About this industry
A molding press is heat and hydraulics working together — the platens, dies, and mold halves have to hold their set temperature so parts fill and release clean, and the clamp and injection circuits run on fire-resistant fluid you want to watch. Prater Technical Partners supplies that layer: Heatrex OEM elements for platen, die, and mold heating, Indeeco and Accutherm tubular and finned tubular elements that clamp on, insert into drilled bores, or cast into the tooling, Accutherm custom-formed elements shaped to the mold cavity itself, and Hedland variable-area flow meters watching the injection-molding hydraulic circuits. Prater Technical works with you to spec each one from the tooling drawing, the fluid, and the press.
