Injection Moulding Machine for Dosing Cups and Oral Dosing Spoons
Dosing cups and oral dosing spoons are moulded on horizontal injection moulding machines, using multi-cavity hot runner tools, from medical-grade PP, PS or PE. Cavity count and cup depth set the clamp and opening stroke. Dose accuracy matters most, since the internal volume each graduation marks has to hold after shrinkage.
Machine selection for dosing cups focuses on cavity-to-cavity consistency, steady core position for even walls and a process that repeats lot after lot. Pratishna Engineers supplies horizontal injection moulding machines for dosing cups and spoons and can recommend a configuration for your part, mould and volume.

Machine Requirements for Dosing Cup and Spoon Moulding
A dosing cup looks like a giveaway part, but its marked volume is a regulated claim checked by fill test:
- Balanced hot runner filling for equal volume in every cavity
- Core alignment that keeps cup walls even and centred
- Mould temperature control so graduations hold after shrinkage
- Clear PP or PS grades free of specks and splay
- Opening stroke and ejection suited to deep nesting cups
- Gate placed off the graduation scale and spoon bowl
Recommended Machine for Dosing Cups and Spoons
Cups and spoons are light parts run in high-cavity tools, so total projected area and mould size set the clamp. Lower-cavity cup and spoon moulds can sit on the Hybrid PH Series (120-140 T) or the E Series (75-180 T). High-cavity hot runner tools and deeper cups usually go to H Series (120-350 T) machines, or C Series (140-320 T) for a wider mould.

FAQs / Buyer Questions
What oral dosing accessory makers ask before ordering a machine.
Which Injection Moulding Machine Is Used to Make Dosing Cups and Spoons?
A horizontal machine sized by cavity count and cup depth. Hybrid PH and E Series models suit lower-cavity tools, and high-cavity hot runner moulds for cups or spoons move to the C or H Series.How Is Dose Accuracy Checked on a Measuring Cup?
By fill test on moulded parts, not by measuring the tool. Cups from each cavity are filled to the graduation and the volume is checked, and the test is repeated after any change of resin, mould or process.Which Resin Is Used for Dosing Cups and Spoons?
Medical-grade PP is common for cups and spoons, with clarity grades so the patient can read the liquid level. PS gives a rigid clear cup, and PE suits softer spoons. Grades are chosen for contact with the medicine.
Why Is a Medical Dosing Cup Different From a Kitchen Measuring Cup?
The moulding is similar, but the medical version carries a dose claim. That brings lot traceability, validated graduations and fill testing, so the machine has to hold the same process across long runs and resin lots.Can Pratishna Recommend a Machine for My Dosing Cup or Spoon?
Yes. Share the cup or spoon drawing, resin, part weight, cavity count, mould dimensions and annual quantity, and Pratishna Engineers will recommend a suitable machine.Does the Machine Suit Other Pharma Consumables Too?
Yes, subject to the mould. Medication trays, droppers, pharma vial closures and specimen containers can run on the same class of machine, each with its own tool.
