New Digital Thermostats will Improve the Performance of Refrigeration and Heating Applications

West Control Solutions has launched the CAL Thermostats family, a range of easy-to-use temperature thermostats that improve performance and efficiency for food and beverage manufacturers. With a simple user interface, large clear display and a high ingress protection-rated casing, CAL Thermostats offer precision monitoring of temperatures within ovens, fryers, refrigerators and other chillers.

Digital Thermostats with NTC Sensor InputSelf-Tuning Digital Thermostat

The CAL ET2011 digital thermostat is an easily programmable standard thermostat for heating or cooling control, with a 4-digit display. A simple panel clamp enables quick installation and release, while a range of input options for thermocouples or PT100 provides capability to meet a wide range of application requirements. The automatic, ‘self-tuning’ calculation of PID parameters, soft-start functionality and the option for relay or SSR output to be assigned as the main control output all contribute to the flexibility and efficiency of the instrument.

Defrost Thermostats for Compressor Defrost or Fan Control

For refrigeration applications where defrost is required, the CAL EDT defrost thermostats offer different output options for compressor defrost or fan control, up to two NTC thermistor sensor inputs and an option for an external digital input to trigger a defrost event. The devices support different defrost cycles: compressor shutdown, electric or hot gas defrost cycles. Fast set-up is enabled using the “CAL key”, a flash memory key that allows configuration settings to be copied from a master device to any further devices that share the same configuration, saving time and ensuring commissioning or down time is minimised. An RS485 option is available for monitoring and reporting, while a real-time clock for initiating the defrost cycle at a specific time of day.
The CAL thermostat range provides an aesthetically-pleasing design featuring a large display that is ideal for both industrial and non-industrial applications.

Plastics
You can’t go a single day without encountering literally hundreds, if not thousands, of objects made out of plastic. Since they were popularized for use in consumer packaging and durable goods in the 1950s, plastics have since exploded into a $310 billion a year industry. And behind many those plastic packaging and manufacturing plants are Eagle Signal timers.
For plastics manufacturing techniques such as injection molding machinery, thermoforming and extrusion equipment to blow molding machinery, promoting reliable and safe plastics production and consistent product output is critical. This means reducing unnecessary downtime and eliminating all material waste. The key to accomplishing this is accurate and reliable timing equipment.
Eagle Signal brand electronic timers ensure timed plastic mold release and precise heat and pressure control of the plastic resin pellets within the barrel of the injection mold machine. The on-delay timer activates the heating element which signals the temperature controller to melt the plastic pellets to a given temperature parameter within the barrel for optimum plastic injection or molding at the opposite end.

 

Recreational Vehicles
Eagle Signal brand elapsed timers and hour meters aren’t just the lifeblood of complex machine shops and industrial applications. They’re also found anywhere it’s necessary to manage the long-term operation and scheduled maintenance of electrical equipment, such as for golf carts at a pro shop. It’s in the interest of all concerned parties to maintain an accurate run-time records for carts in order to prevent lost revenue for the course or, worse yet, a mis-billed and unhappy customer.
Eagle Signal brand elapsed timers can be found hard at work in golf carts to monitor battery run time hours similar to a standard car’s odometer. Accurate power usage readings help ensure both a vehicle’s owners and users receive an accurate reckoning of its total use. That’s just good business.

 

Food Processing
As anyone who has ever baked a cake knows, even a small variation in time or temperature can have drastic results for the finished product. The food processing and industrial baking industries operate on the same principle, but on a much larger scale. And because the quantity of ingredients involved could potentially result in a huge loss of resources in the event of a mechanical error in timing, the equipment the industrial bakers rely on must be absolutely accurate beyond all doubt.
That’s why industrial bakers and food manufacturers turn to Eagle Signal for their large oven applications, such as the production of bread, pastries, and other products. Our counters enable machine operators to reliably measure ingredients and accurately monitor oven processes and baking times to prevent material waste, scrap and the time and labor involved in reproduction. Eagle Signal offers a range of reset and repeat cycle timers designed to provide user-friendly and accurate time and process control of oven baking time coupled.
