Injection Moulding Machine for RO Membrane Housings
Domestic RO membrane housings and their end caps are made on horizontal injection moulding machines from PP, glass-filled PP or glass-filled nylon. Machine size follows housing length, which sets mould height and opening stroke, and the shot weight of the long body. Thread and O-ring groove dimensions need the tightest control, since they decide burst test results.
Machine selection for RO housings centres on shot capacity for the long body, enough opening stroke to clear the core and steady packing at the thread. Pratishna Engineers supplies horizontal injection moulding machines for RO housing production and can recommend a configuration for your housing and end cap moulds.

Machine Requirements for RO Housing Moulding
An RO housing holds line pressure for years, so the machine has to mould thick, low-stress walls and accurate seal features. Points to check:
- Shot capacity for a long, thick-walled housing body
- Opening stroke and mould height to clear a long core
- Steady holding pressure to control sink at the thread
- Repeatable O-ring groove dimensions for a pressure-tight seal
- Wear-resistant screw and barrel for glass-filled PP or nylon
- Hopper dryer when moulding glass-filled nylon
Recommended Machine for RO Housings
End caps, brackets and port fittings are small parts that often run in multi-cavity moulds on the E Series (75-180 T). Housing bodies need a deep mould with a long core and a bigger shot, which moves them to the C Series (140-320 T) or H Series (120-350 T), depending on housing length and cavities.

FAQs / Buyer Questions
Questions buyers of RO housing moulding machines raise most often.
Which Injection Moulding Machine Is Used to Make RO Housings?
A horizontal machine. End caps and fittings fit the E Series, while full housing bodies with long cores usually need the C or H Series because of mould depth and shot size.Are Industrial RO Pressure Vessels Injection Moulded?
No. Industrial and commercial RO pressure vessels are filament-wound FRP, PVC or stainless steel. Injection moulding covers domestic membrane housings, end caps, port fittings, brackets and retaining hardware.What Decides Whether an RO Housing Passes Burst Testing?
Burst and pressure-cycle tests mostly fail at the thread and O-ring groove. Uneven packing, sink, voids in thick sections and weld lines near ports weaken these zones, so gate position and holding pressure matter as much as wall thickness.
Do RO Housing Materials Need Potable-Water Approval?
Yes. Every wetted part, including the housing, end cap and port fittings, needs a material approved for drinking water contact in the target market. Check that the colour masterbatch is covered by that approval too.Can Pratishna Recommend a Machine for My RO Housing?
Yes. Share the housing and end cap drawings, material, part weights, mould dimensions, number of cavities and monthly volume, and Pratishna Engineers will recommend a suitable machine.Does the Machine Suit Other Water Treatment Parts Too?
Yes. Similar machines can mould filter housings, cartridge end caps, pressure vessel end caps and storage tank fittings, subject to the mould size and shot weight of each part.
