New barrier solution, innovative technologies for beverage packaging, medical and hot runners

20-Jan-15

Latest technologies for the beverage packaging, medical and hot runner markets, will be displayed by Husky Molding Systems at NPE 2015, demonstrating that it provides customers with the highest levels of quality, productivity and reliability. Husky will have a HyPET® HPP5 system running at its booth – a fully integrated injection molding system for PET preform manufacturing that provides enabling technologies for the highest levels of productivity and quality. In demonstrating its comprehensive range of solutions for beverage packaging, Husky will be highlighting its dedication to supporting customers through the lifecycle of their systems. The system will be running SHOTSCOPE™ NX, Husky’s integrated process and production monitoring system that provides a real-time snapshot of information to help optimize overall factory efficiency. NPE will also serve as the official tradeshow introduction to Husky’s barrier solution, built on the industry-leading HyPET® HPP5 platform. The PET preform barrier module offers manufacturers new possibilities to explore PET as a packaging material for beverages, sauces, and other food products. With the barrier module, packaging manufacturers can now take full advantage of significant cost saving opportunities that were previously impossible for applications that required a barrier. Husky will also showcase its latest hot runner and controller innovations, including UNIFY™ pre-assembled manifold systems, ALTANIUM MATRIX2™ hot runner and mold controllers, and its ground-breaking next generation valve gate nozzles. Its ALTANIUM® controllers are built on a software platform that allows for greater integration with other Husky products, providing a foundation to support total mold control with mold servo-controlled actuation, in addition to valve gate and temperature control. Completing the Husky booth will be a display highlighting the safety and reliability its solutions offer for the medical industry. Schöttli, recently acquired by Husky, has been able to focus on specific applications and develop mold technology that enables customers to bring the highest quality medical products to market. At NPE, Husky will showcase its targeted, tooling-first technology for select medical applications, including syringes, infusion/transfusion products, and diagnostic systems.
