Husky Injection Molding Systems has been awarded with the Ringier 2015 Technology Innovation Award for the development of its Ultra Helix™ valve gate technology and its contribution to production efficiency and cost effectiveness. The award was presented to Husky representatives on October 28th, 2015 in Shanghai, China.
“We are pleased that Ultra Helix has been chosen to receive one of the industry’s most prestigious awards,” said Stefano Mirti, Husky’s President of Hot Runners and Controllers. “China is an important and exciting market for Husky and Ultra Helix™ demonstrates our commitment to developing innovative products that help to improve productivity and drive sustainability for customers not only in China, but all over the world.”
When developing Ultra Helix™, Husky conducted extensive research to deeply understand the fundamentals of valve gate dynamics, wear, and gate quality. As a result, Ultra Helix™ can direct-gate parts with gate vestige that is nearly unmeasurable, maintaining this level of quality for millions of cycles.
The Ringier Technology Innovation Awards were presented by Ringier Trade Media Ltd.’s International Packaging News for China, which is the country’s leading industry magazine. The awards were launched in 2006 as a tribute to companies in key industries, such as food and beverage, packaging, plastics and metalworking.
