Mold Cooling Optimization Devices
Manifolds and pin breakage detection
Manifolds and pin breakage detection devices perform different roles around the mold cooling circuit: distributing and collecting the connections, showing the flow, and detecting abnormal conditions after the shot.
Water distribution
Block Type Manifolds
Machined from a single steel block, the manifold brings cooling tube connections together. Choose one-way distribution or a two-way inlet-and-outlet arrangement.
| Arrangement | Ordering code | Tube connections | Working pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-way | BTMW1-10 | 10 | 16 bar |
| Two-way | BTMW2-10 | 10 + 10 | 16 bar |
BTMW1-10 · BTMW2-10 · 16 bar working pressure
Visual flow indication
Visual Flow Manifolds
Rolling balls provide a visual indication of water flow and abnormal conditions. This supports an operator’s observation of the outlet circuit.
VFM-10 · 10 tube connections · 16 bar working pressure
Pin breakage detection
Pin Breakage Detection Device
PBDD checks for abnormal conditions after the shot and supports pin-breakage detection. Confirm machine compatibility and the jet-cooling stop interlock for the intended installation.
PBDD-10 · 10 tube connections · 24 V DC supply · 16 bar working pressure
Device comparison
| Need | Product |
|---|---|
| Distribute and collect cooling connections | Block Type Manifolds |
| Observe water flow visually | Visual Flow Manifolds |
| Detect abnormal conditions after the shot | Pin Breakage Detection Device |
| Measure and record flow and temperature | Monitoring System |
Visual indication, detection and electronic monitoring serve different needs. Connection size, working pressure, installation position and machine interface must suit the complete cooling circuit.
