•Machines and molds that use the Ritemp Conformal Mold Cooling System must be registered with Ritemp™.•Registration Plates will be provided by Ritemp™. These must be fixed to the machine and to each mold as proof of registration. They must be visible from the operator's side of the machine.•Training in the use of the System will be provided by Ritemp™. It is the Licensee's responsibility to ensure that those personnel who operate and maintain the System are provided with the necessary equipment and training to do so.•Licensees are responsible for ensuring that the designers of their molds are qualified to apply the Ritemp™System to their mold designs and that the molds are manufactured to those designs.•Apart from those factors that are under the control of Ritemp™, Ritemp™ takes no responsibility for the design or manufacture of the tooling.

Molds that are designed to be used in a “Ritemp™ Ready” machine need only 2 or 3 hoses to be
connected to each platten assembly, to provide the best possible mold temperature control using very
simple fully conformal cooling chambers.
A Ritemp™ Ready molding machine is one which is licensed and equipped to take advantage of the
Ritemp™ Conformal Cooling System.
•The heart of the technology is an efficient, compact heat exchanger mounted on top of each machine platen and a coolant pressure cycling pump mounted on the underside of each platen.•An electronic controller is used to control the flow of cold water through the heat exchanger (“Die Temps” not required). It also controls the cycle timing of the pump.•Ritemp™supplies the equipment. The capacity, and hence the size and cost of each installation depends on the size of the machine being equipped.•The price of the installation will include a license for each machine that is so equipped. That license will require an annual renewal fee equal to 5% of the installation price. (POA).•When this simple installation is complete, the machine is “Ritemp Ready”. None of its original functions are affected. Its capabilities are simply enhanced. •Each mold that uses the Ritemp Conformal Cooling System also requires a license. The cost will depend on the size of the machine that uses it. The early adopter price is US$20 per ton, to the nearest 100 tons.•The technology is protected worldwide by the approved patent application number PCT/AU2020/051285.Mold designers will be trained and licensed as accredited Ritemp™designers with technical backup provided by the Ritemp™team. This includes an audit service to ensure that each mold design meets Ritemp’s standards.
