The Rhytemper® FlowControl is a multi-circuit temperature control system designed for individual flow rate and return temperature regulation of each circuit. Target setpoints are continuously measured and adjusted on demand via proportional valves.
Rhytemper® FlowControl
Continuous temperature and flow control for plastics processing and special applications
4-way FlowControl manifold
Advantages
Compact manifold system with near-mold installation, consisting of modularly connected brass blocks

Integration of mold cooling plan with assignment and labeling of individual circuits per mold dataset
Recording and comparison of temperature spots and temperature zones in cavities using a thermographic camera
Flow measurement via turbine, vortex, or ultrasonic sensors
Automatic system analysis of target/actual flow values per individual circuit before process start (e.g., during mold change)
Temperature and flow monitoring with leak detection for all mold channels
Flow regulation per individual circuit via proportional valves
Automatic adjustment of cooling pulses using AI for the current injection molding process (self-optimizing control)
Interruption of heat removal during the shot, mold filling phase, and mold movement
Maximum hotspot cooling effect through 1.5″ water connections
Media supply via tempering unit, external heat source, or central cooling network with switch function
Extensive functionality including: return temperature control, target flow setting, ΔT control (supply and return temperature difference), pulse cooling, continuous cooling, positioning mode

Accessories
ONI RHYTEMPER Temperatur Control Units
The high-performance temperature control units from ONI Temperiertechnik RHYTEMPER® GmbH are ideal for use as stand-alone systems or, even more efficiently, in combination with an ONI temperature control installation.
ONI Rhytemper® Mold Drainage System
ONI temperature control systems come with perfectly matched accessories. Blow-out units are used for the effective emptying of cooling channels in injection molds before a mold change. This process reliably protects the cooling channels from corrosion during storage.
Filter unit
Perfectly matched accessories are available for ONI tempering systems. Filter units help prevent tool contamination and system malfunctions caused by dirt or metallic deposits from the cooling water network, ensuring reliable and sustainable operation.
