EVENT REVIEW PETplanet Insider Vol. 26 No. 10/25 www.petpla.net 36 Husky features 200 cavity HyPET 6e, PET caps and other new solutions Driving sustainability without compromising performance Husky Technologies was showcasing its latest breakthroughs in sustainable beverage packaging production at drinktec, amongst them the global debut of the HyPET 6e 200 cavity platform, the HyCAP SecuRE PET closure technology and the global monitoring solution Advantage+Enterprise. Bradley Selleck, Husky’s CEO, told visitors to the company’s stand at drinktec 2025 that the company firmly believes that sustainability should never mean compromise. “The industry has moved beyond the old trade-offs between recyclability, performance, quality, or speed. PET is uniquely positioned as the most circular packaging material and at drinktec 2025, we’re proud to showcase how Husky is enabling beverage packaging producers to build a truly circular future while continuing to grow their businesses.” Husky’s stand at drinktec hosted four product launches, led by the world premiere of the company’s next-generation HyPET 6e platform. It features a 200 cavity system and new, advanced vacuum drying technology that Husky says advances rPET processing with superior energy efficiency, precise control, material protection, and higher uptime. The platform enables producers to process higher levels of rPET while maintaining consistent part quality and lowering overall part costs, the company claims. Another version of the system, launched at the same time, was HyPET NX6, which is described as a ‘next generation mid-volume PET system’. It is designed to deliver high production efficiency and preform quality, at an affordable entry point. Closure forming solution The third global launch was presented by Michael White, Director Business Development - Closures. He focused on the HyCAP SecuRE+, a novel closure forming technology that enables both bottles and closures to be made entirely of PET, thus creating a fully circular, mono-material package. The technology features a new tamper-evident design that helps to boost consumer security and improved capping performance, which contributes to greater line efficiency. It is compatible with industry-standard CETIE neck finishes and with complex closure geometries, such as tethered caps. It offers lightweighting opportunities at the dispensing system level, leading to cost savings and improved sustainability. Husky says that the combination of its established advanced closure development expertise and HyCAP SecuRE+ enables producers to align with global circular economy goals while delivering high levels of package performance. “With HyPET 6e, producers can achieve unparalleled scale and efficiency while processing higher levels of rPET with confidence and consistency. SecuRE+ complements this by enabling a true complete mono-material PET package, bottle and closure together, delivering new levels of consumer security and recyclability,” said Robert Domodossola, Husky’s President of Systems and Tooling. Global monitoring platform Drinktec 2025 also saw the official launch of Advantage+Enterprise, a new global monitoring solution that builds on the company’s proven Global monitoring solution Advantage+Enterprise Various aspects of recycling were highlighted in the rPET Experience Center HyCAP SecuRE+
