Cu+ Mould - Intelligent Cooling Technology for Maximum Performance
The Cu+ Plate was developed to significantly extend the service life of mould plates while maintaining stable cooling conditions during operation. Under constant cooling parameters, the technology can increase mould plate lifetime by up to 50%, providing a cost-efficient alternative to conventional designs.
The innovative concept is based on a variable cooling strategy that dynamically adapts throughout the entire lifecycle of the plate. This ensures stable operating temperatures and enables optimal refurbishment thickness.
Benefits of the Cu+ Plate
Greater refurbishment thickness for extended service life
Higher copper yield and reduced downtime due to longer operating cycles.Dynamic cooling throughout the entire lifecycle
Intensive cooling at the beginning and reduced cooling as wear increases to maintain stable performance.Flexible adjustments during maintenance
Cooling parameters can be adapted during refurbishment to maintain efficiency.
