What Are Heat Transfer Rolls Temperature Control Units?

Understanding the Role of TCUs in the Heat Transfer Roll Industry

Heat transfer rolls, sometimes called chill rolls or converting rolls. In many industries-from film extrusion and coating to calendaring and lamination-heat transfer rolls are essential for achieving precise and uniform surface temperatures. To ensure stable roll performance, manufacturers rely on Heat Transfer Rolls Temperature Control Units (TCUs) that maintain consistent heating and cooling cycles during operation.

A Heat Transfer Rolls Temperature Control Unit precisely controls the roll’s surface temperature by circulating a thermal medium, typically water or oil (so, it also called heat transfer roll water temperature control unit and heat transfer roll oil temperature control unit), through the roll’s internal channels. This keeps the temperature uniform, preventing hot or cold spots that could affect product quality.

Types of Temperature Control Units (TCUs)  

HENGDE offers two main categories of TCUs for different working conditions:

• Heat Transfer Roll Water Temperature Control Unit 

Designed for medium-temperature operations that require rapid response and high heat transfer efficiency. Perfect for lamination, printing, and coating lines.

• Heat Transfer Roll Oil Temperature Control Unit

Ideal for high-temperature applications. It ensures excellent thermal stability and prevents temperature overshoot even under heavy workloads.

Key Components of a HENGDE Heat Transfer Rolls Temperature Control Units

Each HENGDE Temperature Control Unit features:

1. Advanced PID temperature controllers.
2. High-efficiency pumps and heat exchangers.
3. Durable components from Schneider, Siemens, and Omron.
4. Safety protections including overheat alarms and flow monitoring.
5. Explosive device pipe.
6. 304 stainless steel pipeline to reduce the tube group and rust.
7. Imported microcomputer or PLC control. (Optional)
8. RS485 communication function, automated management.(optional)
