INTRODUCTION
The demand for mineral water is increasing at a rapid rate, as people become
more health conscious and take precautions against water borne diseases.
Bottled mineral water provides easy transportability and assured water
quality.
THE PROJECT
INVOLVES MACHINERY FOR
- PURIFYING WATER
- BOTTLE MANUFACTURING.
- BOTTLING PURIFIED WATER.
- LABELLING
CAPACITY
The plant is being
designed for minimum economically viable capacity, such that the capital
outlay is optimized.
The capacity of the various units are as under:
-
|
Purification:
1000 litrers / hour i.e. 8000 litres / 8 hour shift
|
-
|
Bottle
Manufacturing: 550 Bottles per hour per machine. 2 nos. machines will give
1100 bottles per hour i.e. 8800 bottles per 8 hour shift.
|
-
|
Bottling
: 24 Bottles per minute of 1000 ml. i.e. 1440 Bottles / hour i.e. 11520
Bottles per 8 hour shift.
|
-
|
Labelling
: Heat Shrink Tunnel would handle 1000 Bottles per hour.
|
All the 4 capacities have
been nearly matched - for any adjustments some of the machines can be run for
longer duration.
