Electric injection moulding machines that have been introduced in the last few years are more energy efficient and have better product repeatability compared to the conventional hydraulic machines. They also reduce noise level considerably.

Husky, a leading injection moulding machine supplier, well known for thin wall mouldings has recently developed a new Hylectric injection moulding machine that is a hybrid between electric and an improved hydro-mechanical system.

This equipment has an electric screw drive and therefore has almost the same energy efficiency as that of electric machine. The testing of this new equipment indicates that it has similar product repeatability and noise level. In fact, Husky feels confident that this new type of injection moulding machine particularly in the area of fast injection mouldings would provide better advantages compared to the electric machines.
