Husky Technologies has announced the launch of its next-generation Husky HyCAP 4.0 tooling platform, engineered to advance injection moulding performance for beverage closure manufacturing.

Designed to address evolving sustainability demands and regulatory pressures, the system combines precision engineering, enhanced durability, and operational flexibility to optimise high-speed closure production.

Key benefits for beverage manufacturers

• Precision engineering for lightweighting: optimised tooling geometries and tight tolerance controls allow producers to manufacture ultra-lightweight closures with exceptional repeatability. This reduces resin consumption and material costs without compromising closure strength or seal integrity.

• Regulatory versatility: built to handle complex closure designs, the platform supports both tethered and non-tethered applications. Manufacturers can transition between closure formats to comply with expanding global tethered closure mandates without requiring major capital reinvestments.

• Extended mould life and reduced friction: a key design enhancement is the integration of polymer bushings, which reduces steel-to-steel contact across critical core components. This cuts component wear, lowers the risk of mechanical failures, and significantly extends preventive maintenance intervals over millions of cycles.

• Lower total cost of ownership (TCO): by stabilising process performance at fast cycle times and streamlining servicing requirements, the platform improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE). Producers benefit from reduced spare parts consumption, minimised unplanned downtime, and lower labour costs.
