No filters, no contamination, no maintenance.
Once installed, orcinus monitors the flow of water or
oil reliably and for a long time.

is neither complicated nor cumbersome.
contactless measuring principle
The heart of this system is a double ultrasonic sensor,
which can measure the temperatures of water and oil up to
180 degrees. It uses the Delta-T detection principle,
to determine the flow rate by measuring the time difference between the transmission and reception of ultrasonic signals
in and against the direction of flow. This time difference
reflects the flow rate and remains stable thanks to the use of two ultrasonic signals, regardless of external factors such as temperature fluctuations.
intuitive
Everything at a glance – the manifold block communicates easily with our display and informs you about your flow rates. The display has the following advantages:
- digital monitoring of temperature, flow rate and pressure (optional)
- many interfaces included
- can be integrated into injection molding machine
- mold data records can be saved
- alarm outputs included
- tolerance specifications for temperature, flow rate and pressure (optional)
individually
orcinus offers you the option of optimizing your process with 2-144 circuits. The division takes place in distributor blocks with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 circuits. We install orcinus with a maximum of 20 blocks on your mold and thus reduce important cycle times.

overview of our orcinus system
The orcinus system is based on the principle of parallel distribution. The control unit, distribution block and sensor components are optimally matched to the application in the manufacturing industry.
distribution block
- Optimum dimensioning without narrowing the cross-section
- Any installation position
- 1 inch continuous nominal width without cross-sectional constriction
- Large volume flow due to collective flow and collective return at each manifold
- Fault prevention: exact allocation of the problem source through individual division of the circuits
- Temperature and flow measurement for each circuit
The flow rate is a decisive factor for an optimized cooling and cycle time. The orcinus manifold block impresses with its optimum dimensions without narrowing the cross-section. Depending on the available space, the block can be integrated vertically or horizontally into the production machine.
The individual circuits are equipped with ½ inch connections and the central inlet and outlet with 1 inch connections. All wetted components are made of stainless steel and brass. The temperature resistance is 120 degrees Celsius, for the orcinus 180 series at 180 degrees Celsius.
sensor
- Double ultrasonic sensor (measuring range 1 – 30 l/min per circuit, other measuring ranges on request)
- Non-contact, precise measurement
- Signal strength adapts to the degree of soiling
- Flow rate display directly on the sensor (LED status display: green for OK and red for NOK)
- IP67 standard guarantees operation even under the most adverse conditions
We only use the highest quality and most modern components for orcinus. This applies in particular to the double ultrasonic sensor. The sensor measures the time it takes for an ultrasonic signal to travel from point A on the sensor to point B. As the flow rate increases, the signal is accelerated so that less time is required to transmit the signal from A to B.
The sensor calculates the current flow rate based on the relationship between the time taken and the flow rate. It sits outside the medium and measures very precisely – even under the most adverse operating conditions thanks to the IP67 standard. Equipped with LED status lights, it indicates at the point of use whether the minimum flow rate is guaranteed. Furthermore, the measured values are transmitted to the control unit where they are clearly displayed.
control unit
- Intuitive operation thanks to large touch display
- Many interfaces included
- Can be integrated into machine control system
- Tool data records can be saved
- Alarm outputs included
- Extensive history can be called up
- Tolerance specifications for temperature and flow rate
The top priority in the development of our control system was simple operation in order to provide users with comprehensive information intuitively. The touch fields are large and clearly laid out. This means they always have an overview of the individual temperature control circuits and can read and monitor the temperatures and flow rates at a glance.
Minimum and maximum limit values for temperature and flow rate can be entered for each circuit and saved for more than 500 tool data records. Deviations are clearly logged on the alarm page and are available for quality control and process optimization. Alarm outputs to the injection molding machines allow users to maintain control of their process at all times.
The control system has 3 operator levels. Various languages can be selected so that the system can also be used internationally. Extensive interfaces round off the high-quality control system. USB, Ethernet and OPC UA are available at no extra cost.
