Cycle time reduction
The cooling is optimized via synchronization, with cycle time reductions up to 40%.
Improved part quality
The synchronized control enables advantages in terms of quality of the parts.
Energy saving & efficiency
New level of efficiency with lower specific energy consumption up to 23%.
CYCLE TIME REDUCTION
The mold cooling follows the cycle according to the needs of the process, solving the typical trade-off of water temperature control technical injection molding, this turns into cycle time reduction.
EASE OF USE
Via an intuitive and user friendly HMI, the setup of the Syncro RSY is carried out in a short time. The machine has a recipe database and an online wizard for the fine-tuning of the unit.
PROVEN RESULTS
A periodic performance report of the machine is sent to the user, in order to keep track of the cycle time reduction, energy consumption and proven performance.
ROI: COMPETITIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT
With such a significant cycle time reduction, the return of investment is guaranteed in few months. The increase of the injection machine productivity turns into a lower CAPEX for new IMMs.
PART QUALITY MATTERS
Syncronized cooling enables a more sophisticated cavity cooling, reducing imperfections on product surfaces, with better part dimensional stability.
LOWER SPECIFIC ENERGY CONSUMPTION
The reduction of cooling time enables a lower Specific Energy Consumption in terms kWh/kg, this turns into energy savings on the single unit of up to 23%.

Cycle time reduction
The injection molding process can be divided into five separate steps: plastification injection, holding, cooling and finally ejection.
The impact of mold cooling on the cycle time can reach up the 60%. The mold has to be cooled or heated, traditionally done with a Temperature Control Unit (TCU).
For this reason Frigel developed Microgel Syncro RSY.

Advanced mold Temperature Control Units are the best opportunity to increase productivity with low impact on CAPEX, from 5 to 15%. The guaranteed cycle time reduction by the new Microgel Syncro RSY technology turns into an extremely short Payback time of average 9 months.
Our customers, after testing new Syncro technology, reported a significant advantage in terms of profitability impact. Each Injection Molding Machine where Syncro unit is used gains some free time for additional production.

Energy saving & efficiency
Energy is one of the key variable to consider in the design of a new TCU. Syncro technology has inverter pumps, power meter and flowmeters installed as standard.
The power meter measures the instant power adsorption and the energy used in every production session.
The Specific Energy Consumption SEC [kWh/kg] is calculated in syncro mode and kept under control with the performance report.

“The adoption of Microgel Syncro has offered us the possibility of winning an order that we would otherwise have lost. The reduction in cycle time, waste and dead times has allowed us to significantly lower production costs.”
“Why should a cycling process like Injection Moulding be cooled via constant flow? Our answer to this question is: Microgel Syncro. The first unit that understand the process, providing cold water only when needed. This approach guarantees benefits in cycle reduction and quality of the products. Welcome in the new era of thermoregulation!”
“After 30 years of Microgel technology, process cooling is again improving with the introduction of Microgel Syncro. The integration of the cooling approach with the molding machine is the core of this unit. We wanted to develop it with an advanced syncronized technology, suppported by an intuitive HMI and proven performance. Take advantage of Microgel Syncro to improve your process!”
“Syncro technology solves the technical injection molding compromise between productivity and quality, making the mold cooling as cyclic as the process itself. This turns into maximizing productivity, quality and energy efficiency.”
“The apparently crazy idea to cool only when and only how much needed and to exploit the residual heating to bring the mold surface to the required temperature, proved to be winning. The results on field are definetely over my expectations!”
“Since the beginning our Microgel has helped many injection molders achieve significant cycle time reductions. We felt we needed to go further exploiting the two key elements of our experience, flow rate and temperature management, in different ways. We also wanted to push the cycle time reduction into molding applications where part quality constraints were the limitation. We did it by simply synchronizing the heat extraction with the molding cycle.”
