The new Hasco cooling range offered in stainless steel ensures the reliable cooling of injection molds when using hot or cold water or heat-transfer oil. Manufactured entirely from high-quality 1.4305 material, the robust, safe and easily coupled Hasco system is said to guarantee reliable, absolutely leak-proof and durable temperature control applications, including in cleanroom environments.
According to Hasco, the standard temperature components in stainless steel are equipped with optimized FKM quality seals and can be used at temperatures of up to 150°C for water and 200°C for oil.
With high-temperature applications, in particular, the different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of steel and brass result in small leaks from time to time, which are offset by the new stainless steel range. Hasco adds that there is no need for time-consuming additional sealing and the safety of the process is guaranteed throughout. The company additionally offers stainless steel HT components specifically for the high-temperature range, which are equipped with special FKM seals allowing permanent maximum operating temperatures of 180°C for water and up to 220°C for oil.
The compatibility with the standard range further allows for the optimization of existing molds (switching from brass to stainless steel) and enables combinations with standard components, where required.
Component selection has been specially adapted to market requirements. It includes products such as hose clips, sealing plugs and diverting bridges, as well as couplings and connectors. The proven Pushlok range and the safety couplings established on the market round off the Hasco portfolio.
