1. Product Introduction (Key Points)

  • Specialized temperature control device for die-casting molds, ensuring stable heat distribution to improve part quality and reduce defects.

  • Features PID intelligent control with ±0.1℃ temperature precision, adapting to 50-300℃ working range (water-cooled: 50-120℃; oil-cooled: 50-300℃).

  • Supports 1-6 temperature zones for multi-cavity molds, enabling independent control of different mold areas.

  • Compatible with aluminum, zinc, and magnesium alloy die-casting machines (e.g., LH, Yizumi, Haitian) and various heat transfer fluids (water, thermal oil).

  • Integrates real-time fault monitoring (over-temperature, low fluid level) with automatic alarms to minimize downtime.

  • Equips a user-friendly touchscreen interface and supports remote data access for factory-wide production management.

2. Product Description

Our LH Mold Temperature Controller was inspired by a collaboration with a Chinese aluminum die-casting factory in 2022. The factory faced a critical challenge: their old controller had inconsistent temperature control (fluctuations up to ±5℃), leading to 18% of cast parts having shrinkage defects. Additionally, the manual temperature adjustment process required a worker to monitor the controller 24/7, increasing labor costs. Worse, sudden over-temperature failures caused 2-3 hours of unplanned downtime monthly, delaying order delivery. Our R&D team spent 8 months optimizing the control algorithm and heat transfer system, focusing on precision, automation, and fault resistance—resulting in this controller that directly addresses these pain points.
Visually, the controller has a compact, industrial-grade stainless steel cabinet with a smooth, fingerprint-resistant finish—no dents or rough edges, exuding durability. When you touch the 7-inch touchscreen, the anti-glare glass feels cool and responsive, even after 12 hours of operation, with taps registering instantly (no lag) for quick parameter adjustments. The cabinet’s door opens smoothly with a soft “click” and stays in place at any angle, making it easy to access internal components for maintenance. During operation, the controller emits a faint, steady hum (around 52 decibels)—quieter than a desktop fan—so it doesn’t add noise to busy workshops. You’ll notice the LED temperature display stays bright and clear even in harsh factory lighting, showing real-time values that rarely deviate from the set point. The heat transfer fluid inlet/outlet ports have sturdy brass connectors that feel solid when attaching hoses, with no leaks even after months of use. Every detail—from the color-coded wiring (easy to trace for repairs) to the dust-proof vents (preventing metal particle buildup)—is designed to make die-casting temperature management hassle-free for B2B users.

3. Product Features and Highlights

  • Ultra-Precise Temperature Control: Adopts a dual-core PID control algorithm (50x/second data sampling) that maintains ±0.1℃ temperature stability—far better than the ±2-5℃ of generic controllers. This consistency eliminates shrinkage, warping, and surface blemishes in cast parts. A factory producing aluminum auto brackets reported their defect rate dropped from 18% to 3% after switching, saving $15,000/year in scrap material. For multi-cavity molds, the 1-6 independent temperature zones ensure each cavity has identical heat, so 99% of parts meet size standards (vs. 85% with single-zone controllers).

  • Energy-Efficient Heat Transfer: Equips a high-efficiency heating tube (95% thermal conversion rate) and a variable-speed circulation pump. The pump adjusts speed based on temperature demand—reducing power consumption by 20% compared to fixed-speed pumps. A zinc die-casting factory running 3 shifts/day cut monthly electricity bills by $400. The oil-cooled model also has a heat recovery system that redirects excess heat to preheat cold fluid, further saving energy and shortening warm-up time (from 30 minutes to 15 minutes).

  • Intelligent Fault Protection & Alerts: Monitors 8 key parameters (temperature, fluid level, pump pressure, etc.) in real time. If over-temperature (exceeds set value by 10℃) or low fluid level occurs, the controller automatically shuts down the heating system and triggers a visual/audible alarm (80dB, visible 50 meters away). It also logs fault data (time, type) for later analysis—helping maintenance teams identify recurring issues. A magnesium die-casting client avoided a $10,000 mold repair cost when the controller detected a low oil level and shut down before the heating tube burned out.

  • Seamless Automation & Data Integration: Supports Modbus-RTU and Ethernet protocols, enabling connection to die-casting machine PLCs and factory MES systems. This allows remote setting of temperature parameters (via computer/phone) and real-time data sharing—critical for 24/7 unmanned production. A Mexican factory used this feature to manage 10 controllers from a central office, reducing on-site supervision by 50%. The touchscreen also stores 100+ production recipes (e.g., “ADC12 aluminum wheel mold,” “ZAMAK 5 phone case mold”), so operators can switch between orders in 30 seconds (vs. 5 minutes of manual reconfiguration).

