Cooling surface method

The surface method is the ultimate way of getting the maximum performance. It’s applied mainly to cavities used in high volume mass production applications because of its high cost.

This type of construction can represent quite an investment, but on the other hand, it provides unequaled performance.  There is simply no better way of providing cooling.

The typical surface cooling geometry has a honeycomb structure which closely follows the cavity surface at a depth of approximately 0.1" (2.5mm). This provides  maximum performance while ensuring stable operation at injection pressures and for mold closing.

By applying a second honeycomb layer under the first for either cooling or heating, it’s possible to isolate a cavity from the rest of the tool.  This enables very swift operations to be carried out, for example, by using pulsed cooling.
