Cooling towers are mainly used in the plastic shoe industry to cool down the cooling system during the production process to ensure the normal operation of production equipment and product quality. The specific functions are as follows: injection molding machine cooling, Extruder cooling,Cooling of other auxiliary equipment.
cooling towers for plastic shoe industry
Injection molding machine cooling
During the injection molding process of plastic shoes, the barrel, mold and other parts of the injection molding machine will generate a lot of heat due to long-term work. If this heat cannot be dissipated in time, it will cause the plastic raw materials to overheat and decompose, affecting the product quality, and may also reduce the mechanical properties of the injection molding machine and shorten the service life of the equipment. The plastic shoe industry cooling tower takes away the heat generated by the injection molding machine by circulating cooling water, so that the barrel and mold are kept within the appropriate temperature range. Generally speaking, the temperature of the injection molding machine barrel is controlled between 150-300℃, and the mold temperature varies according to the plastic material and product requirements, usually around 30-80℃. The plastic shoe industry cooling tower can ensure that these temperatures are effectively controlled.

Extruder cooling
For the production of plastic shoe parts (such as heels, shoelaces, etc.) using extrusion technology, the extruder will also generate heat during operation. The plastic shoe industry cooling tower provides low-temperature cooling water for the cooling system of the extruder, helping to cool the screw, barrel, and die of the extruder. This helps maintain the stable fluidity of the plastic during the extrusion process and ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the extruded product. For example, when producing PVC plastic shoelaces, the temperature of the extruder can be controlled by the plastic shoe industry cooling tower, which can make the diameter of the shoelaces more uniform and the surface smoother.

Cooling of other auxiliary equipment
Some auxiliary equipment in the plastic shoemaking workshop, such as air compressors and chillers, will also generate heat during operation. The plastic shoe industry cooling tower provides circulating cooling water for the cooling system of these equipment to ensure that they can work properly. Taking the air compressor as an example, it will generate a lot of heat during the air compression process, and the temperature needs to be reduced through the cooling system, otherwise it will affect the performance of the compressor and the quality of the compressed air, and then affect the operation of the pneumatic equipment in the plastic shoemaking process.

In the plastic shoemaking industry, the plastic shoe industry cooling tower cools down various production equipment to ensure the stability of the production process and product quality, and also helps to extend the service life of the equipment and improve production efficiency.

We will explain all the stages requiring chiller units/low-temperature cooling, their temperatures, and purposes, following the order of Champagne production "from grape to finished product" (including Champagne's unique secondary fermentation in the bottle and freezing for disgorgement).

Rum's raw materials are molasses/sugarcane juice. Unlike wine, which requires sub-zero temperatures for stability and juice for clarification, rum production involves higher overall cooling temperatures and simpler processes. The core processes focus on five main areas: fermentation temperature control, distillation and condensation, process cooling, finished product processing, and auxiliary equipment cooling. These will be detailed below in production sequence.

In wine production, chiller units (often equipped with ethylene glycol/ice water circuits) are mainly used in six key stages: temperature-controlled fermentation, cryo-maceration, juice clarification, cold stabilization, aging and storage, and pre-bottling cooling. Their core functions are precise temperature control, flavor preservation, stability promotion, and spoilage prevention.
