Engineered for Superior Cooling Efficiency

Advanced design features deliver exceptional performance and reliability for industrial cooling applications.

Increased Cooling Efficiency

SmartFlow FASTIE optimize water distribution to cooling processes, significantly improving heat transfer efficiency and reducing cycle times in manufacturing operations.

Faster Cycle Times

By providing ample, well-distributed water supply, our FASTIE enable faster cooling cycles, increasing production throughput and overall equipment effectiveness.

Space Optimization

Compact aluminum designs and compressed port spacing on DuoFlow models allow installation in restricted areas while maintaining full functionality.

Leak-Free Reliability

Every FASTIE undergoes 100% leak testing before shipment, ensuring reliable, maintenance-free operation and preventing costly downtime from water leaks.

High Temperature Performance

Stainless steel FASTIE withstand extreme conditions up to 450°F/232°C and 450psi/31bar, supporting high-temperature molding applications.

Easy SMED Implementation

FASTIE support Single-Minute Exchange of Die processes with mold-mounting designs that simplify setup changes and reduce changeover times.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of using the FASTIE® Quick Ejector Tie-In System?
The FASTIE® system dramatically reduces mold change time by up to 80%, increasing machine utilization and production efficiency. It provides quick, secure connection between mold ejector plates and press ejection systems, reduces operator fatigue and safety risks, supports SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) principles, and is compatible with most injection molding press models. This results in more production runs per day and improved overall equipment effectiveness.
How much time can the FASTIE® system save during mold changes?
The FASTIE® system typically reduces ejector plate connection time by 70-80% compared to traditional bolt-on methods. Where traditional methods can take 15-30 minutes for proper alignment and bolting, the FASTIE® system achieves secure connection in 2-5 minutes. For facilities performing multiple mold changes daily or weekly, this time savings translates to significant increases in productive machine hours and overall production capacity.
Is the FASTIE® system compatible with all injection molding presses?
The FASTIE® system is designed to be compatible with most standard injection molding presses from major manufacturers. It features adjustable components that can be configured to fit various press sizes, ejector stroke lengths, and connection configurations. For specific compatibility with your equipment, our technical team can provide a compatibility assessment based on your press model, tonnage, and existing ejector system configuration.
How does the quick connect/disconnect mechanism work?
The FASTIE® system uses a positive-lock quick-connect mechanism that securely engages the mold ejector plate to the press ejection system. Operators simply align the components and engage the locking mechanism, which provides both visual and tactile confirmation of proper connection. The system includes safety features to prevent accidental disengagement during operation and can be quickly released when mold changes are required, all without specialized tools or complex procedures.
What maintenance is required for the FASTIE® system?
The FASTIE® system requires minimal maintenance for reliable operation. Recommended maintenance includes periodic inspection of locking mechanisms, lubrication of moving parts (typically every 3-6 months depending on usage), and visual checks for wear on connection points. The industrial-grade construction ensures durability under normal operating conditions. Maintenance procedures are straightforward and can be performed by regular maintenance personnel without specialized training or tools.
