Stand 9/A38 Husky launches next generation HyCap 4 system – global debut at K 2016 Husky Injection Molding Systems has announced the launch of its next generation system for high output bever- age closure moulding, HyCap 4. Husky launched its HyCap platform in 2009. “Husky is committed to reducing our cus- tomers’ total cost to produce,” said Gerardo Chiaia, Husky’s President of Global Beverage Packaging. “We do this by focusing our development effort on meaningful innovations that deliver on what the processor needs most. More produc- tivity, increased ease-of-use, reduced energy consumption – these are all achieved by specifically designing the mould, machine, hot runner, auxiliary equipment and software to work in harmony – while adding more automation to make the system fully integrated and intelligent.” Exclusive adjust- ments have been made to strike the perfect balance between maximising productivity and achieving industry-leading energy savings. These adjustments include electrification of the clamp motion, servo-variable pumping technology and a regenerative clamp stroke. Combined, these enhancements deliver up to a 40% improvement in energy consumption over the previous generation system, without sacrificing perfor- mance. www.husky.co Husky Hall 13 Booth A61 Dry ice cleaning solutions The Cold Jet Plastics Edition is a comprehensive line of accessories that will come packaged with Cold Jet’s Aero Series dry ice cleaning systems to provide cleaning solution for the plastics industry. It is available in either pellet blasting systems (Performance or Industrial line) or in the patented shaved ice technology (i³ Microclean and SDI Select 60). The shaved ice technology features Cold Jet’s patented MicroParticle technology. MicroParticles is said to allow cleaning and surface preparation with more precision, more fineness, less air and noise as traditional dry ice pellet systems. With dry ice MicroParticles the sur- face gets cleaned faster and more evenly, because it gets hit by more MicroParticles at the same time. Less noise compared to pellets or fragmented pellets is going to lead into a better working environment and an increased safety, according to the company. MicroPar- ticles eliminate the risk of damages to surfaces, vents/ ducts, bridges, high gloss polished forms or ejectors. Also they reduce the consumption of dry ice and compressed air because less power and pressure (kinetic energy) are needed in the acceleration process. During the tradeshow one can witness live manual clean- ing with an i³ Microclean and customised automated clean- ing with a mini robot. www.coldjet.com Cold Jet Hall 10 Booth B48
