Engineered for Superior Cooling Efficiency

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

Increased Cooling Efficiency

Low Flow Indicators 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 low flow indicators 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 Low Flow Indicator undergoes 100% leak testing before shipment, ensuring reliable, maintenance-free operation and preventing costly downtime from water leaks.

High Temperature Performance

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

Easy SMED Implementation

Low Flow Indicators 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 differences between Standard and High Pressure/Temperature Low Flow Indicators?
Standard Temperature Low Flow Indicators are designed for general industrial applications with high visibility rotors for clear flow visualization at normal temperature and pressure ranges. High Pressure and Temperature Indicators are specifically engineered for pressurized hot water cooling systems and extreme conditions, featuring enhanced materials and designs to withstand high temperatures and pressures while maintaining reliable flow indication.
What makes the high visibility rotor design effective for low flow detection?
Our high visibility rotor design features contrasting colors and optimized geometry that provides clear visual confirmation of flow even at extremely low rates. The rotor's movement is easily detectable by operators, allowing quick assessment of flow conditions. This visual feedback is crucial for monitoring cooling systems, detecting flow interruptions, and ensuring proper operation of critical processes where low flow conditions need to be immediately apparent.
What types of accessories are available for SmartFlow Low Flow Indicators?
We offer a comprehensive range of accessories including various mounting brackets, connection fittings for different pipe sizes, protective covers, extension viewing windows, and special fittings for challenging installations. For High Pressure/Temperature models, we provide reinforced mounting hardware and specialized seals. Custom accessories can also be designed for specific application requirements to ensure optimal integration with your existing systems.
What are typical applications for High Pressure and Temperature Low Flow Indicators?
High Pressure and Temperature Indicators are specifically designed for pressurized hot water cooling systems commonly found in injection molding, die casting, extrusion, and other high-temperature industrial processes. They're ideal for applications where cooling water operates at elevated temperatures and pressures, providing reliable flow indication in challenging environments where standard indicators would fail or provide inaccurate readings.
How do I determine which low flow indicator is right for my application?
The choice depends on your specific operating conditions. Standard Temperature Indicators are suitable for most industrial cooling systems operating at normal temperatures and pressures. High Pressure/Temperature Indicators are required for systems with water temperatures above standard ranges or operating pressures exceeding normal limits. Our technical team can help assess your application parameters including flow rates, temperature ranges, pressure conditions, and installation requirements to recommend the optimal low flow indicator for your needs.
