55% cycle time reduction with iTherm® Core
55%
shorter cycle time
Background information
Our customer that produces thick wall plastic piping was struggling with cycle times when moulding 90° pipe elbows.
Their cycle time was 256 seconds.
FEA analysis that has been carried out predicted a massive cycle time reduction to 125 seconds (graph below).
Based on big potential savings customer decided to replace its current core (left image) with a conformally cooled iTherm® Core.
Improvements with iTherm® custom Core
More uniform heat distribution across the work surface
Cycle Time Reduction
By implementing iTherm® Core, the cycle time was reduced by 54,7%, from 256s to 116s.
