NPE- Chicago IL, USA- INCOE® has developed a patented* manifold technology featuring a laminate construction. The manifolds are an addition to INCOE®’s current range of Standard, Custom and Opti-Flo® manifold designs.
Manifold halves are machined to mirror each other and then metallurgically fused to create a complete laminate manifold. This eliminates the need for welded plugs associated with gun drilled designs. INCOE®’s patent improves the manufacturing process resulting in a superior “bond” when fused. Inherent in the laminate manifold design is the ability to manufacture flow channels that are difficult or impossible to produce using conventional gun drill methods.
John Blundy, V.P. Business Development for INCOE® stated, “The laminate design expands our existing range of manifolds with a product that provides improved processing of challenging resins. Our customers now benefit by having access to this technology in addition to the existing full range of hot runner products and services offered globally.”
