designs of different sizes, shapes and colours. Among the technology it has on show to meet this development in the packaging sector, the new versatile HyPET5 PET systems portfolio will make its debut. Husky is also demonstrating its flexible, lower cavitation NexPET system and mould. For the first time, Husky will also be running its high-pro- ductivity HyPET HPP5e system, which it says delivers design freedom, energy savings, system reliability, superior preform quality and user friendliness. The heightened focus on sustainable packaging

nozzle. This permits ready-to-mount systems, designed and produced according to individual customer specifications. Easy assembly and dismantling in the mould are key features, as is freedom from leakage and optimum temperature homogeneity. �

HRSflow, developer of the FLEXflow hot runner technology, will showcase a family mould for the production of high quality upper and lower bumper parts in one shot at K2019. Both parts are moulded using PP+14% talc and are characterised by large volume differences: 3,333 cm³ and 2,170 cm³ respectively. The use of FLEXflow produces surfaces without any flow marks and an accurate control of deflection on each component. The mould is equipped with a 21-nozzle, electrically- driven valve gate hot runner system including two angled nozzles. A second family mould example will be the hot runner system for one-shot production of three high-quality PP parts for a car interior door module, with volumes of 560 cm³, 338 cm³ and 58 cm³ and wall thickness ranging from 2.3 mm to 3 mm. The mould is equipped with an 8-nozzle, electrically- driven valve gate hot runner system designed for sequential injection moulding, allowing for a cycle time of approximately 55 s. Both hot runners are equipped with the new FLEXflow one manifold servo driven valve gate cylinders with reduced cut-out, higher accuracy and enhanced repeatability. �

Husky is making the packaging market a central focus for its presence at K2019. It says a new generation of shoppers is demanding more choice and unique, personalised products, which drives plastic producers to develop more package
42 INJECTION WORLD | September 2019
is addressed by Husky technology for using more PCR, including PET preform moulding systems capable of handling recycled content and PCR options for Multi-Layer Technology. Husky is also showcasing its technology for moulds and hot runners. Innovative products include the new Ultra Helix 250 T2 valve gates, which are designed to improve part quality and maintain superior gate quality for millions of cycles for small parts with difficult to access gate loca- tions. It is also showing its latest family of Altanium Mold Controllers, providing accurate temperature, integrated servo and valve gate control. �

Kistler, the mould cavity sensor and process monitoring technology company, has incorporated artificial intelligence into its latest offering for injection moulders, called ComoNeoPredict. The company says: “Maximum quality can be achieved thanks to this method of calculating the properties of manufactured parts in advance.” A virtual production network on the Kistler stand will visualise live data from partner companies operating its ComoNeo platform during K2019. ComoNeo offers features such as process monitor- ing based on cavity pressure for conventional and multicomponent injection moulding (ComoNeo- Merge). The system also enables automated switchover of the machine based on cavity pres- sure (ComoNeoSwitch) as well as balancing of hot runner control systems (ComoNeoMultiflow). All quality-related process data generated with ComoNeo can be transmitted to higher-level systems such as MES or ERP. �
