Yudo India introduced a new Hot Runner technology aimed at transforming the CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) material, which is mainly used for pipe & its accessories segment in India, significantly reducing material wastage and enhancing production efficiency.
Vishal Agarwal, President of Yudo India, said, "CPVC is a challenging material. For years, the industry had no option but to accept the high wastage levels. With our new Hot Runner technology, we are enabling local manufacturers to produce at scale with consistency."
Vishal claims that the new solution, developed by Yudo, enables CPVC Molders to reduce raw material wastage by 40 to 80 per cent while increasing production efficiency by 20 to 40 per cent. This comes at a time when the Indian market is witnessing growing demand for high-performance pipe systems, with nearly 50 per cent of the country’s CPVC material currently being imported.
Traditionally, Indian CPVC Injection Molding relied on outdated processes that led to considerable material loss. With the introduction of Yudo’s technology, the industry is expected to better utilise resources and reduce dependence on material imports.
India is among the largest consumers of CPVC pipe fittings globally. The domestic demand has expanded with increasing urbanisation and infrastructure development. However, high raw material costs and process inefficiencies have long hindered local manufacturers.
Yudo’s new systems are set to impact the import-driven segment of the CPVC market, aligning with the government’s push for local manufacturing under the 'Make in India' initiative. The successful application of Yudo’s system could lead to broader technology upgrades in related sectors, particularly where precision and moulding consistency are critical with a very high production volume, added Vishal.
