Conventional temperature control units consume unnecessary energy due to constantly fluctuating heating and cooling cycles caused by control deviations, driving up operational costs.

In contrast, a RHYTEMPER® FlexControl system can operate without any heating energy in the process. This eliminates 100% of the typically incurred heating costs. Additionally, the cooling energy required to compensate for control inaccuracies in standard temperature controllers is no longer needed.

Another advantage is the interruption of the temperature control medium when the mold is opened. This not only reduces energy consumption but also improves process conditions for each new injection cycle, ensuring optimal mold filling and part quality.

By eliminating the need for a recirculation pump, the RHYTEMPER® system achieves multiple additional savings. This reduces expensive electricity consumption and avoids return cooling energy from pump heat.

Overall, RHYTEMPER® systems reduce heating energy demand to zero, minimize cooling energy to only what is strictly necessary, and thereby lower mold temperature control costs to an absolute minimum.

Reaching full production conditions in the shortest possible time is critical for plastics processors. Depending on mold and shot weight, a warm-up phase without preheating is often unavoidable. RHYTEMPER® temperature control units drastically shorten the start-up period to reach quality-compliant operating temperatures. This eliminates unnecessary waiting times caused by manual mold warming.

Moreover, individual mold zones that require continuous heat can be supplied on demand via the preheating unit. The organization of targeted preheating during start-up, as well as the supply of heat to specific mold zones, is managed centrally by the RHYTEMPER® control system.

In this way, RHYTEMPER® temperature control units make a significant contribution to optimal process time utilization and, ultimately, to cost-efficient production.
