CoolFusion – Our modular aluminium extrusion (process) heatsink profiles

Set new standards in heat sink fabrication

CoolFusion takes our heat sink solutions to a new level. Thanks to the modular design, we can offer several advantages that were previously unattainable with conventional extruded profiles. These include not only high tongue ratios for maximum heat transfer, but also the reduction of tool breakages, the processing of wall thicknesses of unequal thickness, and a significant increase in process reliability and efficiency.

CoolFusion makes it possible to realize heatsink profiles with extremely high tongue ratios, resulting in better heat transfer performance. This efficiency is not possible with traditional one-piece extruded profiles.

The modular design of the CoolFusion heat sinks reduces the susceptibility to tool breakage, as the cooling fins can be manufactured in an optimized length. That considerably increases the reliability and service life of the tools, which significantly reduces the need for spare parts and the associated resources for production, transportation, and disposal. This increase in efficiency means that the method makes a significant contribution to the sustainability of the product.

The CoolFusion system optimizes material utilization and increases production efficiency. Tools can be manufactured and machined more easily, resulting in lower costs and shorter delivery times.

Surface finishing and performance optimization through targeted post-processing

It is not only the design and geometry of a heat sink that determine its efficiency – the choice of the right surface finish also has a significant influence on performance, protection. and durability. The right finish not only protects against environmental influences, but can also influence electrical properties and optimize heat dissipation.

Depending on the area of application, we offer various surface treatments that are tailored to the specific requirements of our customers:

Anodizing
This electrochemical treatment improves corrosion protection and provides electrical insulation. It is ideal for outdoor applications such as photovoltaic or solar technology, where weather resistance plays a key role.
Powder coating
In addition to a high level of mechanical protection, powder coating also offers design advantages thanks to a wide range of color options. It is often used in the automotive industry, but also in industry, e.g., for visible components of electronic housings where both appearance and function are required.
Passivation
Passivation forms a skinny, almost invisible protective layer on the aluminum surface. This variant offers basic corrosion protection without impairing thermal conductivity – a preferred solution in the field of power electronics and electrical engineering.

We increase the resistance and service life of our heat sinks through the targeted selection of surface finishes – individually tailored to the operating conditions and technical requirements of your applications.
