Technovent

Taking the guesswork out of moulding.

• Used solo, Supavent and Smartvent have been providing the rotational moulding industry with improved pressure regulation and passive pressurisation of moulds.
• Technovent provides a simple method of attaching low pressure compressed air lines to moulds, allowing moulders to control and effectively mounts thermocouple probes, giving far more accurate internal temperature measurements.

 

Why Technovent?

• Provides a safe and reliable method of attaching internal air temperature thermocouples and pressurisation lines to the mould
• Enables the moulder to dictate the time of part release from the mould and control variation in warpage and shrinkage
• Helps to ensure that your compressed air lines do not accumulate plastic
• Is designed with a handle that makes Supavent and Smartvent removal easier in factory floor conditions
• In many cases, increases the life of Supavent and Smartvent products
• More useful in bigger moulds with large powder pools
• Is constructed from tough cast stainless steel, and will probably last longer than you do!
• All this means that you produce better rotationally moulded parts cheaper and more easily.

• The Technovent assembly comes with a grub screw, used either to hold the thermocouple probe (or stiffener pin) in place or to block the thermocouple channel so that compressed air cannot exit.
• If you are using a thermocouple probe, first fit the probe and then tighten the grub screw to lock in place.
• We recommend applying a high temperature thread lock to the grub screw, and RTV silicone to seal the thermocouple into the Technovent.
• Next, fit the Supavent or Smartvent into the assembly.
• The "mushroom" top of your chosen vent will fit fully inside the Technovent, ensuring that the assembly is well locked together.
• It can now be fitted into a standard Supavent or Smartvent mounting hole from the outside.
• The fit will be tighter than if not using Technovent – if you find the fit is too tight, the diameter of the mould's mounting hole can be opened up slightly.
• You can then easily attach compressed air lines and thermocouple lines.
