Injection Molding Manufacturers in India, Manufacture of Pharmaceutical Products
Injection molding is one of
the most popular method applied by Injection Molding Manufacturers in India
in order to create the products that require molded plastic parts depending
on its use and requirement. In this process, melted resin is injected into a
hollow mold until it is completely filled. Injection molding is one of the most
important manufacturing processes which has the capability of producing
complicated plastic parts in a variety of complex shapes with high dimensional
precision in a bulk amount. It converts thermoplastics and thermosetting
materials into complicated parts with the help of heat and pressure. Basically,
injection molding is considered as a repetitive, cyclical process in which
polymers are heated and gradually melted in the injection unit of an injection
molding machine, which resembles in principle an extrusion process. This molten
material is then transferred with the help of an injection step into a closed
and shape-specific mold cavity, basically duplicating the cavity of the mold.
After solidification, the article is recovered by opening the mold to release
the product.
Injection molding has been
widely used in the plastic processing industry for numerous applications, but now
a days it is also used in the pharmaceutical industries. In the healthcare
industry, a variety of products are made with the injection molding process
including plastic syringes and the tools used in medical procedures. The
healthcare industry depends heavily on injection molding method because it can
manufacture the products in bulk amount as many of these products are of single
use, disposable items to maintain sterility or to prevent the spread of germs
or diseases. Now a days, injection molding is frequently used for a plethora of
pharmaceutical /medical applications varying from the development of oral drug
delivery dosage forms to the design of complicated stents or implants.
The drug delivery systems
are often complex mixtures of active pharmaceutical ingredients and functional
excipients, such as meltable carriers, plasticizers and other processing aids
in case of Injection Molding. The meltable substance used in injection molding
is usually a thermoplastic polymer. The process does not require the use of
solvents, which is beneficial in terms of manufacturing times and costs as well
as of preserved stability. Injection
molding offers numerous advantages: a) a simple, continuous set-up with few
production steps that can easily be scaled-up, since mixing, melting,
homogenizing and shaping of the product occur in a single step, b) a reduction
in labor forces due to the extensive automation of the process c) elimination
of solvent residuals or a time-consuming drying step as solvents or water are
not used, d) large-scale industrial production by using multi-cavity molds, e)
design flexibility allowing the manufacturing of various shapes, and f) minimal
material loss make injection molding a viable, competitive and worthwhile
alternative for a variety of pharmaceutical and biomedical applications as
compared to conventional production technologies commonly applied in the
pharmaceutical industry.
Drug delivery
systems are important for providing a patient a therapy that can be
administered efficiently, effectively and easily. Maya Biotech keeps
these points under consideration while manufacturing its products and hence it is
a preferred Injection Molding Manufacturers in India, Manufacture of Pharmaceutical Products whose products
are used in the clinical market at a large scale.
