If you’re still using an oil-type mold temperature controller, you might be spending more on maintenance, safety, and energy than you think.
Here’s why many manufacturers are upgrading to Yushine’s 180°C high-temperature water-type system — a cleaner, safer, and more efficient solution for modern injection molding.
Why Consider a 180°C Water-Type System?
Meet production needs without overheating your budget.
Many manufacturers, when faced with the choice between a water-type mold temperature controller capable of reaching 180°C and an oil-type model, often ask the same question: Which should we choose?
A standard water-type MTC typically reaches only 120°C.To achieve 180°C, a pressurized circulation system is required — slightly more costly but capable of meeting almost all injection molding requirements. Since most molding applications don’t exceed 180°C, the water-type system is efficient, economical, and environmentally friendly, making it the preferred option for most factories.
Operating Cost Advantage
Save energy, save money — up to 15% less power consumption.
The water-type MTC has a clear cost advantage.
Water is almost free, while thermal oil is costly and must be replaced regularly.
With better heat retention and faster heat transfer, the water system can save about 15% of energy under normal operating conditions.
Maintenance Cost
Stay clean, stay efficient — zero oil sludge or oxidation.
Water System: Simple, low-cost, and stable. Water doesn’t oxidize or create carbon buildup, keeping the system clean.
Oil System: High upkeep. Thermal oil oxidizes and thickens, requiring full cleaning and replacement every 3–6 months, leading to higher costs and downtime.
Safety Operation
No flames, no worries — safer for operators and workshops.
Water-Type MTC: The main risk is pressure, as it raises the boiling point of water. Even if a pipe or seal fails, water or steam discharge poses no fire hazard.
Oil-Type MTC: Uses flammable thermal oil that can leak, emit fumes, or ignite when exposed to air or flame, creating potential safety risks for operators and equipment.
Overall Evaluation
Stable, accurate, and fast — everything your mold needs.
Both systems have safety protections (e.g., safety valves or oil leak alarms).
However, water-type MTCs pose a physical pressure risk, while oil-type MTCs pose a chemical flammability risk.
In real-world performance, the water-type MTC stands out for:
- Higher Accuracy: Temperature control up to ±0.1°C.
- Better Stability: Water doesn’t age or thicken like oil.
- Faster Response: Quick heating and cooling for precise temperature recovery.
For temperatures below 180°C, the water-type system performs better in accuracy, stability, and energy efficiency.
