Falling Film Chillers for Plastic Processes

In the plastic processing industry, falling film chillers are essential for efficient cooling in extrusion, injection molding, and blow molding. These devices optimize heat transfer, ensuring rapid cooling while handling viscous polymers and high-throughput operations.

Falling film chillers are designed to rapidly cool process media to precise temperatures. In this setup, a thin film of liquid flows over vertical tubes, with refrigerant evaporating inside, providing high-efficiency indirect cooling. They can manage significant temperature drops required in plastic methods such as mold cooling, pelletizing, or film blowing. Their ability to quickly transfer heat, handle phase changes, maintain process purity, and support energy recovery make them vital to the industry.

Falling film chillers play a critical role in cooling, condensation, polymer recovery, and heat management in plastic production. Manufacturers construct these chillers with materials that meet industry standards for durability and safety, including corrosion-resistant designs. Advanced engineering addresses scalability and maintenance, allowing seamless integration into plastic systems.
