MHT at NPE Chicago

The German injection mould tool makers Mold and Hotrunner Technology (MHT), which this year celebrates its 10th anniversary, will have plenty to show visitors to their stand (booth 9713) during NPE exhibition in Chicago. MHT is a leading manufacturer of PET preform moulds on a global basis and this year will be providing additional support for customers in America from a new location in the US. Continuously advancing mould tool technology, MHT was the first company to successfully introduce high cavity preform moulds (for example 192 cavities) and is still the only company in the world with 192 cavity moulds running in production. One of these moulds will be presented during the NPE show, running on a Netstal machine and outputting over 2 million preforms per day. Latest mould developments optimise water consumption and maximise heat transfer. Reduced energy costs and increased mould productivity are offered by the new High Performance stack moulds (HP-Stack) combined with new patented post-mould cooling technology. Cycle time for PET systems can be reduced by up to 30%.
