iFlow Manifold Technology

IFLOW MANIFOLD TECHNOLOGY
iFLOW hot runner manifolds, first introduced over 30 years ago, is an original technology that is available exclusively from Mold-Masters. It has since been proven to be essential for applications that demand exceptional part quality produced in medium to high cavitation hot runner systems.

Advantages of iFLOW Technology includes:

- Best in-class melt management.
- Industry leading mold fill balance.
- Rapid color change performance.
- Reduced stack height.
- Extensive flexibility for design optimization.
- Enhanced durability and longevity

FLOW manifolds begin as 2 separate pieces of steel, each piece is a half of the manifold. Runner channels are CNC milled from each piece which are then carefully polished to promote optimal resin flow. In the final step, the two halves are brazed together, producing an advanced manifold design with the same strength and durability as if it was made from a single block of steel. This unique manufacturing process allows our designers to have complete flexibility when optimizing hot runner performance and helps avoid design conflicts. Mold-Masters designers have the use of patented melt flow geometry, flow path options and runner shapes which includes curved paths. Designers are not restricted to the conventional straight or 90° turns of runner channels produced by traditional gun-drilled manifolds. iFLOW also simplifies maintenance by eliminating the need for any plugs or screws which can easily be misplaced.
