Internal Air Cooling System The Internal Air Cooling System raises productivity by up to 200% while improving the quality of your blow moulded products by exchanging the internal cavity with cold air during
the cooling phase. This reduces material stress
and automatically shortens the cooling time.
Blow Moulding Booster The BMB is our affordable entry to internal air cooling. Although less powerful than the BAC, it is also less sensitive in terms of compressed air quality and completely maintenance-free.
The air in the BMB is cooled to 1 - 5°C in order to cool the inner walls of blowmoulded products more evenly. We guarantee the increase in production which we must at least achieve when submitting an offer. If we cannot meet this guaranteed performance increase, the entire system can be returned to us and the customer will get their money back from us.

• Absolutely no maintenance required • Also useable if compressed air contains oil residue
The cooling phase is one of the most critical and at the same time one of the longest processes in blow moulding. The large temperature difference between the water cooled external side of the product and hot uncooled inside produces stress in the finished part. This reduces the overall quality and can lead to failure of leak-, strain-, and/or drop-tests.
For this reason we developed a cooling system with compressed air, the Internal Air Cooling System (IACS). In most cases raw material savings of up to 10% were possible. Experience has shown that
the return on investment is between two weeks
and six months.

Blow Air Chiller The BAC is our top performer in internal mold cooling: powerful and equipped with the FIT controller to get the most out of your system. The compressed air is cooled down to -35 °C in the BAC - this requires good quality compressed air. A residual oil content of maximum 0.01 mg/m and a maximum pressure dew point of 5 °C at 7 bar are an important prerequisite to avoid problems, as oil would destroy the molecular sieve in the PAD. The adsorbent serves to lower the dew point of the compressed air far enough to prevent freezing of the moisture in the system. With optimum quality compressed air, you can take advantage of the maximum benefits of internal mold cooling!

Mould Area Protection The proven Mold Area Protection (MAP) systems have been specifically designed to dehumidify molds and ensure sweatfree production throughout the year - even under
tropical conditions.
Mould Area Protector The MAP is our device to prevent condensation on the mold surface.
By using the MAP, you can run cold water temperatures of 6°C all year round without a drop of condensation on your enshrouded tools. No matter what climate you are in.
A FIT-controller controls the device and monitors all processes, so the operation is easy and even errors can be easily detected and corrected. The device is very low maintenance, it only requires occasional cleaning of the filter mat.

Molded plastic products are usually cooled using cold water in the cavity of the mold. However, lowering the chilled water temperature below the dew point of the ambient air causes condensation on the mold surface. The moisture can lead to defects in the molded product and permanently damage the mold itself
or drastically reduce its service life - waste and higher operating costs are the result. However, raising the chilled water temperature increases the cooling time, slows down the manufacturing
process, and reduces overall productivity.

How does Mould Area Protection work? The mold area of the machine is enshrouded and sealed off from the ambient air and supplied by the MAP with filtered, dry air. This allows a constant use of cold water with a temperature of 6°C, without causing condensation on the mold surface.
The ambient air is sucked in via a filter and cooled in two steps: First, the air is led into a water-cooled heat exchanger, whereby the cold water, which also serves for the cooling of the mold, is used. Thereafter, in the heat exchanger of the integrated refrigeration circuit, where the

air is chilled to a temperature of about 3 °C. The moisture, which is deposited on the chillers as a

and pumped out of the device.
However, lowering the chilled water temperature below the dew point of the ambient air causes condensation on the mold surface. For example, moisture can lead to defects in the molded product and can permanently damage the mold itself or drastically increase its service intervals - resulting in more rejected products and higher operating costs. However, increasing the chilled water temperature increases the cooling time, slows down the manufacturing process, and reduces overall productivity. The proven Mold Area Protection (MAP) systems have been specifically designed to dehumidify molds and ensure sweat-free production throughout the year, even under tropical conditions. The addition of antifreeze is forgone.

1. Ambient air is sucked in by the blower in the MAP unit and led through a filter to remove dust particles.
2. The ambient air is cooled with the same cold water that is also used in the mold area. Moisture is removed from the air by means of condensation on the heat exchanger's surface.
3. The pre-cooled air is now chilled to about 3 °C and thus loses further moisture. It now has a dewpoint of about 3°C. 4. In the condenser the cold air is reheated and at the same time the refrigeration compressor of the BAC is cooled. At around 25 °C, the dry air can now absorb moisture again so that no condensation can form in the mold area. The air is channeled through pipelines into the enclosed molding cabin.
