Die Casting Chiller for Mold and Hydraulic Oil Cooling
APT die casting cooling systems provide process cooling for die casting molds, hydraulic oil circuits, process water loops, oil heat exchangers, and foundry production lines. Each chiller can be configured according to casting material, machine tonnage, mold heat load, cycle time, target water temperature, pump flow, pump pressure, ambient temperature, water quality, and installation environment.
What Matters Most in Die Casting Cooling?
A die casting cooling system should be selected around casting material, die casting machine tonnage, mold heat load, cycle time, hydraulic oil heat load, target water temperature, pump flow, pump pressure, ambient temperature, water quality, and foundry installation conditions.
The correct die casting chiller is not selected by horsepower alone. APT reviews mold cooling channels, oil heat exchanger duty, process water loop, pipe length, high ambient conditions, dust, voltage, and whether an air-cooled, water-cooled, or custom foundry cooling system is more suitable.
