Husky?s hot hits

An expanded Ultra 350 nozzle product line will be introduced, with valve gate and hot tip options, for ultracompact, multicavity small-parts production—small medical parts, for instance. Ultra 350 nozzles provide for direct gating into hard-to-reach areas with distance between nozzles down to 18 mm and throughputs up to 30 g/sec.

For applications requiring frequent color change and uncompromised gate quality, like closures, Husky will be promoting its Ultra­Flow valve gate. Its gate tip design reportedly provides superior melt homogeneity for producing a high-quality ­surface finish and eliminating flow lines.

A new high-pressure molding option for its Ultra 500 valve gate will be unveiled for applications like consumer electronics components, requiring injection pressures up to 43,500 psi (3000 bar).

New back-to-back Ultra 500 and 750 valve gate options that provide a shut height of less than 195 mm for configurations up to 2-by-8 drops will be introduced for high-throughput jobs.

And Husky will be showcasing its Altanium hot runner controls with increased functionality and new features to improve ease of use.—CK
