Jet Cooling Pins

Overview

Jet cooling pins are precision-engineered core pins (or insert pins) that integrate high-pressure cooling channels. These pins deliver rapid, localized thermal regulation directly at hot zones—such as small-diameter core pin tips—during the casting or injection molding process. This jet cooling technique significantly enhances product quality, accelerates cycle times, and minimizes typical thermal-related defects.

Jet Cooling Pins

Key Features

High-Pressure Cooling Channels
These pins feature internal jet cooling passages—often as narrow as 2 mm, and drilled ideally up to 10 mm from the tip. The thin-walled design (often < 3 mm) ensures efficient heat extraction.
Superior Thermal Stress Control
Jet cooling helps manage heat at the critical core-pin interfaces, reducing issues like soldering, shrinkage porosity, and erosion—thus enhancing component lifespan.
Enhanced Casting Quality & Consistency
By eliminating hotspots and improving solidification control, jet cooling helps reduce dimension variations, defects, and the need for release agents, resulting in smoother surfaces and more reliable parts.
Faster Cycle Times & Production Efficiency
These cooling pins enable quicker part solidification and ejection, improving overall productivity and reducing scrap rates.
Durable, Long-Life Core Pins
When paired with advanced materials and surface treatments (like nitriding or high-grade tool steel), jet cooling dramatically extends the core pins’ service life and mitigates thermal fatigue.
Leak Detection & Safe Cycling
Advanced systems include air purging post-cooling and leak detection mechanisms, ensuring safe operation and avoiding residual moisture or failures.
