Technical Specifications & Performance Data This Husky injection
molding machine is engineered for high-efficiency cap and closure
production, making it an excellent choice for beverage production
environments that require consistent, high-quality outputs.
Manufactured in 2009, the unit features a 160-ton clamp force platform
paired with a 24-cavity cap mold optimized for 29/25 mm neck finishes.
It is supplied with robust auxiliary equipment to stabilize process
conditions and streamline operation in an industrial packaging
workflow. Manufacturer: Husky Injection Molding Systems Model: H160
RS45/42 Year: 2009 Application: Cap/closure molding for beverage
packaging Mold cavitation: 24 cavities Closure specification: 29/25
mm, Free Start Cap Nominal part weight: 1.20 g (cap) Clamp force: 160
tons Electrical supply: 400 V, 50 Hz, 3PH+N+PE Main supply current:
101 A Largest motor load: 42 A Largest heat load: 31 A Short-circuit
current rating (SCCR): 10 kA Included equipment: Altanium heater
controller, mold dehumidifier, hopper loader, color mixer unit,
available spare parts Advanced Automation & Control Systems The
machine is equipped with an Altanium heater controller to deliver
precise thermal management across the hot runner zones. This tight
temperature control promotes uniform melt flow, faster startups, and
reduced scrap, vital for thin-wall cap molding. The industrial control
panel supports a 3-phase + neutral + protective earth electrical
system, with clearly defined load ratings for motors and heating
circuits to facilitate safe integration and predictable operation.
Precision heater control with Altanium technology Clearly rated
electrical distribution for motors and heaters Stable process
conditions for consistent cap quality Designed for quick setup and
repeatable mold changeovers Production Line Integration Capabilities
This unit integrates seamlessly into cap and closure production cells
serving a used bottling line or standalone cap manufacturing
operations. It can feed downstream systems such as vision inspection,
lining/printing, and bulk handling for PET bottle closures. The 29/25
mm specification aligns with common beverage packaging neck finishes,
supporting high-throughput operations in industrial packaging
environments. Standalone or inline operation with downstream handling
Compatible with PET bottle packaging for beverage production
Auxiliaries included to stabilize material handling and color dosing
Machine Condition & Maintenance History The machine is indicated as
still in production, reflecting ongoing operational status and
functional readiness. The inclusion of a comprehensive set of
available spares and auxiliary units supports routine maintenance,
uptime, and rapid troubleshooting typical of second hand industrial
machinery maintained for continuous service. Operational status: in
production Auxiliaries and spares included for upkeep Operational
Performance & Versatility Purpose-built for beverage caps, the system
delivers repeatable, lightweight closures at scale. The 24-cavity mold
and precise heater control enable stable cycle times and dimensional
consistency. The Free Start Cap configuration suits U6354234 common
beverage applications where reliable seal integrity and low part
weight are crucial. Optimized for beverage caps with 29/25 mm neck
finish Supports lightweight cap designs around 1.20 g Stable thermal
profile for quality and repeatability Installation Requirements & Site
Preparation Site power must match the 400 V, 50 Hz, 3PH+N+PE
electrical specification. Proper ventilation for the dehumidifier and
space allocation for the hopper loader and color mixer are
recommended. Floor loading and clearances should accommodate a 160-ton
injection platform and allow safe access for mold changes and routine
maintenance. Electrical: 400 V, 50 Hz, 3-phase with neutral and PE
Allowance for auxiliaries: dehumidifier, hopper loader, color mixer
Access for mold change and service operations Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification The industrial control panel provides defined
short-circuit current rating and load segmentation to support safe
electrical integration. Physical guarding, interlocks, and emergency
stops typical of Husky engineering promote operator safety and
compliance with industrial safety practices for molding operations
serving beverage and packaging environments. Structured electrical
ratings for safe integration (SCCR 10 kA) Engineered for operator
safety and reliable production Suitable for cap molding within
beverage packaging workflows
