Temperature control units (TCUs) Technotrans’ models representing four lines — the base.line, high.line, eco.line and flex.line — range from cost-optimized basic units to large central systems with outputs in the megawatt range. Like all Technotrans technologies, they have an OPC-UA interface, which enables real-time monitoring and direct communication with connected machines, such as injection molding machines or extruders. They also feature a gesture-enabled 7-inch multi-touch HMI. UL-certified versions are available.
What’s new? A smaller design with an adapted, uniform appearance.
Benefits Operating and service convenience, reliability, economical performance, an advanced level of digitalization, and energy efficiency, with a reduced carbon dioxide output.
