All You Need to Know About Oil Mold Temperature Controllers

Oil Mold Temperature Controller Pump and Heater

Oil mold temperature controllers are widely used in plastic injection molding, die casting, rubber forming, composite molding and chemical reaction processes, wherever the mold or equipment must be held at a high, stable temperature.

Thermal oil is the heat transfer medium. A circulation pump sends the heated oil from the built-in oil tank through the mold and back. The heater switches on below the set value and off once it is reached. Standard models work up to 200°C and high-temperature models up to 300°C. The return oil is cooled indirectly by a plate heat exchanger, so the oil and cooling water never mix.

Digital PID control holds the temperature within ±1°C. Protection includes phase loss and reverse phase, oil shortage, over-temperature, pump overload and heater failure alarms, and a fault code table on the panel shows the cause. The integrated 304 stainless steel piping reduces flow resistance and scale build-up. For maintenance, regularly check the oil level and connections, and change the thermal oil every 6 to 12 months.

Why Choose an Oil Mold Temperature Controller?

Oil controllers reach a higher temperature than water controllers at the same power: up to 200°C for standard models and up to 300°C for high-temperature models. Thermal oil conducts heat well, heats quickly, and holds a precise constant temperature with small fluctuations, which keeps product quality stable in high-temperature molding. Because the oil is cooled indirectly through a plate heat exchanger, the oil never mixes with cooling water. The trade-off is that thermal oil must be checked and replaced every 6 to 12 months, and the water controller is the better choice when the process stays below about 180°C.

Protection Functions

Phase Sequence Protection
Protection functions can be customized to your requirements. The machine alarms and shuts down when a phase is missing or reversed, which avoids equipment damage.
Oil Shortage Protection
A level switch monitors the oil in the expansion tank and alarms when the oil is too low.
Over-temperature Protection
An over-temperature safety device (EGO) on the heater, plus an alarm when the oil overheats.
Pump Overload and Pump Reverse Protection
The pump is protected against overload and wrong rotation.
Heater Disconnection Alarm
If a heating tube is open-circuit or damaged, the system alarms so it can be replaced in time.
Pressure Protection and Safe Oil Circuit
A pressure switch and pressure gauge monitor the oil circuit. An advanced circuit design prevents high-temperature bursting if the oil circuit fails, and the safety valve and bypass line regulate pressure. The machine detects faults automatically and shows them on the indicator lights and panel; the fault code table below the panel means no manual is needed.

How to Choose an Oil Mold Temperature Controller

Choose the right temperature, heating power and pump capacity for your molding process.

Find the Right Model

Our oil temperature controllers are available in standard models up to 200°C and high-temperature models up to 300°C.

Working Temperature

Up to 200°C / 300°C

Choose a standard model (up to 200°C) for most molds, or a high-temperature model (up to 300°C) when the process needs more. Both use indirect cooling.

Heating Power

6 to 36 kW (6 / 9 / 12 / 18 / 24 / 36 kW). Do not choose by the tonnage of the injection machine alone, because it is too rough and can waste power or leave the mold under-heated. Use one of the two methods below.

View heating power formulas

Quick workshop formula: Heating power (kW) ≈ mold weight (kg) × coefficient (0.018 to 0.025).

  • Use 0.018 for general products, PP/ABS, and mold temperature below 80°C.
  • Use 0.022 to 0.025 for transparent parts, PC, glass fiber materials, mold temperature above 90°C, and thin-wall high-speed production.
  • Example: a 350 kg mold, PC material, 100°C mold temperature. Use 0.022: 350 × 0.022 = 7.7 kW, so select the next standard size, 9 kW.

Precise formula (to check high-power models and special mold conditions): KW = (W × ΔT × 0.11 × S) / (860 × T)

  • W: mold weight (kg)
  • ΔT: target mold temperature minus ambient temperature (°C)
  • 0.11: specific heat of steel (kcal/kg·°C)
  • S: safety factor, usually 1.3 to 1.5
  • T: time to reach the target temperature (hours), generally 0.5 to 0.75
  • 860: conversion constant between kW and kcal
  • Example: a 200 kg steel mold heated from 20°C to 150°C in 0.5 hour with S = 1.4: (200 × 130 × 0.11 × 1.4) / (860 × 0.5) ≈ 9.3 kW, so select 12 kW.

If the mold weight is unknown: measure the mold length, width and height, then estimate the weight from the volume using a mold steel density of about 7.85 tons per cubic meter.

Insulation plates: the higher the mold temperature, the faster it loses heat. Insulation plates between the mold and the machine platen reduce heat loss and improve heating efficiency.

Pump Flow & Pressure

Pump power 0.37 to 4.0 kW, flow 27 to 200 L/min, pressure 3.8 to 8.0 bar. Match the flow to the number of mold circuits.

Mold Weight

Calculate heating power using the formulas above.

Pump Selection

Check flow and pressure

Mold Connections

6 kW: 2-in 2-out; 9–18 kW: 4-in 4-out. Dual-zone models control two temperatures separately.

Heating Time

Meet your cycle needs. PID control holds ±1°C.

Temperature Accuracy

Stable PID control within ±1°C.

Custom Options

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should the thermal oil be changed?

Every six months to a year, depending on working temperature and how often the machine runs. If it often works near 200°C, change it about once a year to prevent the oil from carbonizing and losing heat transfer performance. If the machine runs at high temperature but rarely, the change can be delayed. If the oil degrades or water mixes in, change it at once.

How do I start and stop the machine correctly?

Before starting, check that the expansion tank oil level is above 1/2 to 3/5, the level sensor works and the voltage and display are normal. Start the circulation pump and let it run for about 0.5 hour until the pressure is stable, then start heating. To stop, lower the set temperature, stop heating, wait until the oil is below 70°C, stop the pump, then turn off the main power.

What should I do in an emergency?

Turn off the heating tubes immediately and let the oil cool naturally.

What is the difference between an oil and a water mold temperature controller?

At the same power, oil reaches a higher temperature, conducts heat well, heats quickly and holds a precise constant temperature. Standard oil models reach 200°C and high-temperature models 300°C.

Does the oil circuit mix with the cooling water?

No. The oil is cooled indirectly through a plate heat exchanger, so the oil and the cooling water never mix. The cooling water connects to the cooling water inlet and outlet on the machine.

What does an alarm mean?

The machine alarms for phase loss, oil shortage, over-temperature and overload. The fault code table below the panel tells you the cause.
