Insulation Plate

As well as assisting in die temperature control, an insulation plate attached to the backplate enables the electrical connections to the hot sprue bush to be fitted to a channel on the outside of the backplate. In this way the whole sprue bush can be removed from the die by removing only the insulation plate and leaving the backplate intact.

If you do not wish to use an Insulation Plate on the Fixed Die Half, the Back Plate should be made thicker to compensate. The depth L62 should be made correspondingly deeper. The electrical connections can be fitted to a channel machined on the inside of the backplate.

Water Cooling of Sprue Tip

The sprue tip has an internal water cooling channel. It can be connected using standard 1/8" water fitting extensions. The outlets are usually from underneath the die, but may be from the side, depending on the orientation of the runner system. Alternatively, the two side channels can be plugged, and a syphon cooling system connected through the die block.
