Advantage Bi-Temp and Tri-Temp units deliver two or three independently controlled fluid temperatures from a single frame, at 35 to 100 GPM per zone. Instead of running separate single-zone TCUs side by side for a process that needs different temperatures at different points, one multi-zone unit does the job with a shared footprint and one set of controls.
This fits a multi-cavity mold where different cavities or zones need different setpoints, or a line that combines a heating zone and a cooling zone in the same process step. Each zone is controlled independently, so one zone can run hot while another runs cooler without cross-influence.
Tell us the number of zones needed, the temperature and flow required at each, and whether the zones are water or oil service, and we'll configure an Advantage Bi-Temp or Tri-Temp unit to match.
- Two zones (Bi-Temp) or three zones (Tri-Temp) from one frame
- 35 to 100 GPM per zone
- Each zone independently controlled - useful for multi-cavity molds or combined heat/cool processes
Confirming Multi-Zone Is The Right Call
A multi-zone unit earns its place when a single process genuinely needs more than one independently controlled temperature running at the same time - not when a plant simply has more than one mold on the floor. Two single-zone units side by side are still the right answer for two unrelated processes; a Bi-Temp or Tri-Temp unit is for one process with multiple zones that have to hold different setpoints simultaneously.
Each zone can be specified as water or oil service independently, so a mold with one lower-temperature cooling zone and one higher-temperature heating zone doesn't force a compromise fluid choice across both.

Where Multi-Zone Units Work
BI-TEMP VS. TRI-TEMP
| Factor | Bi-Temp | Tri-Temp |
|---|---|---|
| Independent zones | Two | Three |
| Flow per zone | 35-100 GPM | 35-100 GPM |
| Fluid per zone | Water or oil, specified independently per zone | Water or oil, specified independently per zone |
| Typical use | Two-cavity mold or a combined heat/cool step | Multi-cavity mold or a process with three distinct zones |
Zone count is set by how many genuinely different, simultaneous setpoints your process needs - not by how many separate units you'd otherwise run. Call and talk it through with an engineer: 1-805-484-2992.
