THERMONOM 2G – The most flexible hot runner controller

With the THERMONOM 2G, we offer you an innovative solution for the precise control of hot runners.

The THERMONOM 2G is available in different versions that have been specially developed for different numbers of channels:
Basic model: for applications with 6 / 12 channels | Medium variants: for 18 / 24, 30 / 36 and 42 / 48 channels | Largest model: 54 / 60 channels

Regardless of the number of channels you have, you get a compact and powerful device that guarantees maximum precision and reliability.

Compact, powerful and ready to go!

Flexibly scalable, without compromise!

Flexible, modular and perfectly tailored to your requirements

Do you need more than 60 channels? No problem! Thanks to the Coupling function several THERMONOME units can be connected together to form a common control unit. This allows up to 192 channels ideal for large and complex applications.

All versions of the THERMONOM are fully compatible with each other, regardless of size or generation. You can even seamlessly combine the first generation THERMONOM with the new THERMONOM 2G
This makes integration into existing systems simple and cost-efficient.

Easy maintenance in no time at all

Thanks to independently replaceable controller electronics modules, maintenance and repairs are child’s play.
Simply unplug the old module and plug in the new one – quickly and easily.

The 6-channel module is available as a spare part for easy replacement.

  • Fast maintenance & minimization of downtimes
    If a defect occurs and replacement is necessary, the controller electronics can simply be removed and replaced – without costly repairs or long downtimes.

  • Simple handling without specialist knowledge
    Replacing the controller electronics does not require any complicated interventions or special tools. This saves time and costs during operation.

  • Longevity & sustainability
    Instead of disposing of entire units, individual modules can be replaced or repaired. This saves resources and reduces maintenance costs.