  • Durable & Low-Maintenance Design: The heating tube is made of Incoloy 800 (corrosion-resistant to thermal oil and water), with a service life of 8,000 hours—twice that of ordinary stainless steel tubes. The cabinet has an IP54 protection rating, blocking dust and splashing fluid (common in die-casting workshops) from damaging internal components. Maintenance is simple: the fluid tank has a large cleaning port (100mm diameter) that allows easy removal of sediment, and the filter is replaceable in 2 minutes (no tools needed). A European client reported spending only 2 hours/month on maintenance, vs. 8 hours with their old controller.

5. Application Scenarios

This controller is tailored to solve temperature-related pain points in various die-casting scenarios, delivering targeted value for B2B users:
  • Aluminum Alloy Die-Casting (Auto Parts): Ideal for molds producing engine brackets, wheel hubs, and transmission components. The ±0.1℃ precision ensures uniform aluminum solidification, eliminating internal pores that cause part failure under stress. A Chinese auto parts supplier used the 4-zone water-cooled model for a 6-cavity bracket mold, increasing production yield from 82% to 97% and winning a $500,000 annual order from a European car brand.

  • Zinc Alloy Die-Casting (Consumer Electronics): Perfect for small parts like phone casings, laptop hinges, and hardware. The oil-cooled model’s 50-300℃ range adapts to zinc’s low melting point (419℃), while the fast warm-up (15 minutes) supports quick mold changes for multi-variety production. A Vietnamese electronics factory running 5 controllers reduced order lead time from 7 days to 3 days, enabling them to take on more custom orders.

  • Magnesium Alloy Die-Casting (Aerospace Components): Suitable for lightweight parts like drone frames and aircraft interior components. The strict fault protection (over-temperature shutdown) prevents magnesium oxidation caused by overheating, ensuring parts meet aerospace material standards (e.g., ASTM B94). A U.S. aerospace supplier passed NASA’s quality audit after switching to this controller, expanding their client base.

  • Multi-Cavity Molds (High-Volume Production): The 1-6 independent zones are critical for molds with 8+ cavities (e.g., zinc hardware molds). A Chinese hardware factory used the 6-zone oil-cooled model to control a 12-cavity bolt mold, ensuring each bolt had identical length (variation ≤0.05mm) and reducing sorting time by 2 hours/shift.

  • Custom Die-Casting (Small Batches): The 100+ recipe storage is ideal for workshops producing custom parts (e.g., medical device components). A German medical die-caster can now switch between 12 different mold recipes in 30 seconds each, serving 8 clients with small orders (500-1,000 pieces) without sacrificing efficiency.

6. Core Advantages (Solving B2B Pain Points)

  • Reduce Defect & Rework Costs: The ±0.1℃ precision cuts defect rates by 70-80% on average. For a factory producing 10,000 die-cast parts/month, this saves $8,000-12,000/year in scrap material and rework labor. Unlike generic controllers that require manual adjustment (and human error), the PID algorithm maintains consistency 24/7.

  • Lower Energy & Labor Expenses: The 20% energy savings and remote monitoring reduce utility bills by $300-500/month per controller. The automated operation also eliminates the need for dedicated workers to monitor temperature, freeing up 1-2 laborers per shift to focus on higher-value tasks (e.g., quality inspection).

  • Minimize Downtime & Maintenance: The fault protection system prevents 90% of unexpected shutdowns, while the durable components (Incoloy heating tube, IP54 cabinet) reduce maintenance time by 75% (from 8 hours/month to 2 hours). A factory with 8 controllers saved 48 hours/year in maintenance, equivalent to $2,400 in labor costs.

  • Meet Strict Industry Standards: The controller’s CE, ISO 9001, and RoHS certifications help B2B users comply with international regulations. For exporters, this eliminates barriers to markets like the EU and North America. A Turkish die-caster used the controller’s certification to enter the German market, increasing exports by 35%.

  • Adapt to Flexible Production: The 100+ recipe storage and multi-zone control let manufacturers handle both high-volume, single-part production and small-batch, multi-variety orders. This flexibility is critical in today’s die-casting industry, where customer demands for customization are growing. A Chinese factory increased its client count from 5 to 12 by using the controller to support diverse order types.

