1.What is Vacuum Forming?
Vacuum forming, often referred to as vacuum forming, is a simplified version of Vacuum Forming in which a piece of plastic (various forms of HIPS (high impact polystyrene) for low impact products, or ABS for bathroom shower trays, and HDPE for exterior vehicle parts, and various other types The vacuum forming material) is heated to molding temperature, stretched onto a single-surface mold, and forced against the mold by vacuum. This process can be used to turn plastic into permanent objects such as toll road signs and protective covers. There is usually a draft angle (recommended minimum of 3°) in the mold design to facilitate the removal of the molded plastic parts from the mold.
The vacuum forming process can be used to make most product packages, speakers and even car dashboards.
2.What is A Vacuum Forming Chiller?
A Vacuum Forming chiller is a specialized type of chiller machine designed specifically for use in Vacuum Forming processes. It is a refrigeration system that provides controlled and precise cooling to the molds and equipment used in Vacuum Forming operations.
Vacuum Forming chillers work by circulating coolant through the cold side of the process water system, removing excess heat from the mold and transferring the heat to the surrounding environment.
When it comes to cooling your Vacuum Forming process, quality and reliability should be your top considerations when choosing the right Vacuum Forming chiller.
Vacuum Forming Chiller
Here are some of the main features and functions of vacuum forming chillers:
Precision Cooling: Vacuum forming chillers are designed to provide precise and consistent cooling of molds and equipment involved in the vacuum forming process. This is critical to achieving accurate part dimensions and minimizing defects.
Rapid cooling capability: Vacuum forming chillers are designed to effectively reduce the temperature of molded plastic parts, shorten cycle times and improve production efficiency.
Temperature Range: They are capable of maintaining a controlled temperature range suitable for specific vacuum forming operations. This ensures that the plastic material remains flexible during the molding process and then cools quickly to maintain its shape.
Efficiency and Energy Saving: Vacuum formed chillers are typically designed with energy saving features to minimize energy consumption while still providing optimal cooling performance. This helps reduce operating costs.
Reliability and Durability: Vacuum forming chillers can withstand the harsh conditions of the vacuum forming process. They are constructed from sturdy materials and components to ensure reliable and long-lasting operation.
Safety features: They may be equipped with safety features such as temperature alarms, pressure controls and fail-safe devices to prevent overheating or other potential problems.
Control system: Vacuum forming chillers often include advanced control systems that can accurately adjust temperature settings and monitor the cooling process.
the vacuum forming chiller is a key part in the vacuum forming operation and plays a key role in achieving high-quality, accurately formed plastic parts. It provides the necessary cooling to ensure that vacuum formed products meet required specifications and quality standards,so please choose a suitable vacuum forming chiller , contact us now
3.Why Need A Industrial Chiller Used In Vacuum Forming Process?
A Vacuum Forming chiller is an essential part in Vacuum Forming process, which contributing to the production of high-quality, dimensionally accurate, and aesthetically pleasing plastic parts. It plays a crucial role in controlling the temperature during the cooling phase of the process, which ultimately impacts the final quality and performance of the thermoformed products.
Cooling the Mold: Similar to other forming processes, Vacuum Forming involves heating the material (in this case, thermoplastic sheet) to make it pliable and shapeable. Once the plastic sheet has been formed into the desired shape using a mold, it needs to cool and solidify quickly to maintain its shape. A Vacuum Forming chiller provides the necessary cooling to achieve this.
Maintain accuracy and dimensional stability: Thermoformed parts often require precise dimensions and consistent quality. Proper cooling ensures that formed parts maintain their accurate shape and size, reducing the possibility of warping or deformation.
Reduce stress and improve material properties: Controlled and uniform cooling helps reduce thermal stress on formed parts. This is important to prevent defects such as cracks, warping, or surface imperfections. Furthermore, it helps achieve the desired material properties in the final product.
Enhanced surface finish: Rapid and controlled cooling helps achieve a smoother and more consistent surface finish on vacuumform parts. This is especially important for applications where appearance and aesthetics are critical.
Prevent equipment wear and damage: Proper cooling helps extend the life of Vacuum Forming molds and equipment. Rapid cooling reduces the potential for thermal stress on the mold, which can lead to premature wear and damage.
4.What’s the Difference Between Air-cooled & Water-cooled Vacuum Forming Chillers?
There are two types of Injection Moldingchiller: one is air-cooled Vacuum Forming chiller ,the other is water-cooled Vacuum Forming chiller ;
Air-cooled Vacuum Forming chillers use ambient air to dissipate heat from the brewing processes. They are energy-efficient, space-saving, and less maintenance that helps save money.
Water-cooled Vacuum Forming chillers use water from an external water cooling tower to dissipate heat from the brewing processes. These systems are longer lifespan, Relatively quiet, and more consistent cooling performance than the air-cooled Vacuum Formingchiller.
Water-cooled Vacuum Forming chillers use water from an external water cooling tower to dissipate heat from the brewing processes. These systems are longer lifespan, Relatively quiet, and more consistent cooling performance than the air-cooled Vacuum Formingchiller.

6.2 Evaporator
The evaporator is a crucial component of air-cooled water chiller, as it is responsible for extracting heat from the liquid being cooled,it is located between the compressor and the expansion valve. There are three types of evaporators : coil in water tank evaporator , shell and tube evaporator, 304SS stainless steel plate type evaporator.

6.4 Condenser
The condenser for air-cooled Vacuum Forming cooler is equipped with efficient cross-seam fins and female threaded copper tubes for high heat exchange efficiency and good stability.Its function is to cool down the refrigerant steam released from the compressor into a liquid or gas-liquid mixture.
Aluminum fin+fan Condenser for air -cooled Vacuum Formingchiller
The condenser for water-cooled Vacuum Forming cooler is shell and tube ,with the internal copper tubes employing an outer thread embossing process.This design effectively enhances the heat exchange efficiency between the refrigerant and water during the process. Compared to traditional smooth copper tubes, the outer thread embossing process increases the surface area of the copper tubes, thereby expanding the contact area for heat exchange and improving the thermal conductivity of the condenser. This optimization design allows the condenser of the water-cooled chiller to transfer heat from the refrigerant to the water more rapidly and consistently, enabling the water to carry away the heat.

Water cooled chiller needs a separated water cooling tower and water cooling pump ,if you don‘t have exsiting water cooling tower,we suggest you use air cooled chiller; But if your ambiemt temperature is very high above 55℃ ,we suggest you use water cooled chiller , as it is easier to dissipate heat for water cooled chiller with water cooling tower.
But Most customers use air cooled Injection Moldingchiller ,which is more easily install and save space.

Whether chillers need built-in Tank or not？
In a chiller system, a tank is usually equipped to buffer the thermal load of the chiller.
But should we choose a built-in type of tank or an external type of tank?
A chiller with a built-in tank is easier to install and can be used simply by connecting a water pipe to your application.
But it has a limited capacity and is not suitable for applications with larger chilled water demands.External tank’s capacity can be customized according to specific needs.
It can buffer a larger heat load, store more chilled water, but the installation will be more troublesome.
If you don‘t have external water tank ,we suggest our chiller built-with water tank ,which is easy for you to install.
