Built in 2009, the unit features a 160-ton clamping force platform combined with a 24-cavity cap mold optimized for 29/25 mm neck finishes. It comes with robust ancillaries to stabilize process conditions and simplify operation in an industrial packaging workflow. Manufacturer: Husky Injection Molding Systems Model: H160 RS45/42 Year: 2009 Application: Molding caps/closures for beverage packaging Mold Cavitation: 24 Cavities Clamp Specifications: 29/25 mm, Free Start Cap Nominal Part Weight: 1.20 g (cap) Clamping Force: 160 tons Power Supply: 400 V, 50 Hz, 3PH+N+PE Main Power Current: 101 A Maximum Motor Current: 42 A Maximum Heating Circuit Current: 31 A Allowable Short Circuit Current (SCCR): 10 kA Equipment Included: Altanium Heater Controller, Mold Dryer, Hopper Loader, Color Mixing Unit, Spare Parts Available Advanced Automation & Control Systems The machine is equipped with an Altanium Heater Controller to ensure precise thermal management in the hot runner zones. This precise temperature control promotes uniform melt flow, faster start-ups, and reduced scrap, critical factors for molding thin-walled caps. The industrial control cabinet supports a three-phase + neutral + protective earth electrical system, with clearly defined load ratings for motors and heating circuits to facilitate safe integration and predictable operation. Precise heater control with Altanium technology. Power distribution with clearly defined ratings for motors and heaters. Stable process conditions for consistent cap quality. Designed for rapid setup and repeatable mold changeovers. Production line integration capability. This unit integrates seamlessly into cap and closure production cells serving a pre-owned bottling line or into stand-alone cap manufacturing operations. It can power downstream systems such as visual inspection, coating/printing, and bulk handling for PET bottle closures. The 29/25 mm specification is compatible with neck finishes commonly used in beverage packaging, supporting high-productivity operations in industrial packaging environments. Standalone or in-line operation with downstream management Compatible with PET bottle packaging in beverage manufacturing Auxiliaries included to stabilize material handling and color dosing Machine Condition & Maintenance History The machine is still in production, indicating continuous operating status and ready functionality. The inclusion of a complete set of available spare parts and auxiliary units supports the routine maintenance, operational availability, and rapid troubleshooting typical of used industrial machinery maintained for continuous service. Operational Status: In Production Auxiliaries and spare parts included for maintenance Operational Performance & Versatility Designed specifically for beverage caps, the system provides lightweight, repeatable closures at scale. The 24-cavity mold and precise heater control enable stable cycle times and dimensional consistency. The Free Start Cap configuration is suitable for common beverage applications where 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 electrical supply must meet the 400 V, 50 Hz, 3 Ph+N+PE specification. Adequate ventilation for the dryer and dedicated space for the hopper loader and color mixing unit is recommended. Floor load and footprint must be able to support a 160 ton injection platform and allow safe access for mold changes and routine maintenance. Electrical: 400 V, 50 Hz, 3 Ph with Neutral and PE Space for auxiliaries: dryer, hopper loader, color mixing unit Access for mold change and service operations Safety Standards & Compliance Certifications The industrial control panel provides a defined short circuit current rating and load segmentation to support safe electrical integration. Husky-engineered physical guards, interlocks, and emergency stops promote operator safety and compliance with industrial safety practices for beverage and packaging molding operations. Structured electrical ratings for safe integration (10 kA SCCR). Designed for operator safety and reliable production. Suitable for cap molding in beverage packaging workflows
