As the world’s largest moldmaker, Husky is able to deliver global tooling programs for new molds or conversions of any size. 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 part quality. In-house test rooms are capable of testing all molds manufactured. Preform molds range from single to 192 cavities

Productivity

• Industry-leading productivity based on fast cycle times and high efficiency levels
• Part ejection sensors that monitor preform transfer to the take-off plate, improving cycle times and reducing the risk of mold damage
• Standard interchangeable mold components; replacement parts available
• Two-piece cavity option allows the replacement of wear parts without changing the entire cavity
• Choice of standard or High Performance Package (HPP) designs to best match the output of the system to production requirements
• Multi-position take-off plates and post-mold cooling devices ensure, cool, damage-free preforms exit the conveyor

Reliability

• High quality materials and proven mold designs ensure long mold life
• Stress on neck ring slides is minimized by placing connecting bars closer to the center of the molding area
• Roller cams that actuate both the opening and closing actions on the thread splits and are customized based on the particular preform design
• Ultra hot runners feature a spring pack that increases the temperature operating range and eliminates leaking plastic
• Stainless steel stacks eliminate molding surface corrosion and reduce refurbishing and conversion costs

Part Quality

• Lowest cavity-to-cavity weight and dimensional variation as a result of best-in-class manufacturing machines and processes
• Water connections consolidated at the bottom of the mold, eliminating the potential for water marks on preforms
• Variety of stack designs and surface finish options to allow each application to be optimized to meet customer’s specific needs
• Special programs available when tighter than industry standard dimensional and/or weight tolerances are required
