Frigel DYNAMICO – Mold Profit Booster
Frigel DYNAMICO Mold Profit Booster is a next-generation mold temperature control solution engineered to reduce cooling time and total injection molding cycle time, while maintaining high part quality and full process repeatability.
DYNAMICO introduces a new approach to mold temperature control: instead of focusing only on water temperature, it optimizes the key process driver—cooling time. With dynamic temperature and flow control, synchronization with the injection molding machine cycle, and advanced Wizard software, DYNAMICO helps increase productivity, reduce energy consumption, and simplify process standardization in technical molding and packaging.
What is a Mold Profit Booster?
DYNAMICO is more than a conventional TCU (Temperature Control Unit). It is an intelligent Mold Profit Booster technology designed to shorten cooling time and total cycle time—rather than only regulating water temperature.
A new generation of Mold TCU
DYNAMICO units are engineered to improve heat transfer between circulating water and the mold cavity. This can significantly reduce cooling time while keeping part quality consistent—even with demanding geometries and high-cavitation tools.
With advanced controls and an embedded Wizard, DYNAMICO helps search, find and store optimal “recipes” for temperature, flow and mold cooling time—making setup easier for operators and process engineers alike.
Four technology pillars
- IMM Synchronization – synchronized with the injection molding machine cycle (signal or microswitch).
- Cycle time as setpoint – shifts focus from water temperature to the key process parameter: cooling time.
- Embedded Wizard – controls temperature, flow and cooling time in real time.
- IoT connectivity – ready for internet / MiND remote connection, monitoring and analytics.
DYNAMICO Wizard – the system’s digital brain
DYNAMICO Wizard is a unique tool that helps identify and store the best mold temperature control parameters, with the goal of maximizing productivity while keeping part quality stable.
Recipes and an interactive mold database
- RECIPES: advanced algorithms suggest dynamic temperature and flow setpoints based on process data.
- INTERACTIVE MOLD DATABASE: store and quickly recall operating modes (recipes) for each mold.
- Faster machine setup during frequent tool changes and product transitions.
Everything is managed via a 7” touchscreen with an intuitive interface and a full set of digital sensors for diagnostics and limit monitoring—making operation and maintenance simpler.
Advanced control logic and clear visualization make DYNAMICO an ideal tool for process engineering, cycle-time optimization, standardization, and documenting best settings per mold and machine.
DYNAMICO Mold Profit Booster products
The DYNAMICO family includes three core configurations: DY (with integrated chiller), DS (without chiller for technical molding), and DP (without chiller optimized for packaging), available in single-circuit and dual-circuit variants. All versions use the same Dynamic Mold Temperature Control technology, focused on reducing cooling time.
Dynamico DY – Mold Profit Booster with integrated chiller
Dynamico DY (DYM/DYD) is ideal for advanced technical molding and packaging applications when independent chilled-water generation is required close to the machine. With an integrated chiller, DY can operate independently from the central cooling system, reaching a minimum temperature setpoint of +10 °C without glycol.
Key benefits of Dynamico DY
- Independent from the central cooling system (integrated chiller, down to +10 °C without glycol)
- Proven productivity gains: +20% on many existing molds, up to +40% in specific cases
- Faster start-up: mold preheating up to 20% faster than with a conventional TCU
- Lower operating cost (kW/part) through shorter cycle time and higher cell efficiency
- Cooling-water energy savings up to 95% via the automatic free-cooling concept
- Fast ROI from higher output and lower energy consumption
- Increased floor output (up to +20%) with minimal additional CAPEX
Technical highlights of Dynamico DY
- Maximum temperature setpoint: +90 °C
- Minimum temperature setpoint: +10 °C (without glycol)
- Production range: approx. 30–400 kg/h
- Single-circuit (DM) and dual-circuit (DD) configurations
- Booster pumps up to 50 m³/h and 5.5 bar
- Heating capacity up to 48 kW per zone
- High cooling capacity with motorized modulating valves
- Integrated mold drainage kit
- Advanced digital control with Wizard interface and IoT connectivity
Dynamico DS – Mold Profit Booster for technical molding
Dynamico DS (DSM/DSD) is designed for technical molding at temperatures up to 90 °C, when the mold is connected to the central cooling system and the focus is on dynamic control of temperature and flow to reduce cooling time and total cycle time.
DS uses the same Dynamic Mold Temperature Control technology as DY—with a dedicated control loop per machine and mold, dynamic temperature setpoint and dynamic flow control (Syncro Mode), synchronized with the cooling phase of the cycle.
Key benefits of Dynamico DS
- Proven productivity gains: +20% on many molds, up to +40% in specific cases
- Faster start-up: mold preheating up to 20% faster than with a conventional TCU
- Lower operating cost (kW/part) thanks to reduced cycle time
- Cooling-water energy savings up to 95% thanks to the free-cooling concept
- Fast ROI through higher productivity and lower energy cost
- Increased floor output (up to +20%) without major infrastructure changes
Technical highlights of Dynamico DS
- Direct cooling with maximum setpoint up to +90 °C
- Minimum setpoint: +2 °C above the central cooling system temperature
- Production range: approx. 30–400 kg/h
- Single-circuit and dual-circuit configurations
- Booster pumps up to 50 m³/h and 5.5 bar
- Heating capacity up to 48 kW
- High cooling capacity with motorized modulating valves
- High-capacity centrifugal pumps (flow up to 5× higher than conventional TCU)
- Optional mold drainage kit
Dynamico DP – Mold Profit Booster for packaging
Dynamico DP (DPM/DPD) is developed specifically for packaging applications (preforms, caps, containers, bottle and container blow molding), with mold operating temperatures up to 50 °C and very low cooling-water temperatures, helping minimize condensation on the mold even during stoppages.
Like DS, DP uses dynamic temperature and flow control synchronized with the injection molding cycle, but is further optimized for high speed and short cycles typical in the packaging industry.
Key benefits of Dynamico DP
- Packaging productivity increase: +10% on many molds, up to +25% in specific cases
- Shorter cooling time with reduced condensation risk on the mold during stoppages
- Option to partially replace a central cooling system without mold modifications
- Easy to use – no specially trained operator required
- Fast ROI via higher throughput and lower energy costs
- Increased floor output (up to +20%) by replacing conventional TCU units
Technical highlights of Dynamico DP
- Maximum water temperature setpoint: +50 °C
- Minimum setpoint: +2 °C above the central cooling system temperature
- Production range: approx. 30–400 kg/h
- Single-circuit and dual-circuit configurations
- Booster pumps up to 50 m³/h and 5.5 bar
- High cooling capacity with motorized modulating valves
- High-capacity centrifugal pumps (up to 5× higher flow than standard TCU)
- Optional mold drainage kit
Typical applications for DYNAMICO
DYNAMICO Mold Profit Booster is designed for technical molding, automotive, medical, household appliances, gardening products, electronics, and packaging—preforms, caps, small and large containers, pipes, and blow-molded parts. Cycle-synchronized cooling supports shorter cycles, better surface quality, and lower total cost per part.
