iTherm® Round Distributor is single-body HPDC component with specially designed internal conformal cooling system. It is used to improve heat extraction from biscuit and casting channel, resulting in faster biscuit solidifaction.
iTherm® Round Distributor is produced using tool steel forged or rolled blocks and HTS propriatery 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 cooling/heating requirements of the product, not by limitations of using conventional drilling method.
It comes in two standard design types: conical or front head.
It is highly customizable to specific customer requirements.
In comparison with conventionally made Distributor, iTherm® Distributor gives you extra flexibility to bring cooling channels near that critical zones of the distributor.
Conventional Distributor
iTherm® Distributor
In comparison with conventionally made Distributor, using iTherm® Distributor the heat is distributed much more even over the surface, so the distributor is cooling down more evenly and quicker.
Surface temperature (conventional vs. iTherm®)
In comparison with conventionally made Distributor, using iTherm® Distributor you gain time in phase of biscuit solidification, decreasing the biscuit problems related downtimes.
Working surface temperature (conventional vs. iTherm®)
Combining the advantages of iTherm® Round Distributor you can significally shorten cycle time. Our customers have reported up to 20% shorter cycle times when replacing conventional Distributor with iTherm® Distributor.
between 10 and 30 W/cm2 of heat extraction
