- New facility adds injection moulding, extrusion capabilities
- Expansion covers thermoplastics, elastomers, engineering polymers
Syrma Johari MedTech Ltd (SJML) has expanded its manufacturing footprint with a 1.29 lakh sq ft medical plastics and precision moulding facility. The facility integrates injection moulding, plastics extrusion and stretch blow moulding for polymer-based components used in medical devices, diagnostics and healthcare applications.
New facility adds plastics processing capabilities
The facility currently has 0.98 lakh sq ft developed, with 0.31 lakh sq ft reserved for future expansion.
The facility includes 80T, 130T and 280T injection moulding systems, a 30-80 kg/hr extrusion line and 2.5-litre PET stretch blow moulding capacity.
Its material-processing capabilities cover thermoplastics, elastomers and engineering polymers, including Polypropylene, Polyethylene, Polystyrene, Polycarbonate, Thermoplastic Elastomers, Polyamide 6, and Polyamide 66 and glass-fibre-reinforced polymer systems.
Medical applications drive polymer demand
The facility is designed to manufacture polymer-based components and consumables including housings, cartridges, containers, tubing, fluid-handling components and microfluidic assemblies.
Secondary processes, including screen printing, pad printing, laser printing and assembly, can also be integrated into the manufacturing platform.
The facility includes ISO Class 7 and ISO Class 8 cleanrooms for applications requiring controlled manufacturing conditions and particulate management.
SJML said the expansion brings materials, tooling, processing, validation and scale-up capabilities closer together within its manufacturing platform. The facility will support applications across diagnostics, critical care, medical devices and associated consumables.
