KOMOTEC developed molds with the goal of saving energy and shortening cycle time. The result is the eco-friendly ECO mold S.E.T. MOLD (Save Expense & Time Mold), a patented technology we apply to our mold making.
We also keep investing in research and technology development to grow together with our customers.
“Creating Shared Value.”
KEY FIGURES
A larger steam inlet area allows lower-pressure steam.
Higher throughput delivers the required steam in about half the time.
Twice as many steam caps fit in the same area.
Figures as stated in Korean Patent No. 10-1520776. Actual results vary with product shape and molding conditions.
WHAT IS S.E.T.
Less empty space inside the mold means less steam to supply.
Lower steam pressure and use reduce energy costs.
Faster heating and cooling shorten molding time.
HOW IT WORKS
Thinner base
The mold base, typically 15 mm or more, is reduced to 8–12 mm. Heating and cooling take less time and energy.
Smaller sealed space
A box placed in the empty space behind the mold reduces its volume. Less steam is needed, which lowers energy costs.
Twice the steam caps
Extra steam holes between the staggered rows double the inlet area, so molding runs on lower-pressure steam.
Less contact area
Recesses between the fixed plate and the mold reduce contact area. With less to heat and cool, energy use falls.
COMPARISON
Steam cap count and flow area are per reference area of 420 × 300 mm.
