Hot Runner System Demonstrates More Precise Melt Control

Husky Technologies debuts its Ultrashot hot runner injection system. This  technology is designed to increase overall part design freedom and speed to market with high scale and quality. 

Live at NPE2024, the Ultrashot team shows attendees:

• How to increase scale faster with lower risk and go to market faster
• How to increase yield by reducing scrap rates
• How to eliminate subsequent manufacturing steps
• How to enable new part designs and new resins use; parts can be manufactured based on function.

The UltraShot features a servo-controlled injection system that permits more precise melt control right in the gate. This is achieved by positioning the shooting pots in closer proximity to the gates and pressurizing the resin near the cavities, which reduces shear and thermal variations in part quality and performance. This enables part freedom, removing design barriers caused by injection molding process constraints.

According to Husky Technologies, the market continues to evolve with more demanding and technical molding applications, which is fueling the development of new, advanced hot runners and injection systems that focus on part quality with higher cavitation output. With Ultrashot technology, Husky states, parts that were once “unmoldable” can now be produced in highly efficient, injection molding production cells.
