The fundamental activity happening at Lykapack is plastic injection moulding. We started this process three decades back and have outgrown it. Currently, we have ventured and established in all horizontal as well as vertical aspects as of today’s market demand. Being in this field for over 30 years, we are happy to share with you the various processes, activities, and technologies we deal with.
In injection moulding, the products are manufactured by injecting a molten material into a mould, hence the name Injection Moulding. The material fed into a heated barrel is carry forward by the screw inside, during this process it gets melted and thoroughly mixed with additives. This mix is then injected into a mould cavity, where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the cavity. Parts to be manufactured via injection moulding must be very carefully designed to facilitate the moulding process. The material used for the part, the desired shape and features of the part, the material of the mould, and the properties of the moulding machine must all be taken into account.
The product design is finalized first. The required materials are purchased and machined to make various mould parts. These are then assembled to form the final functional mould. Our tool room is equipped with CNC machines, specialised software and experienced technicians to meet this requirement. We have mastered this art and the performance of the moulds is unrivalled.
IML is a technology for decorating moulded products. A label of the same material as the base product is fused with it while moulding. So technically speaking, what you get is a single product, where the label and the base product become inseparable. But from a consumer point of view, what you get is a very attractive product, depending on the design of the content on the label. The robot and its accessories are the most critical factor. Its performance greatly determines the proper and correct placement of labels with high precision. Our toolroom is expertized in making accessories for the IML robots.
In Dry Offset printing, the image to be printed is first transferred onto a blanket. The blanket then transfers onto the product. Our facility prints up to eight colours on a product. The design of the print content lays a great influence on the attractiveness of the product. We have our photo studio equipped with skilled artists and software to provide valuable suggestions. Our printing machines have the feature of Own Mandrel Curing (OMC) with UV light. This enables instantaneous drying of products making them ready to pack.
