 PRODUCTION

RAW MATERIAL USED

Based on the demand and requirement like strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and cost. The
raw material is selected and fed to the injection moulding presses like NISSEI (FN 3000),
which is a hydraulic injection moulding machine.

[ Plastic granules of different grades ] [ Plastic dyes ]

Broadly, the raw material can be classified into several categories such as ;

1. Thermoplastics
Thermoplastics are the most commonly used materials in injection moulding. They can be melted and re-melted
multiple times without significant degradation, making them versatile and recyclable. Common thermoplastics
include

Polypropylene (PP) Nylon (Polyamide)

Polyethylene (PE) Polycarbonate (PC)

Polystyrene (PS) Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

2. Thermosetting Plastics

Unlike thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics harden permanently after being heated and cannot be remelted.
They are used when durable, heat-resistant materials are required.

Epoxy Resins

Phenolic Resins

Melamine Formaldehyde

3. Fillers and Additives

To enhance the properties of the base plastic such as increase strength, flexibility, resistance to
environmental factors, provide desired colors, various fillers and additives are used:

Fillers Plasticizers

Stabilizers Colorants

Flame Retardants

Other than plastics, different raw material are also used for moulding such as;

1.Metals

Aluminium Steel

Stainless Steel Brass

Copper Zinc
2. Glass

Borosilicate Glass

Soda-Lime Glass

Quartz Glass

3. Composites

Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP)

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP)

Aramid Fiber Reinforced Plastic

 PROCESS OF PRODUCTION

INJECTION MOULDING is a manufacturing process for producing parts from both

thermoplastic and thermosetting plastic materials.
Materials is fed into a heated barrel, mixed and forced into a mould cavity where it cools and
hardens to the configuration of the cavity.

BARREL DRIVE AND GEARING

INJECTION MOULDING STEPS

1. Material granules are melted down and injected into the mould.
2. The mould is held under pressure until the material cools and hardens.

3. Once the material hardens, the mould is opened and the part is removed and the process is
repeated again.

 QUALITY CHECK AND ASSURANCE

Kanishka Moulders are an ISO 9001 : 2008 Certified Company.

Being a quality conscious firm, it maintains high quality standards in the products and
policies. The products are manufactured using excellent quality material that are sourced
locally from vendors of high repute.
Latest machines and equipment are employed in the manufacturing process following
standards and norms of the industry.
Moreover, highly experienced quality controllers are employed to scrutinize the products on
certain well-defined parameters of quality, such as;
1. Construction
2. Reliability
3. Corrosion resistance
4. Finishing
5. Dimensional stability

Machines such as ELTECH-D 300 is used for checking the quality of the finished moulded
products such as;
Smoothness and uniformity of the edges
Conformity to specified dimensions and shapes
Absence of defects such as burrs or uneven cuts
 1. PRODUCTS

At Kanishka Moulders a wide range of products are offered ranging from both plastic and
metal bases such as
Distribution boxes Meter boxes

Plate load test equipment Insulation piercing connectors

Dead end clamps Suspension clamps

Glass windows Cable glands
 WASTE GENERATION AND TREATMENT

At Kanishka Moulders, the principles of circular economy are adopted, which emphasizes
sustainability and resource efficiency. As a small-scale industry, it was uniquely positioned to
meticulously oversee and optimize the production processes, resulting in significantly
reduced waste generation.
The approach begins with precise manufacturing techniques that minimize excess material
during production. The small scale of operations allows for stringent monitoring and control,
ensuring that any waste produced is kept to an absolute minimum.
The waste that is generated is not discarded at Kanishka Moulders. Instead, it undergoes a
detailed segregation process where materials are sorted based on their type and potential for
reuse. Plastics, metals, and other byproducts are carefully separated to ensure they can be
repurposed effectively, such as
Excess plastic (flash) left after the plastic is moulded is trimmed, collected weighed and sold
back to the local for reuse after melting them. Also, excess metal trimmings are also sold for
reuse after melting.

The red arrows points to the

excess material i.e. flash

But there are no major steps taken for water waste treatment. Water is used for cooling,
cleaning and as part of the manufacturing process. The water is discharged without much
treatment and may pose environmental risks.
Currently, the focus has primarily been on reducing solid waste and repurposing it as raw
material for other industries. This has proven effective in minimizing the environmental
footprint in terms of solid waste.
By implementing these practices, Kanishka Moulders not only reduces its environmental
footprint but also supports a sustainable industrial ecosystem. This commitment to the
circular economy helps conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and promote
sustainable development.
 HEALTH AND SAFETY

Here are detailed explanation of the key health and safety measures that are implemented at
Kanishka Moulders:

1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Employees are provided with appropriate PPE such as gloves, safety glasses, ear protection,
and safety shoes.

PPE is a must to wear at all times in designated areas to protect against injuries from
machinery, chemicals, and noise.

2. Machine Safety

All machines have proper guards in place to prevent accidental contact with moving parts.
Emergency stop buttons are easily accessible on all machinery to quickly halt operations if
necessary.

Employees are trained on proper lifting techniques and encouraged to use mechanical aids
when handling heavy objects. [ Guard Door to prevent accidental injury.]
3. Training and Education

New employees receive one-week comprehensive training on safe work practices, proper
equipment use, and emergency procedures.

Regular refresher courses and safety drills are conducted to keep employees up-to-date on
safety protocols and procedures.

4. Disaster Management

Adequate fire extinguishers are placed throughout the facility, with clear instructions on their
use. Fire alarms, smoke detectors, water hydrants are also installed at the premises.

Regular drills are conducted to ensure all employees know how to evacuate the building
safely, at the time of fire, earthquake.

5. Regular Inspections and Audits

Regular safety inspections are conducted to identify and rectify potential hazards.

Periodic safety audits by internal or external experts can help ensure compliance with safety
regulations and identify areas for improvement.

6. Reporting and Record Keeping

Employees are asked to report any safety concerns without fear of retaliation.

Detailed records of all safety incidents, training sessions, inspections, and audits are
maintained for reference and continuous improvement.

 CONCLUSION

Concluding my summer internship at Kanishka Moulders Pvt Ltd, I have gained invaluable
hands-on experience and deep insights into the moulding industry. Under the guidance of Mr.
Sachin, I have developed a solid understanding of the manufacturing processes, quality
control measures, and operational efficiencies essential for producing high-precision
moulded components.
One of the highlights of my internship was learning about the company's commitment to
environmental sustainability. I observed how Kanishka Moulders implements eco-friendly
practices, such as recycling plastic waste, optimizing energy consumption, and adhering to
environmental regulations. These practices not only reduce the company's carbon footprint
but also promote a culture of sustainability in the manufacturing sector.
This internship has significantly complemented my theoretical knowledge with practical
experience. Concepts and techniques I studied in my coursework were brought to life as I
actively engaged in real-world projects and problem-solving. I am grateful for the
opportunity to learn from such a reputable company, and I am confident that the knowledge
and experience I have gained will be instrumental in my future career endeavours.
