iTherm® Multiple gate insert plate is a single-body component with a specially designed internal conformal cooling system that supplies coolant to multiple inserts in one plate . It is used to optimize the flow of water and eliminate leakages.
iTherm® Multiple gate insert plate is a single body component combining multiple iTherm® Gate inserts and iTherm® Water distribution plate in one monoblock.
It is manufactured from tool steel forged blocks using HTS proprietary additive manufacturing technology.
It is a single body component with equal mechanical properties as tool steel monoblock.
It has only two connectors for cooling water (IN and OUT).
Cooling channels can be freely designed according to cooling/heating requirements of the moulded part, not by limitations of using conventional drilling method.
There are different iTherm® Multiple gate insert types for different gating systems.
It is highly customizable to specific customer requirements.
In comparison with the conventionally made gate inserts, iTherm® Multiple gate insert plate gives you extra flexibility to bring cooling channels near the critical zones.
When connecting conventionally made gate inserts to a cooling circuit, you need multiple connectors. With iTherm®Multiple gate insert plates, you need only 2 connectors for the complete system. Compared to iTherm® Single gate insert and iTherm® Water distribution plate combination, you avoid connecting each of the gate inserts to the water distribution plate, because these connections are already made with cooling channels inside the iTherm® Multiple gate insert plate.
Using iTherm® Multiple gate insert plate, cooling channels are designed in such a way that the cooling rate of each gate insert is equal. We use computational fluid dynamics modelling to determine optimal cooling water flow.
Based on the specifics of different gating systems, various iTherm® Multiple gate insert plate types are available. All types come with a selection of hot runner nozzle, which can be placed either on the cavity or core side, however, there is also an option to choose iTherm® Gate insert without nozzle seat.
Cavity with Noozle Seat
Cavity without Noozle Seat
Core with Noozle Seat
Core without Noozle Seat
When ordering iTherm® Multiple gate insert plate it is possible to define different cooling powers in order to meet the exact cooling requirements
The cooling power range is between 5.0 and 30.0 W/cm2 of heat extraction.
