Husky Unify - Chapter 4 Installation and Removal; Lifting and Handling

Chapter 4 Installation and Removal
This chapter describes how to install and remove the hot runner assembly.
IMPORTANT!
The procedures contained in this chapter were written for a standard hot runner and do not take
special options into consideration.
4.1 Lifting and Handling
The following procedures describe how to safely lift plates and plate assemblies.
CAUTION!
Mechanical hazard – risk of damage to the hot runner. Do not lift plates using magnetic
lifting devices. These devices could potentially scratch a nely ground plate.
IMPORTANT!
Safety must be the primary consideration when lifting and moving a plate. Make sure to always
use suitable lifting equipment that is inspected regularly and follow the recommendations
outlined in this manual.
IMPORTANT!
Every mold and hot runner assembly is equipped with tapped lift holes for lifting either the
complete assembly or individual plates. Husky only supplies special lifting equipment (including
a lift bar and swivel hoist rings) when required. This lifting equipment is designed specically for
the mold/hot runner assembly. When Husky provides special lifting equipment, use only Husky
specied and supplied lifting equipment. Use Husky special lifting equipment to lift only the
designated mold or hot runner or component.
WARNING!
Crushing hazard – risk of death or serious injury. Inadequate lifting equipment could fail
and cause death or serious injury. Use only Husky specied or supplied lifting equipment.
