The Mold Mounted Water Manifold with Blue/Red color coding is a precision-engineered component that plays a vital role in optimizing coolant flow in various molding processes. It is specifically designed for injection molding, blow molding, and die-casting applications, ensuring efficient temperature control across complex mold geometries.
This manifold boasts a compact and modular design, allowing for direct mounting on the mold. The distinct blue (inlet) and red (outlet) color coding simplifies the identification of coolant lines, significantly reducing installation errors and enhancing maintenance efficiency.
Constructed from high-quality materials, it is available in either corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy (ADC6) or stainless steel (316L). Both materials can withstand high temperatures up to 150°C (302°F), making them suitable for demanding industrial environments. The aluminum alloy version offers excellent heat dissipation, while the stainless steel option provides superior corrosion resistance, especially when used with aggressive coolants.

The blue anodized inlet ports and red anodized outlet ports clearly distinguish the direction of coolant flow. This eliminates confusion during setup and reduces the risk of reverse connections, which can lead to mold overheating or cooling inefficiencies.
Available in 2, 4, 6, or 8-port configurations, this manifold can be easily customized to fit specific mold designs. It offers various male/female thread options (NPT, BSP, or metric) and adaptors. The ports are spaced at standard intervals (50mm or 100mm) to ensure compatibility with most mold brands.
The aluminum alloy body (ADC6) provides excellent heat dissipation, contributing to efficient temperature control. For applications involving aggressive coolants, the stainless steel (316L) version offers superior corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance.
The internal channels are CNC-machined with smooth radii, minimizing turbulence and pressure loss. This design ensures consistent coolant flow rates (up to 30 L/min per port), promoting uniform mold temperature control.
Pre-drilled mounting holes and alignment pins allow for quick and secure attachment to mold plates using standard screws. The removable end caps facilitate periodic flushing to remove scale or debris, extending the manifold’s service life and maintaining optimal performance.
In injection molding processes, this manifold distributes coolant to the cooling channels in mold cores and cavities. It ensures uniform part cooling, which can reduce cycle times by up to 15%, improving overall production efficiency.
It maintains precise temperature control in parison molds, enhancing plastic melt flow and reducing defects such as wall thickness variations. This results in higher quality blow-molded products.
Used to cool die inserts and ejector pins in die-casting operations, the manifold prevents thermal fatigue. This extends the mold life, even in high-volume casting processes, reducing production downtime and costs.
In plastic extrusion, it optimizes cooling in extrusion dies and calibrating sleeves. This ensures consistent product dimensions and surface quality, meeting strict industry standards.
