§1What this business is
Plastic granules — polypropylene and glass-filled nylon — are heated in an injection moulding machine and shaped in a mould into pieces of about 30 grams each, then cooled and packed. The report is titled for mosquito-repellent moulds but its text also describes chemical repellents, so fix the exact product and buyer (for example vaporiser bodies for a repellent brand) before you invest.
Capacity: 200 pieces an hour, 1,600 a day, 3,84,000 a year; year 1 at 50% = 1,92,000 pieces sold at ₹25 each.
§2Is it right for you?
Who it is for
A plastic moulder who already has a repellent brand or device maker ready to buy the parts.
Who it is not for
Anyone without a confirmed buyer and drawing for the part.
Advantages
- One main machine does the work
- Small team
- Plastic moulding skills can serve other products too
- Raw material easy to buy (₹93–100 a kg)
Drawbacks
- The report is unclear on the exact product
- Depends on a few brand buyers
- Mould design changes cost money
- Two different project totals in the report
