HyPET Preform Systems - Husky Injection Molding …

1 Husky has been the leader in the Preform equipment industry for over 35 years with more than 3 500 Systems installed around the world. HyPET is our flexible Preform Injection Molding system capable of pro-ducing over 110 000 preforms per hour. It is available in seven sizes, ranging from 90 to 650 tonnes (100 to 715 tons) for molds between two and 192 cavities. All components of the HyPET system , including the hot runner, mold, machine, robot and post-mold cooling, are spe-cifically designed to work together as a fully integrated workcell to achieve the Turnkey solutions for every application and volumeHyPET Systems Industry-leading productivity Highly repeatable and reliable performance Easy-to-use operator interface Energy efficient Optional High Performance Package (HPP) Optional Flex Mold for fast, easy product and mold change Combining HyPET with Husky Services ensures customers achieve the lowest total cost of ownership over the product life cycleHyPET Preform Systemsindus tr y s highes t levels of pro duc tivit y and quality.

2 In addition, we offer a diverse range of services, including Preform devel-opment, Preform prototyping, Preform lightweighting, mold conversions and mold customers looking for a turnkey solu-tion for Preform production, Husky is the single point of contact for plant design, the complete Injection Molding system , the auxiliaries and downstream product handling equipment from our industry partners.

From barrier Systems to recycling technolo-gies to new materials, we are continually collaborating with industry leaders to bring new technologies and products to market. Integrated workcellsHusky s total Preform solutions also include resin dryers, dehumidifiers, chillers and soft-drop part handling Systems , all central-ly controlled through the Polaris Control op erator inter f ace. Advantages of this inte -gration include: Control of Molding system and auxiliaries from a single interface Remote connectivity through ServiceLink Integrated alarm handling and notifi cation for easy troubleshooting Assured total process control through SPCHyPET with High Performance PackageThe Husky High Performance Package (HPP) is the result of refinements to the entire HyPET Preform system , including mold, robot, Injection unit, clamp and auxiliary equipment.

4 Only through this coordinated effort has it been possible to significantly improve Molding cycle times, while still producing preforms with sup erior levels of qualit y. T his new te ch -nology typically reduces cycle times by approximately 15% compared to previous industry-best cycle productivity improvements offered by HyPET with HPP further reduce the cost of PE T pack aging, mak ing it even more competitive with glass, metal and carton alternatives. In June 2008, Western Container Corporation took on-time delivery of our latest Preform Molding system . The 192-cavity Husky Injection Molding system was in production on schedule. This installation and start-up was one of our best experiences with a Preform system integration in our history. It has cost-effectively expanded our production of a broad portfolio of Preform designs and colors for the Coca-Cola Company. We now have the world s highest output Preform system resulting from a Western Container Corporation Husky collaborative relationship.

By reducing the wall thickness of the Preform base to be more consistent with the body, the new shape allows for a weight reduction of the overall Preform by up to This results in lower costs and a reduced carbon design optimized for specific needsUpon review of the intended produc-tion equipment, Husky will optimize the EcoBase Preform s dimensions to meet an application s specific blowing and perfor-mance requirements. Easy to integrate into e xis ting molds, EcoBase re quires minimal changes to the Preform system . In most cases, no hardware changes to the blowing machine are energy utilization during reheatThe EcoBase Preform design improves heat absorption of the Preform base during blow Molding .

6 A traditional hemispherical Preform base is difficult to reheat because mos t of the inf rare d energ y is ref le c te d of f the surface of the Preform instead of being absorbed. EcoBase provides greater control of the reheat profile in the Preform base resulting in an improvement of up to 3% in energ y absorption during performanceDuring the blow Molding process, bottles with the EcoBase Preform design demon-s trate b et ter material dis tribution in the base of the b ot tle. T his is p ossible b e cause EcoBase eliminates the wasted material typically observed around the Injection point, allowing for an optimized Preform base. Testing has shown mechanical per-formance, including stress cracking, burst strength and top load, is consistently equal to or b et ter than b ot tles blown f rom pre -forms with the standard hemispherical base shape.

7 Preform molds are produced at dedicated facilities in Canada, the United States and Luxembourg. Husky continues to invest in these state-of-the-art facilities to increase capacity, reduce lead times and maximize par t qualit y. In - house tes t ro oms are capa -ble of testing all molds manufactured. Husky Preform molds are designed and built to produce the highest quality pre-forms at the best cycle times in the industry. Preform molds are available from two up to 192 c av ities . Productivity Fast cycling due to specially designed cooling circuits Part ejection sensors that monitor Preform transfer to the take-off plate, improving cycle time Standard interchangeable mold compo-nents; replacement parts available within 24 hours Two-piece cavity option allows the re-placement of wear parts without changing the entire cavity Reliability Rugged design for long life Roller cams that actuate both the opening and closing actions on the thread splits Ultra hot runners feature a spring pack that eliminates resin leakage between the manifold and the nozzle and longer valve gate seal life Part quality Lowest cavity-to-cavity weight and dimen-sional variation as a result of best-in-class manufacturing machines and processes Water hoses that are consolidated at the bottom of the mold.

8 Eliminating the potential for water marks on preforms Ease of maintenance Connecting bars are driven by a mainte-nance free cam assembly Stainless steel stacks eliminate Molding surface corrosion Mold refurbishmentMaintaining best-in-class quality pre-forms requires regular mold maintenance and scheduled refurbishing programs. Customers can quickly and easily convert or refurbish their molds at any location throughout Husky s industry-leading net-work of refurbishing prototypingAs part of a conversion or new product launch, Husky helps customers get new bottles to market quickly by offering Preform development and prototyping services. We are uniquely positioned to develop Preform designs that are opti-mized for production scale Molding . When the Preform design is final, we can imme-diately scale up to a production mold by transferring the project to our production team. Flex MoldFlex Mold is a flexible, low cavitation PET Preform mold.
