Design STEP 6: Water Cooling

Temperature control is essential for all mould tools.We need to cool the moulding as soon as possible so that we keep moulding cycles within acceptable limits.

In this case we have two options: incorporating cooling channels into the cavity inserts if possible, or putting water channels through the mould plates next to the cavity inserts.
Since locating cooling channels into the cavity inserts would be difficult in this case, we will use cooling channels through the mould plates (Figure 7.10).
