Thermolator® vacuTrac (VTR1-DI and VTR2-DI) Positive/Negative Pressure

Model HTR1-500 single zone
  
CONTROL 
TEMPERATURE 
AND STOP 
MOLD LEAKS

Keep your operation up and running with the Thermolator vacuTrac water temperature controller. This positive/negative pressure unit can be used as a temporary fix for a leaky mold or bad O-rings. 

The vacuTrac is equipped with a manual three-way ball valve that allows you to change the unit from positive pressure to negative pressure by moving the valve handle on the back of the unit counterclockwise. Changing the unit to operate with negative pressure allows the unit to draw air into the mold effectively stopping leaks.
  

Single or dual zone models available

Use the vacuTrac to produce negative pressure in the from process lines. Otherwise, the unit functions like a direct injection temperature control unit and can be used when your application requires process temperatures up to 180° F. 

The unit is equipped with a highcapacity, heavy-duty jet pump/venturi. Choose 9 or 12 kW heaters and pumps from 2 to 7.5 Hp. 

Specify single zone if you need one temperature throughout your mold, or dual zone if two different setpoints are required. 

You have a choice of two advanced microprocessor control systems. Other options include bell, strobe or piezo horn for alarm conditions.

  • INCOLOY HEATERS 
    Standard on the vacuTrac, Incoloy heaters resist damage from high temperatures and chemicals.
  • THREE-WAY BALL VALVE 
    Quick and easy changeover from standard positive pressure to negative pressure operation. 
  • LIFT-OFF ACCESS PANELS 
    Convenient, tool-free access to internal components. The cabinet lifts away for easy maintenance and servicing. 
  • STATE-OF-THE-ART CONTROLS 
    Easy to use microprocessor controls provide accurate temperature control. Auto-tuning of the PID control parameter provides uniform temperature control regardless of light or heavy external loading.
  • COMPACT, STURDY DESIGN 
    Small footprint. Designed for efficient use of your valuable floor space.
Features:

  
Positive/negative pressure units use a jet pump/venturi to produce negative pressure in the “from process” lines. 

Water at positive pressure will leak out of mold cracks or bad o-rings. During negative pressure operation, however, air is drawn through the lines, and the mold operates without leaking. A manual three-way ball valve can be closed to make these units into standard direct injection units. Because the units use water and vent to the atmosphere, they have a maximum process temperature of 180° F.

Controls:

vacuTrac Control (TW-1) 
Our waterproof, durable control is operator friendly and smart. Standard features: 
  • Automatic fine-tuning of PID control parameters provides uniform temperature control regardless of external loading. 
  • Adjustable high/low deviation warnings track with your setpoint temperature. Preprogrammed acceleration feature speeds up setting parameters. 
  • 18 operating and fault indicator lights, including 7 bi-color LEDs, tell you the status of critical components and parameters. 
  • Password entry prevents unauthorized or accidental changes to operating parameters. 
  • RS485 communication using SPI protocol. Baud rates and addresses are programmable on the operator panel.

vacuTrac Plus Control (TW-2) 
Includes all of the features of the standard vacuTrac control, PLUS: 
  • Autostart capability for convenient preheating of molds.Works with external timers or switches. 
  • Choice of temperature control points allows you to monitor and control from the process supply or process return temperature, or from an average of the two. 
  • Phase detection circuit indicates incorrect pump rotation or an open electrical leg. 
  • Remote control up to 50 feet. Magnetic panel back allows you to place the controls where you need them. Comes with 15-foot cable. Lengths of 30 or 50 feet optional. Note: The purge option is not available on the vacuTrac positive/negative pressure water temperature controllers.

Options:

Alarm packages 
Call attention to alarm conditions with a light and horn package.
