Husky Spotlight

Husky’s HyLECTRIC® and HyPERSYNC™ moulding platforms aim to provide efficiency and ‘unmatched performance’ for brands and producers facing rising operational costs and complex production requirements. In this edition of the Spotlight, the company details how its packaging moulding technologies deliver reliability and minimal material waste.

From pioneering thinwall cup moulds in the 1950s to introducing stack moulds in the 1960s, Husky has continuously led the way in advancing packaging moulding technology. Today, the company’s HyLECTRIC® and HyPERSYNC™ moulding platforms represent an evolution of this legacy, delivering unmatched performance, precision, and efficiency for brands and producers facing rising operational costs, sustainability mandates and increasingly complex production requirements.

Integrated melt delivery systems built for today and tomorrow’s needs

The HyLECTRIC® and HyPERSYNC™ platforms function as fully integrated melt delivery systems, seamlessly combining injection moulding machines with purpose-built Husky hot runners and mould controllers. This holistic approach to the control of plastic melt on the complete journey from the hopper to the mould ensures the best possible part quality, highest performance levels and minimum material waste while supporting the widest possible processing window.

Building on this integrated foundation, each platform delivers distinct advantages for specific production needs. The moulding platform is recognized as the best-in-class standard in packaging moulding, offering superior productivity, versatility, and ease of use.

Its distinctive three-platen clamping unit features Reflex™ platens that provide uniform clamp force distribution across the entire moulding surface, ensuring part-to-part consistency and extending tool life. Wide tie-bar spacing and robust clamp bases enable the system to run heavy, high-cavitation moulds that would typically require larger conventional machines, while flexible interface options and Industry 4.0 connectivity make it the heart of truly integrated system solutions.

The recently introduced HyLECTRIC® 6 represents the next generation of the product line featuring reduced non-process times, improved energy consumption and increased uptime resulting from Advantage+Elite™ monitoring capabilities. The HyPERSYNC™ moulding platform delivers unmatched performance, energy efficiency and reliability for thinwall food packaging, specialty closures, medical and personal care applications. Energy saving technologies including electric mould stroke, electric clamp lock, energy recovery and speed-variable servo pumps significantly decrease energy consumption without compromising performance.

Design engineering expertise and proven performance for demanding packaging applications

The HyLECTRIC® and HyPERSYNC™ moulding platforms excel across diverse packaging applications, including thinwall food containers and lids with in-mould labelling, pails, specialty closures, and sustainable packaging made from recycled and bio-based materials. Drawing on more than 70 years of packaging innovation, Husky’s proven HyLECTRIC® and HyPERSYNC™ product lines deliver the performance, flexibility, and efficiency needed to succeed.

Both platforms support stack mould configurations, effectively doubling output without increasing footprint, which is ideal for projects with high-volume requirements. Optimized screw geometry and material selection, as well as specialized high-wear-resistant treatment of melt stream components enable efficient processing of recycled and bio-based resins, enabling moulders to produce more sustainable packaging.

Elevating system capability even further is the integration of Husky’s proven Advantage+Elite™ remote monitoring service. By continuously tracking more than 70 performance parameters in real time, the service delivers proactive, data‑driven insights that maximize efficiency, enhance reliability, and optimize overall system performance and availability management.
