Manufacturing of Needles and Syringes

Start manufacturing of disposable syringe is very good idea. You will need almost same documentation and procedure for starting disposable syringe manufacturing company as in case of pharma manufacturing company. For manufacturing syringe you also have to get approval from drug control department along with NOC from pollution department.

You need few different specification in plant layout in manufacturing of disposable syringe. Disposable syringe is manufactured with plastic material and has to make them sterilized, so you require machinery according to it.Disposable syringes are mostly injection moulded from polypropylene. Syringes are available in different sizes like 1 ml, 2 ml, 5 ml and 10 ml, 50ml. To manufacture variety of designs, the number and size of injection moulding machine should be fixed as per need.

Production of disposable syringe requires following steps:

  • Raw Material 
  • Moulding machine 
  • Automatic Sterilization Plant 

Raw material used is polypropylene. This is fed into special moulding machine and special moulds. Then moulded it in chilled conditioned to get better clarity. When it has been converted into disposable syringe. It is sent into sterilization plant where it is being sterilized by using ethylene oxide. Disposable syringe is then assembled with sterilized needle. This process is totally sterilized to prevent any contamination because it is ready to use disposable syringe.

Needles could be out sourced. Then complete syringe is packed in blister by using blister packing machine This is simple process to manufacture disposable syringes. But you have to get manufacturing license from drug control department. If you don’t have idea about syringe manufacturing, you should visit any existing plant that are manufacturing disposal syringe in India. That is very good to understand the process. Visiting local drug control office will also be beneficial for you to understand documentation and formalities. Adequate space is required for starting manufacturing.
