Microgel Syncro
Microgel Syncro represents an innovative technological advancement from Frigel, transforming the temperature control process for injection moulding of technical components.
This cutting-edge Microgel Syncro technology delivers remarkable benefits in the injection moulding process, including a substantial reduction in cycle time by up to 40%, ensuring the production of high-quality products. In perfect digital harmony with the mould, Microgel Syncro exclusively supplies cold water during the cooling phase, leading to a significant reduction in cooling time while maintaining optimal mould cavity temperatures during the injection phase.
This technology revolutionises the way temperature control is managed in injection moulding, allowing for faster and more efficient production while maintaining the quality of the final products.
Digital Synchronisation
The technology is digitally synchronised with the mould cycle, ensuring that the cooling process aligns perfectly with the production requirements. This contributes to optimal part quality and cycle time.
Parameter Storage
Microgel Syncro offers the ability to memorise and store parameters for each mould, known as "recipes." This feature simplifies setup and ensures consistency in production quality across different moulds.
Energy Analysis
The system provides real-time analysis of energy consumption, measured in kWh/kg. This data allows you to monitor energy efficiency and make informed decisions for further optimisation.
Remote Connectivity
Microgel Syncro typically offers integrated remote connectivity, enabling you to monitor and control the system remotely. This feature enhances convenience and ensures you can manage your processes from anywhere.
Online Recipe Finding
The technology often includes an online wizard for recipe finding specific to your moulds. This simplifies the setup process, especially for new moulds, by guiding operators through the configuration steps.
A New Modern Cooling Concept
Synchronising the cooling with the injection phase it is possible to:
- Reduce the cycle time
- Increase the production rate
- Optimise the product quality
- Reduce the operating costs (less scraps and energy saving)
- Signal exchanges allows for a full integration between IMM and Microgel Syncro
- Have perfect reparability and high productivity
- Find and memorise the best cooling conditions
Designed for Cycle Time Reduction
During the cooling phase, the plastic develops a crystalline structure and becomes solid with the required dimensions, strength, and aesthetic qualities.
By synchronising the cooling water flow with the moulding cycle, Microgel Syncro drastically reduces the cooling time which, in turn, leads to a significant reduction of total cycle time.
