North American Distribution for System to Track Cooling-Circuit Temperatures, Flow Rates
Globeius is now a North American supplier of Mouldpro’s Flosense 1.0 Flexible Flow Monitoring system for tracking manifold pressures and mold temperatures.
Globeius Inc. is now a North American supplier of Mouldpro’s Flosense 1.0 Flexible Flow Monitoring system. Flosense uses sensors to measure the differences in input and output temperatures (Delta T) and pressures (Delta P) within a mold’s cooling circuit, as well as total flow rate through the system. This tracking enables it to alert technicians in real time about process stability and any potential issues, including waterline blockages or leaks; heater or cooler malfunctions; and more.
Setup involves molders installing the sensors in various locations within the cooling circuit, including at the main water supply, the mold heater, within critical cooling channels or in distribution manifolds. The remote display can be mounted wherever is most convenient.
Additional features and benefits of Flosense 1.0 include magnetic mounting; a standard 4.3-in. touchscreen with four manifold inputs; reduced mold changeover and setup time; and a 30-day data management capability for storage on the system or export via built-in USB port. Altogether, Flosense says the benefits of using the system include the potential for reduced cycle times and greater control over the cooling process.
