iTherm® TECHNOLOGY
Conformal Cooling
A properly engineered, conformal cooled mold contributes between 20% and 40% to reduction of cycle time. This increase of productivity increases operating income by more than 40%.
Thermal optimization of tooling for injection moulding and die casting is critical to run the highest quality production, minimize production cycle time, and achieve the best production efficiency. Conformal cooling solutions presented are some typical industrial examples manufactured by HTS where:
thermal optimum
of the part is reached
cycle time
is significantly reduced
complex drilling and extra hole tapping
is eliminated

*Thermal Effectiveness Index is a measure of the increase of effective cooling surface of iTherm® product compared to conventional ones, and as such a direct indicator of productivity increase (or reduction of cycle time) caused by iTherm® product. Effective cooling surface is a ratio of cooling channel surface area to the part working surface.
