Injection Moulding Machine for IV Set Components
IV set components such as drip chambers, roller clamps, spikes and Y-sites are made on horizontal injection moulding machines in small multi-cavity moulds from medical-grade PP, PC, ABS and PE. Each part has its own tool, so cavity count and the largest part set the size. Resin choice matters most, since bonded parts must take the tubing solvent.
Machine selection for IV set parts focuses on running several small tools as a set, repeatable filling of fine spike points and clear chamber walls. Pratishna Engineers supplies horizontal injection moulding machines for IV set component moulding and can recommend a configuration for each tool in your set.

Machine Requirements for IV Set Component Moulding
An IV set is a family of small tools rather than one part, and each brings its own moulding demand:
- Clear drip chamber walls without flow lines or haze
- Sharp, flash-free spike points from fine core inserts
- Consistent roller and housing fit for steady clamp friction
- Resin grades compatible with solvent bonding to tubing
- Small shot weight held steady across multi-cavity tools
- Clean moulding area and segregated resin for each part
Recommended Machine for IV Set Components
Most IV set mouldings are small, so the Hybrid PH Series (120-140 T), with electric injection, and the E Series (75-180 T) cover many of the tools in a set. Higher-cavity drip chamber or Y-site moulds may need a C or H Series machine, which is why each tool is sized on its own.

FAQs / Buyer Questions
Common questions from IV set makers planning a moulding line.
Which Injection Moulding Machine Is Used to Make IV Set Components?
Small horizontal machines, often one per tool. Hybrid PH and E Series machines suit many spike, clamp and Y-site moulds, while higher-cavity chamber tools may move to the C or H Series.Should IV Set Parts Be Quoted as One Set?
Yes. A full set is several separate mouldings plus extruded tubing, and the tubing and bag film are outside moulding scope. Quoting the moulded parts together shows how many machines and tools the line needs.How Is Roller Clamp Friction Kept Consistent?
The roller and housing resins are paired on purpose, and the track width must stay steady from shot to shot. Shrinkage shifts from mould temperature or holding pressure drift change how hard the roller grips the tubing.
Why Does Drip Chamber Clarity Matter?
Drops are counted through the chamber wall, so clarity is functional rather than cosmetic. Polished mould steel, resin dried where the grade needs it and controlled injection speed keep flow lines and haze off the wall.Can Pratishna Recommend a Machine for My IV Set Component?
Yes. Share drawings or samples of each part, resins, cavity counts, mould dimensions and target sets per day, and Pratishna Engineers will recommend machines for the set.Does the Machine Suit Other Medical Fluid Parts Too?
Yes, subject to the mould. Similar machines can mould luer lock fittings, medical fluid connectors, oxygen mask components and droppers, each sized to its own tool.
