Plastic Moulds Makers Mould India’s Progress

A monograph titled ‘Plastics & Environment’, jointly published by Indian Centre for Plastics in the Environment (ICPE) and Central Institute of Plastics Engineering & Technology (CIPET) is worth reading. Reviewing this, renowned journalist on issues concerning ecology, Nidhi Jamwal had observed that this ‘eco-assessment study’ is a must read for those concerned about the ‘plastic age’ in which we live. 

Indeed, her views are relevant since the synthetic material based packaging in the form of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) was a shot in the arm to the FMCG segment whereas a particular lobby of environmentalists had sternly opposed it and also usage of other formulations like polyethene (PE), polypropylene (PP) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Fortunately, polymer scientists and technologists proved that a majority of such as PET are eco-friendly and recyclable. It was also noted that apart from the quality of the materials, the mould with which various products are packed also play a pivotal role.

As for Preform Molds India is fortunate to have companies engaged in perfect design and development of these components that are very crucial in various plastic extrusion machines and packaging systems. The characteristics of their excellence in performance depends on the specific high grade imported steel, usually of Swedish, German (DIN1.2738 and DIN 1.2316) and Japanese make.

To cite an instance, a company based at Noida in Delhi NCR with its infrastructure, expertise in technology and worldwide recognition for the range of products and services has proved to be a leading Blow Moulds Manufacturer in India. Such has been this company’s saga of success over the past two and half decades.

 

The secret behind these achievements is attributed to its corporate objective of commitment to quality standards, cost effectiveness and timely delivery. Armed with this trump card, it has recorded rapid growth rate of over 50% since its inception. 

It has literally earned name and fame for its mastery in providing appropriate solutions related to hot runner systems. These hot runners ensure consistent cavity-to-cavity filling enabled by molten channel sizing analysis where balance, shear rate and pressure drop are optimized.

Apart from these, the company has been in the forefront of developing and manufacturing caps and closure moulds.  These are designed with a view to achieve optimum high-speed and cavitations alongside maximised volume applications. Advanced taper positioning technology is adapted for concentricity of the product during the sealing process of the containers like bottles and jars.

All these aspects have paved the way for setting of new standards in productivity, reliability and future-proofing of the PET as the packaging medium. In other words, they have reiterated the comments of Nidhi Jamwal mentioned at the outset. That this recyclable material, also known as PET-r has given a befitting reply to all campaigners who keep crying foul over the apprehended adverse effects of plastics.

The life cycle analysis of various plastic products reveals that plastics create lesser environmental pollution in the atmosphere vis-à-vis the alternatives. Although less percentage of plastics products are used for recycling, their overall potential is much higher. As plastic consumption is expected to grow at more than 10% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR), the scope of recycling of plastics is huge.
