Husky Technologies launches HyCAP 4.0 tooling for beverage closures
Husky Technologies has launched HyCAP 4.0, a new tooling platform for beverage closure manufacturing designed to support ultra-lightweight and tethered closures. The platform uses polymer bushings and an optimised stack design intended to extend mould life and cut unplanned downtime, and is built to help customers meet tethered-cap regulations without new capital investment.
Why this mattersTooling that supports both tethered and standard closures without retooling lets converters adapt to spreading tethered-cap mandates at lower capital cost.
- Husky Technologies launched the HyCAP 4.0 tooling platform on 15 September 2026.
- The tooling supports both tethered and non-tethered beverage closure production.
- Polymer bushings reduce steel-to-steel contact to extend mould life over millions of cycles.
- The platform targets ultra-lightweight closure designs to reduce material use.
- It is designed for high-speed production while maintaining tight tolerances.
