Water temperature control unit for production applications

Enhance your production efficiency by precisely managing water temperature for critical processes, ensuring optimal heat transfer and consistent quality across applications like injection molding and die casting.

Controls and Regulates Water Temperature

The TrueTemp® TC120 Series from AEC offers a water temperature control solution excelling in precision and reliability. It employs an innovative design that enhances heat transfer efficiency through turbulent water flow. Ideal for various applications, including plastic processing, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, the unit maintains temperatures within a 1°F variance to ensure consistent quality in end-products like automotive parts and bottled beverages. Featuring a high flow pump, the TC120 operates within a setpoint range of 32°F to 250°F, integrating seamlessly into your production line with its robust NEMA 12 design. With options for customization, such as controller choices and heater capacities up to 24 kW, this unit is built to handle rigorous industrial environments. It supports efficient cleaning and maintenance with easy-access panels and programmable auto vent sequences. Designed for high performance, it operates up to 300°F, includes silicon carbide seals for enhanced pump life, and conforms to safety standards with features like a pressure relief valve and integrated cooling solenoid valves.
