Time and Temperature...

Whether you’re barbecuing a steak or casting high nickel turbine fan blades the amount of both in combination is crucial in achieving product perfection. Taking a recipe out of a data sheet or translating metallurgical charts and tables into furnace settings is one thing. However, to prove the staging of theoretical best-practices actually imparts the desired material properties requires direct measurement of the work piece.

This is where the ECD M.O.L.E.® excels, and INDATA™ thermal profiling systems travel with your parts through conveyorized ovens and furnaces, eliminating the need for long feed-and-retrieve sensor wires. Consult your solution

 
Traveling Time/Temperature Profiling and Analysis...

...is ECD's forte, and the kits built around the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold 2 with our INDATA® line of thermal barriers and thermocouples create custom solutions for your time at temperature and space constraints. Kits also include M.O.L.E.® MAP software, which flexes with your workflow, providing customizable data extractions, Imports of your .MDM M.O.L.E.® libraries and compatibility with your intranet, Excel, and all ECD M.O.L.E.® profilers. M.O.L.E.® MAP is the Gold Standard for thermal profiling software.

Six-channel Time/Temperature Profilers...

...are the most popular for process heating applications. When you need more data points the MEGAM.O.L.E.® 20 is your choice for furnace surveys and other product quality assurance needs, including new product development.

With only one M.O.L.E.®, you can obtain graphs in M.O.L.E.® MAP software with 20 profile channels, and get the data in real time as well! Meanwhile, our three channel model, the V-M.O.L.E.® accepts 3 Mini thermocouples in a size ideal for batch and flat bed curing processes, powder coat curing and photovoltaic metallization and lamination quality assurance.

Peanut Butter Producer relies on SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold for FDA Reporting Requirement

A Southern food products plant utilizes SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold thermal profiling in their nut roasting operation, utilizing the BB-80 thermal barrier for their ECD profiler and 6 teflon-coated thermocouples arranged in 3 tubes placed across the 15-foot belt width into the bed depth of splits. Lateral balance as well as throughput optimization are accomplished for preferred end product appearance and optimized profitability, with an eye always on Time Above Temperature for periodic FDA safety reporting requirements for salmonella-free certification.

Carpet Manufacturer Gets Their Dryer Under Control

A US Textile company uses the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold to optimize blowers and heaters to achieve their dryness specification (after stain resistance coating) while optimizing throughput too, removing a process bottle neck. The ECD M.O.L.E.® is also used to validate the backing adhesive curing cycle.

Hand Tools Manufacturer Dials In Metallurgical Properties

A Manufacturer of hand tools here in the United States profiles their box and conveyorized furnaces with the SuperM.O.L.E.® Gold 2, certifying their Tempering and Hardening cycles with MAP software reporting data to distinguish their high quality in a crowded marketplace.

Automotive Brake Pads Manufacturer Upgrades to INDATA Profiling

Operating multiple conveyorized heat treat furnaces, profiling parts with very long feed-and-retrieve thermocouples was a pain. Now, rather than occasionally measuring only one or two parts to Verify Safety Standards Quality, they are profiling on a regular basis with up to 20 inconel thermocouples (drilled hole into the work-piece) with the ECD MEGAM.O.L.E.® 20 in a customized INDATA™ 100=MMZ thermal barrier – complete with micro porous insulation, phase-change heat sinks, and Nano-to-Mini thermocouples adapter. Since the INDATA™ profiler travels on the belt along with the product, the thermocouples are but 12" to 24" long, exiting from slots out the sides of the thermal barrier, designed to protect the profile rig through this 600°C to 760°C process.

Powder Coaters and Suppliers Ensure Proper Cure with ECD M.O.L.E.® Profilers

The powder supplier will profile their customer´s cure oven to ensure optimum trouble-free use of their product´s unique capabilities. The contract coater, vertically integrated manufacturer and OEM’s ensure their Cure Schedule meets design criteria for long term environmental quality and finish appearance for company reputation and as a sales tool for demonstrating process control. A large work piece can be exposed to temperatures that are quite different near the hook compared to near the floor. Likewise, the complex part with thick and thin areas must all cure properly, and placing a thermocouple sensor on each area while monitoring oven air temperature is the key to Cure Schedule Quality.
