This year Wittmann UK has been notching up several double-digit orders for its Primus C mould temperature controllers for the plastics processing industries
Internet-controlled plastics production
The prospect of Internet-controlled plastics production management moves closer with WittLink, a Wittmann-developed system for monitoring automation equipment via an array of embedded web servers
Wittmann is continually extending and developing its range of mould temperature controllers: the Tempro direct 120 delivers higher productivity on the moulding shop floor.
By direct cooling this unit offers extremely high cooling capacities and precise temperature control.
The Tempro direct 120 is equipped with heating capacities up to 12 kW and high flow rate pumps up to 90 l/min as well as air purging for mould changes.

New option of dual hopper dryer system
Wittmann UK has expanded its Drymax C30 Series of materials dryers for the plastics processing sector in order to include the option of two drying hoppers, each with independent temperature control
The Wittmann Tempro Basic 90 now offers water heating to 90C or oil heating to 150C.
Included as standard are low-watt density Incoloy heat and air-purging for mould changes.
The new Wittmann Tempro direct 120 now offers direct water-based cooling for temperatures up to 120C.
The controller is fitted with a self-optimising microprocessor control (+/- 1C) for temperatures up to 120C.
Pump action with pressure of up to 6 bar guarantees a high flow of process water.
The direct cooling route offers a short preheating time and a high cooling capacity.
The Tempro Plus 250 - for highest temperature operation - now comes with a magnetically coupled pump without seal, thus pre-empting any wear and tear seal problems.
Double level controls - refill warning, automatic switch-off apply - and the controller has heating capacity of 12kW.
Meanwhile the Wittmann Tempro Primus controller introduced last year continues to do well with plastics processors who are primarily seeking value-for-money equipment.
The TP Primus comes with 6kW heating capacity and a pump capacity of 60 litres at 3.8 bar pressure.
The new Primus enhancements include: a new heating element, an improved and quieter submersible element, a leak stopper and evacuating function; alarm contact and acoustic alarm; operating hours counter; a self optimising microprocessor controller (+/-1C), and service interval display.
Additional manual filling to allow the addition of water treatment has also been factored in.
The unit is encased in a new design that allows more modular and therefore cheaper production.
Wittmann new Tempro Primus has effectively phased out the company's Tempro Basic 90 in standard version.
The Basic with additional equipment will still be available at the same price, and the Wittmann TP Basic 140 is still available in all units.
