Description
Summary:One US automotive injection molder, Automotive Components Div of Windsor Mold, has seen the benefits of rethinking the typical cooling system found in plastics plants. One benefit is more consistent temperature control. The other is cleaner cooling water, which results in better productivity, higher product quality, and longer mold life. The company first saw the advantages of a non-traditional, "closed-loop" cooling system at Windsor Mold's Autoplas molding operation in Bellevue, Ohio. The closed-loop cooling system for a new plant opened in Bellevue in 1997 for a sister company, Precision Automotive Plastics (a Tier 1 automotive injection molder), was designed and installed by Engineered Process Cooling Systems (EPCS) of Huron, Ohio.
