From time to time new technological developments emerge which are not just an incremental improvement over current practice, but are a true leap forward. Evaporative Mould Cooling is such a development.
For a hundred years since injection moulding was first developed and practised as a plastics production technique, mould cooling technology has remained fairly much the same. We machine (usually drill) water galleries into and through moulds as close to moulding surfaces and as comprehensively as is practical, and then we pump cooling water through those galleries during production with the mould.
This is in fact far from efficient but until now it has been the only realistic option. Ritemp Evaporative Mould Cooling is new, patented mould cooling technology that harnesses the large uptake in heat associated with vaporising water. It has many significant advantages including:

Although unknown to a large proportion of the public, major developments have been taking place in chemical companies and research organisations over recent years to address the sustainability and environmental impact of plastics materials. Unfortunately, some of this is also being clouded by many ignorant or even deliberately misleading claims.. Read More >>
There is a growing awareness of the important role very small businesses (typically one or two person businesses) have in the future global economy. Especially when these businesses are connected and trading internationally. Having derived more than half its turnover from export sales over the last eighteen years, Hanlon Consulting Ltd. is an e..

In the interests of best servicing my customers I was a relatively early adopter of off shore mould supply. In the early days and even now, I still try to avoid offering off-shore mould supply as the only option for my clients because I well understand the damage this is doing to the mouldmaking infrastructure in New Zealand, as it is in most d..
