Husky announces availability of Ultra Helix 350 Nozzles
Husky Injection Molding Systems announced the availability of the Ultra Helix 350 valve gate, expanding the existing product line of the award-winning valve gate technology released in 2015. This new series of nozzles is provides customers even more options for creating a wider range of applications, producing better quality parts with the longest gate life of any valve gate currently available, according to the company.
Husky conducted extensive research in order to understand the fundamentals of valve gate dynamics, materials, wear, and gate quality while developing the Ultra Helix nozzle. Coming as close as possible to zero gate vestige performance, the Ultra Helix valve gate is claimed to dramatically improve part quality. Additionally, Ultra Helix nozzles build on Husky’s track record of industry-leading thermal uniformity and virtually eliminates mechanical wear on the valve stems and cavity steel.
Husky won the 2015 Ringier Technology Innovation Award for the development of its Ultra Helix valve gate technology and its contribution to production efficiency and cost effectiveness.
