Wittmann's Tempro Plus D390 TCU can handle temperatures up to 392 degrees Fahrenheit.
NPE Booth W3043
Tempro Plus D This line of Wittmann temperature-control units (TCUs) controls temperature and pressure, and includes both single- and dual-zone units, designed to ensure a need for less circulating water and shorter preheating and cool-down periods. In addition to controlling temperature and pressure, the TCUs monitor for leaks and broken hoses, as standard. All Tempro Plus D pressure devices are equipped with magnetically coupled pumps and operate without mechanical seals.
What’s new? The Tempro Plus D390, introduced as a production model at Fakuma in Europe, where it is known as the Tempro Plus D200, so named because of its top operating temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. The closed-tank, indirect-cooled TCU achieves temperatures up to 392 degrees Fahrenheit. At NPE, it will be shown with a variable-frequency-drive EcoDrive pump (VFD), which limits water output to only what is needed.
Benefits The ability to handle high temperatures. The Tempro Plus D390’s operating range exceeds Wittman’s previous high of 360 degrees Fahrenheit. The company’s goal is to offer users a viable alternative to oil as a process medium. Because of the demanding conditions, the Tempro Plus D390’s components are more durable, made of stainless steel to resist corrosion. Special fine filters maintain water quality.
