Critical Cooling Processes within Plastic Moulding Industry
The cooling process within plastic injection moulding is very critical to the quality of the product being moulded, and takes approximately 50-75% of the total cycle time. Therefore, it is critical to maintain clean, efficient cooling channels capable of removing heat at the required rates. Any deviation to that would result in an inconsistent moulding quality from cycle to cycle.

When mineral deposits from the cooling water drop out of solution and attach to the cooling channel walls of your moulds or heat exchanger tubes of your hydraulic oil coolers, a thermal barrier is created which significantly reduces heat transfer. The resulting uneven temperature of the mould surface (uneven shrinkage) results in parts with moulded-in stresses, warped/twisted sections, sink marks, poor surface appearance and varying part dimensions from cycle to cycle.

Plastic Industry Applications     • Channels in Moulds     • Cooling Channels on Injector Throttle Bodies     • Hydraulic Oil Coolers     • Heat Exchangers     • Water Cooled Chillers     • Water Cooling Towers     • Water Cooled Air Compressors     • Temperature Controllers

Cycle time down? - Inconsistent moulding? Have you checked your cooling channels? Many moulds are running at very poor cooling efficiency without you even knowing it. Over months and years layers of limescale, rust or other debris slowly reduce the bore size of your cooling channels, which can have a dramatic effect on the overall performance of each mould.

Preventative maintenance is so much more affordable than unplanned plant breakdowns and forced shutdowns, that it is hardly worth taking the gamble and risking your production commitments to your customers that rely on your factory to manufacture and deliver their commodities on their time schedule.

ScaleAway descaling solutions fortified with corrosion inhibitors, surfactants, detergent builders and defoamers, designed to dissolve the toughest water scale, lime, mud, and rust deposits from virtually any piece of water-based heat transfer equipment.

ScaleAway scientifically formulated descaling solutions can be utilized to clean an isolated piece of equipment using a ScaleAway System Descaling Cart

The descaling product of choice is ScaleAway Lime-Go which is very fast acting, and most of your applications can be cleaned in a matter of hours.
ScaleAway Lime-Go will dissolve about 1/2 kilogram (500g) of water limescale per five kilograms (5kg) of ScaleAway Lime-Go.

Temperature Control Unit Heat Exchangers
Support equipment, such as chillers, exchangers, temperature controllers and cooling towers are a vital part of your operation and can only afford you efficient operation when kept clean of water scale, lime and rust deposits.

Call today and speak to one of our experienced technicians for more detailed instructions on in-house descaling when using the ScaleAway System Descaling Cart or ScaleAway’s Scheduled Preventative Maintenance Plan for your water operated equipment. Any type of water cooled heat transfer equipment can usually be cleaned with ScaleAway descaling products. Hydraulic oil coolers that become fouled with water scale, lime and rust deposits will eventually cause a shutdown and replacement of expensive production equipment.

Periodic cleaning of your hydraulic oil coolers and other heat transfer equipment will keep them operating efficiently.

ScaleAway descaling products are our solution to your over heating problems.

Heat transfer efficiency is reduced by 30% with only 1mm of limescale build-up! The thicker the scaling the less efficient your heat transfer equipment is!!!
