

  1. Vapor Compressor Plastic Chiller:

This refrigerant is used to chill another fluid that is used to control the temperature. All this process is done by the compressor.

  1. Centrifugal Plastic Chiller:

This type is used for a large amount of chilling. This heavy-duty chiller works the same as Air or Water-cooled. It contains both, either water or air as the refrigerant.

What is the Importance of Plastic Chiller in Polymerization Process?

Polymerization is the most basic process of forming plastic. In this monomers are chemically treated and added with each other to make a polymer that is plastic.

This plastic is then melted and shaped into the products. The polymerization process is partially dependent upon condensation. This condensation is achieved by the Plastic Chiller.

It not only performs condensation but also carries out this process efficiently and a successful polymer is achieved.

What do Functions Plastic Chiller Play in the Extrusion Process of the Plastic Industry?

Extrusion is a type of plastic product manufacturing method in which semi-liquid raw plastic is passed through a mold. This process is done with force.

During the whole extrusion process the temperature control of the plastic and mold both are important. A Plastic Chiller controls the temperature of semi-liquid plastic as well as mold.

The plastic is required to cool down as soon as it passes through the mold, and that is facilitated by it. In extrusion, a mostly portable type of Plastic Chiller is used.
