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 12kW and high flow rate pumps up to 90 litres/min as well as air purging for mould changes.

Control enhancements save 30% drying energy costs
By enhancing the microprocessor control on portable plastics materials dryers, energy bills savings of some 30% have been realised.
Portable plastics dryer optimises conditions
Portable dryer with advanced valves and integrated microprocessor control on the dual hopper configuration offers for optimum drying efficiency for plastics processing.
Wittmann's Tempro Basic 90 now offers water heating to 90degC or oil heating to 150degC.
Included as standard are low-watt density incoloy heat and air-purging for mould changes.
Wittmann's new Tempro direct 120 now offers direct water-based cooling for temperatures up to 120degC.
The controller is fitted with a self-optimising microprocessor control (+/- 1degC) for temperatures up to 120 C.
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 Wittmann's 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 (+/-1degC), 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's 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.
