If we understand the problems of our customers, we can provide the right solutions more efficiently. As with many parts and components, the key is in the details. Take valve stems for example the chamfer on the edge must be precisely made. If not, the valve pin can start wearing out the nozzle tips and the injection mould gates prematurely, leading to preform faults. This is only one of the aspects of a part that we inspect 100%, to ensure there are no such effects impacting our customer’s product down the road.” Over 700,000 units shipped On what the future may bring, HRC is very clear: “The combination of such scrutiny on our side, and the fact that we are ready to directly contribute to our customer’s strategic goals has been our modus operandi since the beginning. We believe it’s this mentality, and the fact that we can guarantee such performance that’s helped us stay in the lead, and continuously helps to increase our market share and customer base across the globe. Our parts and services have received very positive reviews, and very importantly also from our distinguished Japanese customers, and we take big pride in that. But to be frank, we don’t expect anything different, as we for 100% know the precise condition of every part and hot runner that we ship to our customers. That means we can be sure of its performance in its designated PET production line. The future is bright, and we want to contribute to that!” To date, HRC has overhauled more than 140 hot runner systems of various sizes, makes and types, including multilayer systems. They specialise in large 96-144 cavity systems and can handle even larger formats in their state-of-the-art cleaning lines. Over 700,000 units of HRC components have been shipped to their customers, with only positive feedback and returning orders as a result. www.hotrunnercomponents.eu Besides the servicing of PET hot runners, providing high-quality spare parts to the PET packaging industry is part of HRC’s core business.
