iTherm® Flat distributor is a single-body HPDC component with a specially designed internal conformal cooling system. It is used to improve heat extraction from the biscuit, resulting in faster biscuit solidification.
iTherm® Flat Distributor is produced using tool steel forged or rolled blocks and HTS proprietary additive manufacturing technology.
It is a single body component with equal mechanical properties as tool steel monoblock.
Cooling channels can be freely designed according to the cooling/heating requirements of the product, not by the limitations of using the conventional drilling method.
It is highly customizable to specific customer requirements.
In comparison with the conventionally made distributors, iTherm® Distributor gives you extra flexibility to bring cooling channels near that critical zones of the distributor.
Conventional Distributor
iTherm® Distributor
In comparison with the conventionally made distributors, using iTherm® Distributor the heat is distributed much more evenly over the surface, so the distributor is cooling down more evenly and quicker.
Surface temperature (conventional vs. iTherm®)
In comparison with conventionally made distributors, using iTherm® Distributor you gain time in the phase of biscuit solidification, decreasing the downtime directly related to biscuit problems.
Combining the advantages of iTherm® Distributor you can significantly shorten cycle time. Our customers have reported up to 20% shorter cycle times when replacing conventional distributors with iTherm® Distributor.
