K2025: Husky puts on display of PET/closure moulding solutions; rPP cup, hot runners and more

Injection moulding technology provider Husky Technologies is making a comeback to the K show with a slew of showcases in packaging, hot runner, and medical moulding solutions. One of the innovations is the next evolution in packaging moulding with a complete digital platform.

Featuring a new design, enhanced system architecture, and fully integrated hot runner and mould controller technologies, the platform is further strengthened by Husky’s proven Advantage+Elite remote monitoring service. Already securing more than 1,500 Husky PET and closure systems worldwide, Advantage+Elite^T is now offered for the new packaging moulding platform. By tracking more than 70 new packaging performance parameters in real time, the service delivers proactive insights that help maximise efficiency, reliability, and overall performance management.

Running daily throughout the full course of the show will be a new high performance HyperSync system, producing a rPP lightweight thinwall dairy cup application with in-mould label and running a 3.8 second cycle time. The system incorporates a fully integrated melt delivery system, robot, and auxiliaries, including an 8-cavity mould and side-entry robot from Muller, Husky Ultra Helix hot runner, Husky Delta5 Mold Controller with DataWave 2.0 technology, and PET Solutions upstream auxiliaries.

Also being introduced is Husky’s next generation Hylectric6 platform featuring increased energy efficiency, enhanced user experience, improved performance via reduced non-process time, and optimised feeds screws yielding boosted throughput and recovery capabilities. The new system is connected to Advantage+Elite 24/7 remote monitoring to alert customers with actionable insights.

Also being introduced for the first time at K is the company’s new Altanium MultiShot technology that redefines multi-material moulding. This fully integrated solution combines advanced secondary injection units along with rotary platen technology to transform conventional single-barrel machines into high-efficiency, multi-material production cells.

Designed to enhance manufacturing flexibility, throughput, and performance, Altanium MultiShot empowers producers to expand moulding capabilities while maintaining precision and efficiency.

Husky is also demonstrating its latest advancements in hot runner and controller technologies, engineered not just for melt flow, but to expand possibilities across packaging, medical, personal, and home care markets.

On display is the new Ultra Helix 2.0 Valve Gate system, offering robustness, and cycle consistency to maximise uptime and productivity, as well as the next generation Ultra SideGate 2.0, which now supports up to 8-tip configurations in a compact mould design, enabling millions of cycles of repeatable performance.

Product announcements continue with the launch of the company’s new Altanium controller platform including Neo6, Delta6, and Matrix6. These fully redesigned controllers allow for precision and profitability with faster startups, superior resin protection, and optimised energy use.

In the medical market, Husky’s solutions support the production of critical devices – from pre-filled syringes, pen injectors, and auto-injectors, to pipette tips and petri dishes. Through integration with Schöttli’s proprietary gating technologies, Husky is expanding capabilities across parenteral, diagnostics, and laboratory applications, where precision and reliability are necessary.

“Husky’s return to KShow represents more than a product launch, it’s a defining moment in our journey to reshape the future of manufacturing,” said Bradley Selleck, Husky’s CEO.

Husky is located in Hall 13, Booth A61.
