Amazing state-of-the-art technology from 40+ years of innovations... UNIQUE NON-CONTACT HEATER DESIGN No stress cracking No chemical deposits on heating elements Significantly increased heater life and reliability Major reduction of heater replacement costs typical of direct contact immersion heaters Corroded, scaled heaters in contact with process water fail frequently and expensively, especially in high temperature applications Stress damages from direct contact with quickly changing fluid temperatures cause regular premature failures SHOCK-FREE PROPORTIONING COOLING VALVES Integral, replaceable cooling water inlet filter Inlet cooling water filters provide for constant cooling efficiency Extremely accurate cooling water control No temperature fluctuations Minimum cooling water consumption No damaging shocks due to solenoid valves Constantly filtered cooling water Bulletin FNA12001 Page 2 of 8
And the engineers didn t stop there... SIDE-STREAM COOLING HEAT EXCHANGERS WITH 3-WAY PROPORTIONING BYPASS VALVES Temperature of the cooling water limited to no more than 140 F (60 C) Non-evaporating system No scaling of heat exchanger No reduction of cooling capacity as a result of deposits in the heat exchanger Scaling/deposits are eliminated in the cooling heat exchangers by limiting water temperature Proportioning valve regulates flow through the heat exchanger, preventing the cooling water from exceeding 140 F TANKLESS DESIGN WITH MINIMUM FLUID VOLUME Example of accelerated heat-up time with minimal heater kw input Rapid response times to dynamic, cyclical changes Efficient heating and cooling capacities Energy saving operation Bulletin FNA12001 Page 3 of 8
Even more significant engineering improvements... ACTIVE CONTROL OF HYDRAULIC PRESSURE (WATER UNITS) Pressure/fill pumps prevent flashing of water to steam Allows HB-180Z water units to operate up to 355 F (180 C) Temperature range of synthetic oil with the heat transfer efficiency of water Eliminates the expenses and annoyances of synthetic heat transfer fluids Prevents cavitation and wear on the pumps Faster deaeration MAINTENANCE-FREE ULTRASONIC FLOW METERS WITH LIMIT SUPERVISION Undetected variations in flow can result in shape distortion, stress cracks, dimensional instability, poor surface quality or postmolding shrinkage Detection of changes in flow rate Alarm notification for violation of limit settings No contamination effects Maintenance-free operation Fast responses and high accuracy even at low flow rates Bulletin FNA12001 Page 4 of 8
And more giant steps forward... SEALLESS REVERSING STAINLESS STEEL PUMPS Eliminates seal replacement costs Non-corrosive construction maximizes life and minimizes wear Safe and convenient mold evacuation CLOSED CORROSION-FREE HYDRAULIC CIRCUITS Closed system eliminates oxygen Cooling channels clean and rust free Maximum equipment service life Prevents clogging and corrosion HOSE RUPTURE AND LEAKAGE MONITOR Shutoff and alarm based on filling duration and refilling cycles Permanent monitoring of system pressure (water units) or level (oil units) Early detection CYCLICAL SYSTEM WATER EXCHANGE Periodic replacement of mold loop coolant after mold evacuation, at each start-up or at selectable rinsing intervals Takes advantage of the central supply system water treatment Protects the mold and temperature control unit from corrosion and slurry build-up Bulletin FNA12001 Page 5 of 8
