ISH 2017, platform for hybrid solutions
ISH, the definitive trade fair for sanitary systems, heating and air conditioning in Europe (14 to 18 March, Frankfurt), was the perfect moment for HSV to provide a platform for hybrid solutions and showcase it to the HVAC sector.
Unique total solution from HSV
In addition to the revelation of the hidden invention, trade fair visitors were introduced to the hybrid solutions offered by HSV. These unique total solutions combine particle foam and injection moulding into a single product.
The hybrid island
At our ‘hybrid island’, which showed off beautiful examples of these combinations, we spoke with many end-users about the unparalleled range of possibilities that the merger of these two production techniques offers. The HSV group is the only particle foam specialist in Europe that offers these types of integrated solutions in compact injection moulding and particle foams in an in-house approach.
HSV handles and supports the entire process from cradle to client, providing the design, production and assembly of injection-moulded frames and particle foam moulds.
In designing these composite products, the qualities of the various materials must be carefully coordinated to work in concert. Shrinkage, tolerances, thermal characteristics and joining technologies: HSV has all the necessary knowledge and experience at its disposal.
For instance, we apply the mechanical characteristics of injection-moulded frames and combine them with the light-weight, insulating properties of particle foams in a final product, resulting in beautiful hybrid products.
Unburdening our clients by saving time, reducing risks and cutting costs
The way that we relieve our clients’ concerns, especially with regard to the time savings, risk reduction and cost savings that we achieve for our clientele, was received enthusiastically.
A number of benefits for in-house product development at HSV:
- Save time by tackling technical challenges at an early stage.
- Reduce procurement risks which arise when purchasing components from different suppliers.
- Efficient logistical answers that will save you money.
‘One-stop-shopping’ was a term that was frequently used at the trade fair.
