All glass bottles are made of the same materials, but when it comes to the process, it is chosen based on the type of glass which is to be made. Glass is considered the most important material in the beverage industry, and also each process in the glass bottle manufacturing process is important. The process of making the glass may look simple, but it includes a lot of technologies to provide defect-free glass. Even though the glass bottle manufacturing process comes in multiple forms, here we will show you the glass bottle manufacturing process Glass Bottle Manufacturing
Process: Choosing the raw material The glass bottles are generally made of 7 to 12 different kinds of materials, and the primary materials used in the glass bottle manufacturing process are silica sand, sodium carbonate, limestone, dolomite, feldspar, borax, barium, and so on. The most important raw material is silica as it determines the strength of the glass. The amount of silica can be chosen based on the type of glass to be made. The silica content is important as the melting point of the glass is inversely proportional to it. Batch house The manufacturing of the glass is a continuous process, so the batching processes will also occur continuously. Here the raw materials will be weighed and mixed, and then transferred into the hopper which is at the melting furnace. Initially, the raw materials are feed to the hopers where it will get mixed and then transferred it into the furnace. Sometimes the conveyor belt consists of a magnet that will remove the magnetic materials. Once the raw material is mixed well, then it is feed into the furnace continuously using the batch process so that the composition of the material will
