Electric injection moulding machines that have
been introduced in the last few years are more energy efficient
and have better product repeatability compared to the conventional
hydraulic machines. They also reduce noise level considerably.
Husky, a leading injection moulding machine supplier,
well known for thin wall mouldings has recently developed a new
Hylectric injection moulding machine that is a hybrid between electric
and an improved hydro-mechanical system.
This equipment has an electric screw drive and
therefore has almost the same energy efficiency as that of electric
machine. The testing of this new equipment indicates that it has
similar product repeatability and noise level. In fact, Husky feels
confident that this new type of injection moulding machine particularly
in the area of fast injection mouldings would provide better advantages
compared to the electric machines.
