How to Choose an Industrial Chiller for the Small and Medium Size IML Yogurt Cups Production System?

In a high speed IML Yogurt cups injection molding system, a perfect chilling system is an indispensible part , whichi will help to to accelerate the cooling process of the parts in mold and reduce the injection cycle time of the IML system. A more efficient IML system will help the producers of the IML Yogurt cups get their investment back faster. For a samll and medium size producer of the IML Yogurt cups, you can choose a box type air cooling industrial chiller or whater cooling industrial chiller for each injection molding machine, or a screw chiller with a water tower for the injection molding machines of the whole factory. Below we'll discuss the advantages of each of the solutions.

The Air Cooling Industrial Chiller

A box type air cooling industrial chiller is an industrial refrigeration unit that cools the water to be circulated inside the mould of the IML Yogurt cups injection molding system of which will have the warm water come out of the mold flows to the chiller's evaporator where the heat transfers to a refrigerant of which will give up its heat to the ambient air. The fans of the air cooling industrial chiller draw in outside air to blow over the condenser coils cooling the refrigerant.

A box type air cooling industrial chiller has below advantages:

  • With high quality water pumps installed, a box type air cooling industrial chiller is safe, quiet, power-saving and durable.
  • A computer controlled thermostat makes the box type air cooling industrial chiller easy operating with a wide temperature range from 5°C ~ 25°C.
  • A shell-and-tube condenser which has remarkable heat exchange effect and easy cleaning and is suitable for high temperature environments.

The Water Cooling Industrial Chiller

Different from the air cooling industrial chiller to have the heat from the warm circulating water to the ambient air, a water cooling industrial chiller will have the heat of the condenser absorbed by external cooling water usually with a water tower. Compared to the air cooling industrial chiller, a water cooling industrial chiller is more efficient and would be less influenced by the environment temperature.

The Screw Type Industrial Chiller

A scre-type industrial chiller works by circulating a refrigerant through a continuous cooling cycle involving an evaporator, a screw compressor, a condenser and an expansion valve to absorb heat from a process and transfer it to a coolant, which mostly will be water in an injection molding plant for IML Yogurt cups production. It's an efficient solutions of chilling water circulating for the injection molding machines with a chilled water temperature ±3°C ~ ±5°C.

Which type of industrial chiller would be the best one for your IML Yogurt cups production plant? It'll depends on the scale of your project. It's no doubt that a screw type of industrial chiller with water tower would be an efficient solution if you have a couple of injection molding machines in production of the IML Yogurt cups. But if there's a short supply of the water in your plants and there're only one or two injection molding machines, an air cooling box type of industrial chiller would be a price smart solution.

Q & A About Robotic Arms and Injection Automation

YIZUMI P350 or P380K3, which one would be a better choice for your IML project?

P350 is a high speed injection molding machine designed for thin-wall containers while P380K3 is the third generation of high speed injection molding machine by YIZUMI designed for thin-wall containers. With 30 Tons more in clamping force, does it mean that P380K3 will compatible to the molds designed according to the parameters of P350?

In one just finished IML project we encountered something embrassing. There's one mold designed according to the parameter of YIZUMI P350, and we have a P380K3 in our system testing workshop, but when the mold received we find that the mold thinkness exceeded the max mold thickness of the P380K3. After double check the parameters of both the injection molding machine we found that Mold thickness allowed for P350 is 300~750mm while the mold thickness for P380K3 is only 250~650mm. And the Max Daylight of P380K3 is 160mm less than P350.

Then how to choose between, which one would be a better choice for your IML project? It would be depends on the size of the parts of which you're producing. For smaller container 30 Tons more clamping force with 160mm less max daylight means that the injection molding machine will have a less mold Open/Close time and result in a higher productivity while for larger size containers P350 will allow you to install a thicker mold, it would be more friendly to an IML project of deep cavity containers.
