Since its introduction in 2015, the company has sold more than 20 Multi-Layer systems around the world for a breadth of applications including CSD, juice, sparkling water, beer, tea, dairy, food and personal care. As the momentum for this technology continues to grow, the company anticipates an increased demand from customers looking to explore new applications. Husky’s Multi-Layer co-injection technology at Drinktec will be run- ning on the company’s proven HyPET HPP5 fully integrated preform manu- facturing system. The system will be producing a 17g carbonated soft drink application using a 72-cavity mould and running at an 8.7s cycle time. Also on display will be many new solutions related to Multi-Layer, including a fully integrated solution for preform inspection that Husky developed in partnership with Intravis Vision Systems. The integrated Lay- erWatcher preform inspection system automates the assurance of barrier protection and package security. The Husky system will also demonstrate the company’s automated Mold Align- ment feature, as well as the award- winning self-cleaning Mold Technol- ogy, which is claimed to significantly reduce downtime by eliminating hun- dreds of hours of mould maintenance per year. Live demonstrations of the system are set to take place every day of the show. Understanding consumer trends and being the first to deliver novel innovations that, through close part- nerships with its customers, allows the company to respond to shifts in the market that create opportunities for packaging growth is something significant for Husky. “What is dif- ferent today, is that consumers are demanding more variety. They are more health conscious and are quick to respond to trends. They expect increasingly higher quality,” said John Galt, President and CEO of Husky. “We are evolving the way we do busi- ness to get ahead of these trends and help our customers make plastic packaging more cost effective, more functional and more attractive. Our Multi-Layer Technology is a prime example of how we do this.” Complete package Husky is the industry’s only sup- plier of complete manufacturing solutions for both PET preforms and closures. This posi- tion allows Husky to work closely with customers to deliver closures and pre- forms that are pre- cisely engineered to work together as an integrated, high-per- forming package. To demonstrate its capa- bility, Husky will be showcasing industry- leading manufactur- ing technologies and its global packaging development capa- bilities, along with an extensive range of proactive services aimed at optimising performance and extending the life of its manufacturing equipment. Husky will also showcase solutions that promote improved pack- age sustainability, having been devel- oped though collaboration with key industry partners. www.husky.co Hall A4 - Booth 338
