Manufacturing process

  1. Assemble the mould of the desired shape precisely in the clamping unit of the injection moulding machine.
  2. Melt thermoplastic pellets inside the heated barrel of the machine into a semi-solid state.
  3. Manually place filter paper into the mould at the prescribed layout with precision.
  4. Initiate the over-moulding process where the clamping unit slides inward and the injection unit charges the cavity using hydraulic pressure.
  5. Perform water cooling of the mould and eject the final air filter product using ejector pins.
  6. Pack the finished air filters appropriately and send them for sale.

Market

The demand for air filters is closely linked with two-wheeler production in India, driven by original equipment requirements and the replacement spare parts market.
