Modular platform for heating and cooling in metal and plastic processing

Exact temperature control is a critical factor in many industrial metal and plastic processing sequences. In these scenarios, the requirements regarding temperature control can vary substantially depending on the production conditions. However, what is always required are solutions that guarantee one-hundred-percent repeatability wherever possible to ensure high product quality. They must also be simple to integrate and capable of being extended or converted as required.
