Husky Injection Molding Systems today announced that it will showcase its latest technologies in hot runners and controllers at Chinaplas 2014 (April 23 – 26, Shanghai, China), including two new products; the ALTANIUM MATRIX2™ temperature controller and UNIFY™ manifold systems.
Husky recently established its hot runners and controllers business as a strategic priority and is focused on developing innovative products and services that solve customers’ key injection molding challenges in areas such as gate quality, balance, ease of use and maintainability.
“Our new UNIFY™ manifold systems and ALTANIUM MATRIX2™ hot runner controller continue to prove that we are leaders in the industry by continuously driving innovation,” said Gerardo Chiaia, Husky’s President of Hot Runners. “Customers continue to benefit from our technology with improved gate quality, balance, ease of use and maintainability.”
Husky’s presence at Chinaplas will take a targeted approach by displaying hot runner and controller technology to serve key markets, including consumer electronics, medical, automotive and closures. The technologies to be demonstrated include the ULTRA SIDEGATE™ hot runner, Ultra nozzles, ULTRASYNC-E™ hot runner and the latest developments in synchronized stem control applications. Also featured will be the latest expansions to the Altanium® temperature controller product line, including the recently launched ALTANIUM DELTA3™ and upcoming ALTANIUM MATRIX2™. Husky will also be introducing several new products at the show that address the industry’s need for improved thermal uniformity, increased valve stem control, better gate quality and our UNIFY™ manifold systems technology designed to simplify hot runner installation.
Husky’s goal is to be the industry’s first choice for melt delivery systems and adopt a scientific approach to reducing sources of waste and variability in the injection molding process. This goal has led the company to introduce new design and manufacturing processes to help make Husky hot runners the most thermally uniform in the industry. This approach is also being applied to developing nozzles with longer life and superior valve gate quality, as well as expanding the scope of ALTANIUM® controlled processes
