Engineered for Superior Cooling Efficiency

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

Increased Cooling Efficiency

SmartFlow Flow Regulators 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 solutions 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 Flow Regulator undergoes 100% leak testing before shipment, ensuring reliable, maintenance-free operation and preventing costly downtime from water leaks.

High Temperature Performance

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

Easy SMED Implementation

Flow Regulators 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 SmartFlow Flow Regulators?
SmartFlow Flow Regulators provide precise manual and automated flow control for cooling systems, improving temperature consistency and process efficiency. They offer unique single-point adjustment capabilities, ranging from Delta-Q low-cost modules to high-temperature stainless steel models and automated Tracer®VMA systems. These regulators enhance cooling performance, reduce energy consumption, and provide reliable flow management across various industrial applications.
What makes the Delta-Q Flow Regulator different from other models?
The Delta-Q Flow Regulator is a low-cost, precision modular regulator that offers full adjustability from unrestricted flow to complete shut-off using a manual control knob. Its modular design allows easy integration with other Smartflow components, making it a cost-effective solution for basic flow control needs. Unlike fixed regulators, Delta-Q provides precise flow adjustment capability at a fraction of the cost of more complex systems.
What are the advantages of the Tracer®VMA with AutoReg™ system?
The Tracer®VMA with AutoReg™ system combines an electronic flowmeter with automated regulator control, automatically adjusting flow rates to maintain consistent cooling conditions. This eliminates manual adjustments, ensures optimal flow regardless of pressure variations, and provides superior temperature control. The system maintains consistent flow rates automatically, improving process stability and reducing operator intervention while optimizing cooling system performance.
When should I use High Pressure, High Temperature Flow Regulators?
High Pressure, High Temperature Stainless Steel Flow Regulators are specifically designed for pressurized hot water or oil cooling systems operating up to 400°F (204°C) and 250psi (17.2bar). They feature stainless steel valve seats and high-temperature seals for long, trouble-free service in demanding environments. Use these regulators for injection molding, die casting, extrusion, and other high-temperature processes where standard brass regulators would fail.
What is the IceCube™ flowmeter integration in Brass Flow Regulators?
Our Brass Flow Regulators incorporate the proven IceCube™ flowmeter technology, which combines a precision flowmeter with an integral needle valve in a compact, leak-free design. This integration provides both flow measurement and regulation in a single unit, simplifying installation and ensuring accurate flow control. The IceCube™ design offers reliable performance and easy adjustment for standard cooling system applications.