7. Usage & Maintenance Guide

Proper operation and maintenance ensure long-term precision and reliability—here’s a B2B-focused guide:
  • Pre-Operation Preparation:

    1. Confirm the heat transfer fluid type: Use deionized water (water-cooled) or thermal oil (viscosity 20-80cSt for oil-cooled). Avoid tap water with high mineral content (causes scale buildup) or oil with impurities (clogs the pump).

    1. Check fluid level: Fill the tank to 80% capacity (marked on the tank). Low fluid level causes overheating of the heating tube—one of the top 3 reasons for component failure.

    1. Inspect connections: Ensure the mold’s inlet/outlet hoses are tightly attached to the controller’s brass ports (use a wrench to tighten to 15N·m). Leaks cause 40% of temperature fluctuations.

    1. Power on and calibrate: Turn on the controller, select the fluid type, and run a calibration test (built-in function). The controller will automatically adjust the sensor for ±0.1℃ precision—this takes 5 minutes and should be done monthly.

  • Daily Operation Steps:

    1. Select the recipe: On the touchscreen, choose the saved recipe for the current mold (e.g., “ADC12 Wheel Hub”). The controller will automatically set temperature, pump speed, and zone parameters.

    1. Start the circulation pump first: Wait 2 minutes for fluid to circulate (ensures even heating) before turning on the heating system.

    1. Monitor real-time data: Check the temperature display every hour. If fluctuations exceed ±0.3℃, inspect the fluid filter (clogged filters reduce flow and cause instability).

    1. Record production data: Use the controller’s data logging function to save temperature trends, cycle times, and fault records. This helps identify issues (e.g., gradual temperature drift) before they cause defects.

  • Regular Maintenance Schedule:

    1. Daily: Drain and clean the fluid filter (located at the pump inlet). A clogged filter reduces flow by 30%—cleaning takes 2 minutes with a brush.

    1. Weekly: Inspect the heating tube for scale (water-cooled) or oil residue (oil-cooled). For water-cooled models, add a scale inhibitor (10ml per 10L of water) to prevent buildup. For oil-cooled models, check oil viscosity (use a viscometer) and replace if it exceeds 80cSt.

    1. Monthly: Perform a full calibration (as in pre-operation) and inspect the cabinet’s interior for dust (use compressed air to blow away dust from the circuit board). Dust causes 25% of electrical failures.

    1. Annually: Replace the heating tube (even if it’s working—performance degrades after 8,000 hours) and the circulation pump’s seal (prevents leaks). Our after-sales team can provide on-site replacement for bulk orders.

10. FAQ

  • Q1: Is the LH Mold Temperature Controller compatible with my existing die-casting machine (e.g., Yizumi DM500)?

A: Yes. Our controller is designed to work with all major die-casting machine brands (LH, Yizumi, Haitian, Toshiba, Ube) via standard hose connections (G1/2” or NPT 1/2” ports). We also provide adapter kits for non-standard ports at no extra cost. Simply send us your machine model and mold’s inlet/outlet size—our technical team will confirm compatibility within 1 hour and provide a connection diagram.
  • Q2: How often do I need to replace the heat transfer fluid (water or oil)?

A: For water-cooled models: Use deionized water with a scale inhibitor, and replace it every 3 months. For oil-cooled models: Use thermal oil with viscosity 20-80cSt, and replace it every 6 months (or when viscosity exceeds 80cSt). The controller’s touchscreen has a fluid replacement reminder (you can set the interval) that alerts you when it’s time—this prevents 80% of fluid-related failures.
  • Q3: Can the controller be customized for molds with more than 6 temperature zones?

A: Yes. We offer custom models with up to 12 temperature zones for large, complex molds (e.g., automotive dashboard molds with 16 cavities). Customization includes adding extra sensors, independent heating tubes, and a larger touchscreen (10-inch) to display all zones. Lead time for custom models is 3 weeks, and they come with the same 2-year warranty as standard models. A Chinese auto parts factory uses a 10-zone custom model for a dashboard mold, reducing temperature variation between cavities from ±2℃ to ±0.1℃.
  • Q4: How do I calibrate the controller if the temperature reading is inaccurate?

A: The controller has a built-in calibration function that takes 5 minutes: 1) Go to the “Settings” menu and select “Calibration”; 2) Insert a certified temperature sensor (we can provide one for $50) into the fluid tank; 3) The controller will automatically compare its reading with the certified sensor and adjust for ±0.1℃ precision. We recommend doing this monthly. If you need help, our technical team can guide you via video call—no professional calibration tools required.
