Press release submitted on behalf of PCS Company.
PCS Company, Fraser, Michigan, a team of industry experts providing solutions and innovative products for the plastic injection molding, mold making, and die casting industries, introduces its AIRTECT Plastic Leak Detection System, which provides round-the-clock, direct protection of injection molding machine nozzles and manifold systems, reducing unwanted downtime and costly repairs.
“The AIRTECT Plastic Leak Detection System is an essential tool that can be installed directly onto the injection molding machine nozzle or hot runner manifold system. It quickly alerts users of leaks in the form of an alarm and/or the suspension of production, enabling faster operator response and repair,” says Derrick Jones, PCS Company VP of Sales. “The system can be adapted to any hot runner system, either new or retrofit.”
The AIRTECT Plastic Leak Detection System passes tiny volumes of very low pressure air through robust stainless steel sensor tubes to quickly detect most leaks due to its ‘self-teaching’ algorithm.
The starter kit comes with a small controller, an air regulator, silicone tubing, stainless steel tubing and PU tubing – everything needed for use on a molding machine nozzle. Users can build onto the starter kit with additional accessories that make it possible to perform full hot runner manifold leak detection.
“AIRTECT Plastic Leak Detection Systems are available in several configurations depending on the number of zones being monitored,” Jones adds. Options include the following:
- Single and Dual IMM Injection Nozzle Leak Monitors
- Fixed Standard and Stand-Alone Leak Alarm Manifolds in both 4 zones and 8 zones.
- Modular Leak Alarm Manifolds which allow multiple molds to work with the LA500 or LM2050 controllers. Available in 4-zone, 8-zone, 16-zone or 24-zone systems.
- Modular Stand-Alone Leak Alarm Manifolds for 4-zone, 8-zone, 16-zone or 24-zone leak detection capability.
- Modular Leak Alarm Manifold Bases which work with the Modular Leak Alarm Manifolds.
