The Variothermal temperature control is the basis for dynamic mold temperature control, creating temperature deltas in the mold; coordinated interaction between the mold and the hot runner, and dynamic mold temperature control. The user can directly influence the surface molding and the solidification behavior by using two temperature control circuits with different temperature levels. Switching between these circuits allows for heating or targeted cooling.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"grve-empty-space grve-height-1x\" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<strong>Main Features <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rapid heating and cooling<\/li>\n<li>Lower injection pressure and speed<\/li>\n<li>Uniform surface quality<\/li>\n<li>Lower clamping force<\/li>\n<li>Dimensional stability increase<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"grve-element grve-image grve-animated-item grve-duration-normal grve-fade-in-up grve-align-center grve-full-image grve-image-space-100\" style=\"\" data-delay=\"200\">  <div class=\"grve-image-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/gln.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/heat.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Technologies\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gln.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/heat.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gln.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/heat-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gln.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/heat-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"Technologies\" \/>   <\/div><\/div><div class=\"grve-empty-space grve-height-1x\" style=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"grve-element grve-image grve-animated-item grve-duration-normal grve-fade-in-up grve-align-center grve-full-image grve-image-space-100\" style=\"\" data-delay=\"200\">  <div class=\"grve-image-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/gln.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/cool.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Technologies\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gln.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/cool.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gln.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/cool-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gln.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/cool-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" title=\"Technologies\" \/>   <\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Productive Cells&#8221;
