Global debut of two completely integrated closure moulding systems

At K 2016 Husky will be globally debuting two new systems, including its recently launched Hycap 4 system for beverage closure moulding, as well as a new fully integrated solution for the manufacture of specialty closures, the company says. According to Husky, Hycap 4 is an integrated solution where mould, machine and auxiliaries are built to work together to deliver improved productivity, better energy efficiency and enhanced ease of use. The Hycap 4 system will run a 1.25 gram 29/25 closure for a mineral water application at a 2.4 second cycle time.

The specialty closure system will produce a 6.1 gram flip-top closure for a shampoo bottle application running a cycle time of under 8.5 seconds. The fully integrated e-IMC in-mould closing technology provides more precise control during moulding to enable better part quality, while providing a more than 20% cycle time improvement, the company says.

Husky will also be showcasing its latest hot runner and controller technologies for medical and automotive applications. A highlight will include an ongoing demonstration of the all-new Altanium Servo Control technology, which enables precise temperature and valve stem motion control to produce superior parts and improve operational efficiency through intuitive process set up and advanced troubleshooting, Husky adds. Ideal for medical part moulding, the company will be demonstrating its Ringier Award winning Ultra Helix Valve Gate nozzles that provide gate quality that looks as clean as an ejector pin mark, lasts for millions of cycles, and is easier for mould makers to integrate into their designs, the Canada-based Husky claims.
