The SPM series from FIMRO GmbH is a comprehensive system for the professional cleaning, inspection, and measurement of temperature control channels in injection molding and die casting tools.

It was specifically developed to meet the requirements of toolmaking, plastics processing, and die casting production, where stable temperature control processes, short cycle times, and consistent component quality are crucial.

In everyday industrial production, temperature control channels are subject to continuous stress. Limescale deposits, corrosion, biofilms, or production residues gradually alter flow conditions and heat transfer. Without systematic monitoring, performance losses often remain undetected for a long time – with direct impacts on energy efficiency, cycle times, and component quality.

This is precisely where the SPM series comes into play.

The SPM series includes a wide range of variants – tailored to tool size, channel structure, performance requirements, and level of automation. From compact systems for individual tools to high-performance solutions for complex multi-channel tools, SPM offers a technically sophisticated solution for a variety of applications.

Different pump concepts, manual or automated measurement systems, and individually configurable test units allow precise adaptation to your operational requirements.

And if no standard variant fits exactly, Fimro’s custom engineering delivers a tailor-made solution – thoughtfully designed, technically integrated, and precisely aligned with your specific application.

Temperature control channels are subject to continuous wear during production. Deposits from cooling water, tempering media, and production conditions can impair the performance of the channels. Key consequences include:

• Reduced flow through the temperature control channels
• Uneven heat transfer in the tool
• Longer cycle times and unstable processes
• Increased energy consumption of the tempering units
• Quality issues with molded parts

Benefits of cleaning: Regular flushing increases process reliability, extends tool life, and prevents costly downtime.

Contamination often develops gradually. The following warning signs indicate that action is needed:

• Temperature differences within the tool
• Unstable or fluctuating cycle times
• Increased energy consumption of the tempering systems
• Uneven part cooling
• Difficulties starting production after a tool change

Solution: With FIMRO SPM flushing systems, individual channels can be specifically tested and evaluated, allowing problems to be detected early.

Regular cleaning prevents long-term damage and process issues. Typical times include:

• Before the start of production with new tools
• After extended production cycles
• When temperature or cycle deviations occur
• During scheduled maintenance intervals
• After tool repairs or modifications

Benefits: Maintenance intervals can be planned efficiently, and unplanned production interruptions are reduced.

Perfectly cleaned temperature control channels form the basis for precise and uniform tempering of injection molding and die-casting molds. Regular cleaning and flushing optimize heat transfer between the tempering medium and the mold steel, reducing heating and cooling times and sustainably improving product quality.

By using FIMRO flushing and testing systems, companies benefit from:

• Consistent temperature control, reducing process fluctuations
• Minimized downtime through efficiently integrated cleaning and testing processes
• Maximum part quality, as critical temperature deviations are avoided
• Documented process control, securely recording all testing and cleaning data
• Flexible adaptation to production requirements, thanks to mobile, modular systems

Consistent maintenance of temperature control channels not only increases manufacturing efficiency but also extends the service life of mold tools and reduces the need for frequent repairs. Regular cleaning and testing are therefore a crucial factor for maximum operational safety and continuous production quality.
