Proven Performance for Plastics & Rubber
For more than 50 years, leading plastics manufacturers have counted on Frigel to help them optimize the efficiency and uptime of their production using Intelligent Process Cooling technology.
Injection, Blow Molding & Thermoforming
Today, thousands of spray, blow and thermoforming manufacturers benefit from the efficiencies and cost savings that Frigel’s closed-loop process cooling technology provides.
The Ecodry system – with integrated adiabatic liquid cooler and machine-side microgel chiller and temperature control unit combinations or Turbogel TCUs – is proven to shorten cycle times and get the highest productivity from molding while consuming far less energy.
Key Advantages
Energy Cost Reduction. The Ecodry system can help by reducing the energy costs of plastic process cooling by up to 95 percent compared to air-cooled central cooling systems.
Water and Environment Conservation. Unlike cooling tower systems, process water does not evaporate in Ecodry’s closed system, resulting in water savings of up to 97 percent. Furthermore, the water is never exposed to outside elements, which gives a big boost to sustainability efforts.
Repeatability. Frigel process cooling technology offers controllability of water temperature, flow and pressure on each machine and the ability to automatically preheat, fill and drain molds.
Extrusion
Providing clean water and tight temperature control for cooling machines, chill rolls, air rings, air compressors, pipe/profile tanks, etc., Frigel helps extruders maximize reliability and precision for a clear edge in productivity over traditional cooling tower and central chiller systems.
Key Advantages
Low Operating Costs. With an energy consumption of 0.015 kWhr/kW (0.05 kWhr/ton) and “free cooling” capabilities, the Ecodry system saves money for extruders every day.
- Higher Productivity. The precise temperature control of the modular system for your extrusion lines means more precise cooling.
- Simple Installation. With a single set of non insulated pipes – and no need for gravity returns or underground “swimming pools” – it’s easy to start enjoying the benefits of Frigel’s closed-loop cooling technology.
Free cooling met Frigel
Save up to 80% energy costs – with Frigel’s unique “free cooling” function.
In situations where your process setpoints and local environmental conditions permit, Intelligent Process Cooling technology allows an Ecodry to provide clean cooling water at the correct temperature without using a chiller.
