Temperature Control Units for Industrial Applications
Metalpress offers both hot oil temperature control units and hot water temperature control units to meet a wide range of operating temperatures and application requirements. Hot oil systems are ideal for high-temperature processes requiring stable thermal performance without pressure, while hot water systems provide efficient heat transfer for lower to mid-range temperature applications.
Each system is designed to maintain precise temperature control across molds, dies, presses, or process equipment, helping manufacturers reduce scrap, improve surface finish, and maintain consistent part quality.
Precision Thermal Management for Industrial Molding
In modern manufacturing, consistent mold temperature is the single biggest factor in reducing cycle times and eliminating part defects. Our THC Series Temperature Control Units (TCU) deliver precise thermal regulation for die casting, injection molding, and composite processes.
Whether you require the high-temperature stability of our Hot Oil Units (up to 350°C) or the rapid heat transfer efficiency of our Pressurized Water Units, Metal Press Machinery provides the technology to maintain tight tolerances (±0.5°C) and maximize production uptime.

Hot Oil Temperature Control Units
Hot oil temperature control units are usually used for applications requiring regulation of higher temperatures such as die casting, rubber, top press forming, printing, chemical process, etc.
Our THC-D dual zone units feature both heating and cooling and have an operating range of 140 - 570 ° F (60 - 300° C)
Hot Water Temperature Control Units
Hot Water - High Flow
Our THC-S Single Zone units feature both heating and cooling and have an operating range of 140 - 570° F (60 - 300° C)
Choose the Right Thermal Solution
1. Hot Oil Temperature Control Units (THC-D Series)
Best for: Die Casting (Aluminum/Magnesium), High-Temp Composite Molding.
Performance: Capable of temperatures up to 300°C (Standard) or 350°C (High Temp) using magnetic drive pumps to prevent leakage.
2. Water Temperature Control Units (THC-HW Series)
Best for: Plastic Injection Molding, Rubber, and standard temperature applications.
Performance: Direct cooling design offers rapid response. Available in Standard (120°C) and High-Pressure (180°C) models.
3. Water Channel Cleaning Units
Best for: Maintenance and Efficiency Restoration.
Performance: Removes rust, scale, and calcium buildup from mold channels to restore original heat transfer coefficients and reduce cooling time.

Frequently Asked Questions about TCUs
Q: Should I choose a Water or Oil Temperature Control Unit?
A: It depends on your required temperature. Water units are more efficient at heat transfer but limited to 180°C. Oil units are required for processes running up to 350°C (Die Casting).
For a full breakdown of efficiency vs. temperature limits, read our comparison on Oil vs. Water TCUs: Which is Right for Your Process?
Q: Why do I need a Water Channel Cleaning Unit?
A: Over time, cooling channels accumulate rust and scale (calcium). A layer of scale just 0.5mm thick can reduce heat transfer efficiency by 30-40%, causing longer cycle times and potential part warping. Regular cleaning restores your mold’s cooling performance to “like-new” conditions.
Q: Do your Oil Units leak?
A: Our premium THC-D Series Oil units feature Magnetic Drive Pumps. This seal-less design eliminates the mechanical seal—the most common leak point in standard oil units—ensuring a clean, safe, and leak-free production floor.
