Patent Grant and Technology Overview
On May 22 2026, the Patent Office of the Government of India granted Patent No. 590105 to OM Galaxy Limited for its innovative Split‑Type Hot Runner Manifold for Plastic Injection Molds. The invention, developed through OM Galaxy’s specialised subsidiary Infuse HRS Pvt Ltd., introduces a split‑type design that simplifies cleaning and venting in hot‑runner systems used for polymers such as PVC and CPVC.
The patented manifold incorporates an EZ‑CLEAN system, allowing operators to remove solidified resin by simple extraction rather than drilling or extensive disassembly. This design reduces the cleaning time of PVC/CPVC manifolds by 90 % and includes a venting capability that expels gases formed during molding, thereby enhancing process reliability and productivity.
Strategic and Policy Context
The approval of this patent is presented as a validation of domestic engineering capabilities under India’s “Make in India” initiative, signalling the company’s contribution to indigenous technology development in the plastics sector.
