an opening at the top. The mouth of the bottle is normally sealed with a plastic bottle cap. Plastic bottles are typically used to store liquids such as water, soft drinks, cooking oil, medicine, shampoo, milk, and ink.
RAWMATERIALS USED 1) High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) 2) Poly Propylene (PP) 1) High Density Poly Ethylene (HDPE) Plastic bottles manufactured from HDPE will be: Less durable More opaque Best used for (packing of): Food products Tablets Colours are added to HDPE to increase non-transparency and strength of the plastic products. 2) Poly Propylene (PP) Plastic bottles manufactured from PP will be: Transparent Clear Durable Flexible Best for carrying liquid products
Polymerization
The machine also blows air into the plastic material so as to expand the interior of the bottle or in other words to obtain interior space.
The opening where the raw materials are introduced is called the Hopper. From there the materials pass through a barrel called the Heater. As the name itself suggests, here the raw materials are heated, but at different stages and at different temperatures, gradually from lower temperatures to higher temperatures. The screws are contained in the heater. They help in the easy movement of the raw materials. Then the liquid (or the semi liquid) flows into the mould, where the plastic is moulded to the desired shape . After it is moulded, air is blown into the plastic. Now the plastic bottle is ready. In this way the base of the bottle is ready.
Then a blow-pin is inserted into the neck end of the hot tube to form the threaded opening and inflate the tube inside the mold cavity.
When the mould is completely cooled it is opened to eject the bottle and the excess plastic is trimmed from the neck and bottom areas.
The preform is then heated above its glass transition temperature and blown, using high pressure air, into bottles using metal blow molds. At the same time the preform is stretched with a core rod to fill inside of the mould.

2) INJECTION MACHINE :
Injection molding is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication of plastic parts. A wide variety of products are manufactured using injection molding, which vary greatly in their size, complexity, and application. The injection molding process requires the use of an injection molding machine, raw plastic material, and a mold.
The plastic is melted in the injection molding machine and then injected into the mold, where it cools and solidifies into the final part.
The Injection machine works some what similar to the blow mould machine. Two main differences to be noted among the two are: Air is not blown to expand the plastic. Instead of the movement of the screws in the heater, there is a horizontal push of the plastic in it. Usually the bottle caps are manufactured in this process (machine).
PROGRAMMING LOGIC CONTROL (PLC) A plastic industry or any industry for that matter can not run with a single machine.
Even a small scale concern with a single manufacturing outlet will have at least 2 to 5 machines for manufacturing its products.
Hence, it is necessary to co-ordinate the functioning of the machines and to program them for the process of manufacturing or production. This is bought about by the PROGRAM LOGIC CONTROL (or PLC).
