Engineered for Superior Cooling Efficiency

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

Increased Cooling Efficiency

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

High Temperature Performance

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

Easy SMED Implementation

DuoFlow manifolds 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 Water Manifolds?
SmartFlow Water Manifolds increase cooling efficiency by providing optimal water distribution, speed up cycle times through improved heat transfer, offer space-saving designs for restricted areas, and come 100% leak tested for reliable operation. They're available in various materials and configurations to suit specific application needs.
What's the difference between aluminum and stainless steel manifolds?
Aluminum manifolds are lighter, more compact, and cost-effective for standard applications. Stainless steel manifolds offer superior corrosion resistance, higher temperature and pressure ratings (up to 450Β°F/232Β°C and 450psi/31bar), and are ideal for harsh environments or high-temperature molding applications.
What makes DuoFlow Aluminum Manifolds special?
DuoFlow manifolds feature compressed port spacing that creates a smaller overall footprint while maintaining the same number of connections. This space-saving design is perfect for mold-mounting applications and supports SMED (Single-Minute Exchange of Die) implementation by reducing setup and changeover times.
Can you provide custom manifold configurations?
Yes, we offer custom manifold configurations in both aluminum and stainless steel. Our engineering team can design manifolds with specific port arrangements, sizes, and mounting options to meet your unique application requirements. All custom manifolds undergo the same 100% leak testing as our standard products.
What pressure and temperature ratings are available?
Standard aluminum manifolds are suitable for most industrial cooling applications. Our high-pressure, high-temperature stainless steel manifolds are rated for operation up to 450Β°F (232Β°C) and 450psi (31bar), making them ideal for demanding applications like high-temperature molding processes.
