This is a 12KW oil-based mold temperature controller designed for rubber mold presses. It circulates heated thermal oil to maintain precise mold temperatures for processes such as rubber molding, plastic molding, die casting and similar applications.
12KW refers to the heater rated power of the unit. It indicates the maximum electrical heating capacity and affects how quickly the system can raise the oil and mold temperature. Actual heating speed depends on mold mass, oil volume and system insulation.
Temperature range depends on the model and the thermal oil used; many oil-type controllers operate up to roughly 200–350 °C. The controller can achieve high accuracy; temperature control accuracy can reach ±0.1 °C (model and sensor placement dependent). Confirm exact limits with the supplier.
This product is an oil temperature controller (thermal-oil based). It is intended for applications requiring higher temperatures than typical water-based systems. Do not use water in an oil system.
Common uses include rubber mold presses, plastic injection molds, die casting, rollers and tires, chemical reactors, bonding operations and other processes requiring precise heating of molds or tooling.
Most units use a digital PID temperature controller with setpoint programming and real-time display. Some models also offer PLC interfaces, alarms, and external sensor inputs. Check the specific model for controller features.
Typical safety features include over-temperature protection, independent high-limit thermostat, low-oil-level protection or float switch, pressure relief and electrical protection (fuses/MCB). Always confirm the safety list for the exact unit you purchase.
Install on a level, stable surface with adequate ventilation. Electrical hookup should be performed by a qualified electrician using the correct voltage/phase and proper grounding. Connect inlet/outlet lines to the mold, fill with recommended thermal oil, purge air from the circulation loop, and check for leaks before operation.
Use a thermal fluid compatible with the temperature range required (consult the manufacturer for recommended oil types). Change intervals depend on operating temperature and contamination levels; inspect oil periodically and replace if darkened, viscous or degraded. Follow manufacturer maintenance guidelines.
An oil temperature controller is primarily a heating and circulation system. Cooling can be achieved by stopping heating and using ambient dissipation or connecting to an external chiller or heat exchanger if rapid cooling is required. Some suppliers offer integrated heating/cooling configurations—ask about options.
Regular maintenance includes checking oil level and quality, inspecting and cleaning filters and strainers, verifying pump operation, checking electrical connections, testing safety interlocks and replacing worn seals or sensors. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule.
Check that power is correct and breakers/fuses are intact, verify oil level and that the pump is circulating, ensure the sensor is properly positioned and in good condition, look for air trapped in lines, and confirm setpoint and PID settings. Contact technical support if problems persist.
Many suppliers offer multiple electrical configurations (single-phase or three-phase, various voltages) to match local power supplies. Specify your required voltage/phase when ordering or consult the manufacturer.
Common options include additional temperature sensors, insulation jackets, upgraded PID/PLC controllers, remote communication (Modbus), variable-speed pumps, expansion tanks, and integrated chillers or heat exchangers. Ask the supplier about configurable options for your application.
