Hot Runners and Temperature Controllers Better parts, faster cycles Complete tooling solutions Application specific solutions Pristine gate quality Fastest cycles Fast color change Accurate, reliable temperature control Resin testing Mold-filling analysis Mold process optimization Proactive maintenance and refurbishment Leakproof guarantee It all starts with the part Husky works to gain a detailed understanding of a customers' business and project requirements at the tooling level. This parts first approach reflects our goal of offering melt delivery solutions optimized for each application—helping customers bring products to market faster while achieving the highest levels of quality at the lowest part cost. Our value-added services include in-depth application review and recommendation, resin testing, flow simulation, finite element analysis, 24-hour service parts support and local service. Offering a complete tooling solution, Husky hot runners are available in both hot tip and valve gate configurations depending on application requirements and are available as complete hot halves consisting of a manifold, Ultra nozzles and plates, supported by an integrated Altanium® temperature controller. Our technologies help customers to minimize waste and increase production efficiencies. By optimizing the entire melt delivery system we can ensure best gate quality, cavity-tocavity balance and fast color changes.

Complete hot halves with plates Every hot runner we build is optimized for its specific application. Our complete systems are fully tested prior to shipment, are delivered ready to bolt on and run and are backed by a three-year leakproof guarantee. With a regular three-year refurbishment process, we can offer our customers an extended life-time leakproof guarantee. Our systems experience includes: • Low cavitation • PRONTO® systems for fast delivery and reduced cost • High cavitation • Tight pitch • Stack systems up to 2 x 96-drops • Multi color and multi-material • Variety of stem...

Products Ultra nozzles Husky’s market-proven Ultra nozzle family is engineered for reliability and performance. Ultra nozzles use advanced tip technology and optimized materials to deliver exceptional performance. Ultra nozzles offer the flexibility of hot tip and valve gate solutions with standard gating options available over a wide range of applications. • Five nozzle sizes • Melt channel diameters from 4 mm to 18 mm (0.16" – 0.7") • Over 50 gating styles • More than 30 standard nozzle lengths Custom and configurable hot runners All Husky hot runners are optimized for customer specific...

Support Flow simulation Predicting filling behavior at the part design stage can reduce trial and error and development costs, as well as improve speed to market. Our flow simulation team offers a complete solutions approach to improving productivity. Flow simulation examines polymer flow behavior when injected into the cavity (fill, pack, cool analysis) and once ejected (warpage analysis). Our dedicated team is able to review filling behavior providing the following benefits: Part design • Determine the optimal number of gates, gate location and size, weld line location, fiber orientation...

Altanium Temperature Controllers Altanium controllers are designed to provide the most accurate temperature control possible using distributed control and Active Reasoning Technology (ART). Distributed control offers the fastest reaction times by placing the heater signals and power switching directly on the control board. ART optimizes the control of each individual heater in the mold, automatically selecting the best possible algorithm for each heater. Recognized as the easiest controller to operate, Altanium features simple to navigate user interfaces. With accurate temperature control...
