Marse Flow Monitoring – Electronic manifold system

Marse Flow Monitoring – Electronic multi-circuit manifold system

The Marse Flow Monitoring system is a compact, modular electronic manifold system that digitally measures and controls flow and return temperature per circuit. With real-time alarms it indicates contamination and blockages before scrap can form. Operation is via the 7″ display of the Marse SMART Touchscreen TCU – no separate control panel required. Four models are available, from 100 °C to 180 °C, for both water- and oil-based heat-transfer media.

Fields of application

• Per-circuit digital monitoring of injection moulding tool cooling circuits
• Early detection of contamination and blockage – alarm before scrap
• Quality assurance and traceability – process-data logging
• Alongside high-temperature WIC TCU (Flow 160, Flow 180)
• For thermal-oil cooling circuits (Flow 180)
• Automotive and precision-parts manufacturing – Industry 4.0 integration
• Mould-change optimisation – stored mould parameters
