Temperature controllers ensure reliable
products
Controlling annealing and end tempering furnace temperatures precisely is a key factor in producing steels for razor blades as well as using sensors in the moulding systems for the razor bodies.
Supermax Corp of India, the world's second largest manufacturer of disposable razor blades said that the key to achieving a good quality product depends greatly, but not exclusively, on the precise control of temperature within furnaces used for making the steel, and in annealing and end tempering furnaces in razor blade manufacture Eurotherm controllers are used in both applications as well as in the injection moulding process for the razor body and in special purpose printing machines
