Husky Injection Molding Systems is launching its “next generation” HyPET HPP5 preform moulding system.
According to the Canada-based company, enhancements have been made to the existing HyPET platform technology that allow for up to 12% productivity improvement over the previous generation system, and are complemented by new levels of production flexibility, tooling compatibility and “the industry’s first integrated solution for extended mould life”.
Husky says the new HyPET HPP5 was developed as a result of listening to feedback from its customers, and is “even more capable of delivering the lowest total cost to produce while providing exceptional preform quality”.
“HyPET HPP5 is the result of meaningful technology refinements to many areas that combined offer the most complete and integrated injection moulding system for preform manufacturing on the market today,” says Robert Domodossola, Husky’s vice president of engineering and business development.
Designed to satisfy the needs of customers with a large installed base of tooling, HyPET HPP5 offers customers the ability to utilise moulds from previous generation products, Husky says.
Benefits are said to include a 60% increase between required mould maintenance intervals, and extended tool life up to 10 million cycles “without excessive wear or flash”, with sensors ensuring correct mould installation and detecting misalignment between mould halves during operation.
Further performance improvements have also been made to the system’s CoolPik air cooling and dehumidification unit, which can result in a reduction of more than 20% in energy consumption, according to the company.
