PETBottle Manufacturing Project
PET jar, PET bottles were the products of the firm. Polyethylene terephthalate
(sometimes written poly ethylene terephthalate), commonly abbreviated PET, PETE,
or the obsolete PETP, is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the
polyester family and is used in fibers for clothing, containers for liquids and foods,
thermoforming for manufacturing.
The global PET bottle market reached a volume of more than 19 Million Tons in
2019, registering a CAGR of more than 2.3% during 2011-2019. The market is
further projected to reach a volume of nearly 19 Million Tons by 2024, at a CAGR of
nearly 2.1% during 2019-2024. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) refers to a
thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family which is widely used for
manufacturing plastic bottles. In comparison with PP, HDPE and PVC bottles, PET
bottles are more durable, transparent, lightweight, non-reactive, cost-effective and
thermally stable. Moreover, they are environment-friendly and can be recycled
repeatedly which further reduces their manufacturing cost. Primarily used in the
packaging of drinking water and beverages, PET bottles are also gaining
prominence as a packaging solution for salad dressings, household cleaners,
medicines, dish detergents and mouthwashes. The rising trend of westernization,
inflating disposable incomes and altering food patterns of consumers have
3
increased the demand for bottled beverages, particularly in developing countries like
India and China.
PET bottles are bottles made-up of a plastic resin chemically known as polyethylene
terephthalate and abbreviated as PET. Due to some inherent properties of PET
resin, these bottles are transparent, light-weight, high in strength and impermeable
to carbon dioxide. Their manufacturing is based on a stretch blow-moulding process,
which provides strength and high resistance to bear internal pressure and enables
them to be stacked like glass bottles.
Primarily used in the packaging of water and beverages, PET bottles are also
gaining shares in other industries like- juices, salad dressings, household cleaners,
medicines, dish detergents, mouthwashes, etc. Being light in weight and easy to
handle, they are preferred in the packaging of carbonated soft drinks (CSD's) and
are continuously replacing glass bottles due to their tendency to break and the
inconvenience created while returning them after consumption.

Preparation of The project implementation will take about nine months. The
break-up of activities with relative time for each activity is as follows:
6. TECHNICAL ASPECTS:
Polyethylene Terephthalate is a thermoplastic polymer that can be either opaque or
transparent, depending on the exact material composition. As with most plastics,
PET is produced from petroleum hydrocarbons, through a reaction between
ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. To produce plastic bottles, the PET is first
polymerized to create long molecular chains.
Polymerization itself can be a complicated process and accounts for many of the
inconsistencies between one batch of manufactured PET and another. Typically,
two kinds of impurities are produced during polymerization: diethylene glycol and
acetaldehyde. Although diethylene glycol is generally not produced in high-enough
amounts to affect PET, acetaldehyde can not only be produced during
polymerization but also during the bottle manufacturing process. A large amount of
acetaldehyde in PET used for bottle manufacturing can give the beverage inside an
odd taste.
Once the plastic itself has been manufactured, the bottle manufacturing process can
begin. To ensure that the PET is appropriate for use, numerous tests are done post-
manufacturing to check that the bottles are impermeable by carbon dioxide (which is
5
important for bottles that carry soda). Other factors, such as transparency, gloss,
shatter resistance, thickness, and pressure resistance, are also carefully monitored.
The first stage of a typical 2-step Reheat and Blow Machine (RBM) bottle
manufacturing process is injection moulding. Plastic pellets are plasticized in the
barrel of an injection moulding machine where the plastic is melted by heat and the
shearing action of a feed screw. The plastic is then injected into multiple-cavity
moulds where it assumes the shape of long, thin tubes. These tubes, called
parisons, usually include the formed necks and threads that will be used to cap the
bottles that are yet to come. PET parisons, or pre-forms, are easily shipped to
bottling facilities as they are much more compact than fully formed bottles.
During the re-heat process, the parisons are loaded into a feeder and run through
an unscrambler, which orients the parisons for feeding into the blow moulding
machine. The parisons are heated by passing by quartz heaters and then enter the
mould. Here, a thin steel rod, called a mandrel, slides into the neck of the parison
where it fills the parison with highly pressurized air, and stretch blow
moulding begins: as a result of the pressurized air, heat, and pressure, the parison
is blown and stretched into the mould axially and radially, where it assumes a bottle
shape. This process produces what is called a bi-axially oriented bottle which
provides a CO2 barrier ideal for containing carbonated beverages.
The mould must be cooled relatively quickly, so that that the newly formed
component is set properly. There are several cooling methods, both direct and
indirect, that can effectively cool the mould and the plastic. Water can be coursed
through pipes surrounding the mould, which indirectly cools the mould and plastic.
Direct methods include using pressurized air or carbon dioxide directly on the mould
and plastic.
Once the bottle (or, in continuous manufacturing, bottles) has cooled and set, it is
ready to be removed from the mould. If a continuous moulding process has been
used, the bottles will need to be separated by trimming the plastic in between them.
If a non-continuous process has been used, sometimes excess plastic can seep
through the mould during manufacturing and will require trimming. After removing
the bottle from the mould and removing excess plastic, the plastic bottles are ready
for transportation or filling.
Other bottle manufacturing processes combine the formation of the parisons and the
blow moulding in a single continuous process. One such machine is a continuous
extrusion machine wherein an extruder is continuously producing a parison. In
the extrusion blow moulding process, the parison forms vertically and its wall
thickness is varied by changing the size of the orifice through which the parison
extrudes. Mould halves close over the suspended parison and transfer it to the blow
moulding station where the bottle is formed as in the second step of the RBM
process described above. Varying the wall thickness solves the problem of non-
6
uniformity of the hanging parison as the weight of the formed portion would
otherwise stretch the hot and still-forming section above it. Wall thickness is thus
increased as the parison forms to create a uniform thickness throughout the
formation.
Raw Materials:
PET is a plastic resin derived from petroleum hydrocarbons. The producer creates
long chains of plastic molecules through a process called polymerization, and then
mixes the material with several chemical compounds. They cut the resin into small
pellets and send it on to the bottle manufacturer. The bottle plant mixes PET resin
pellets with "regrind" -- recycled plastic that has been reduced to flakes. Plastic
loses some of its physical properties when repeatedly heated, so manufacturers
must limit the amount of regrind they use, typically capping this ingredient at 10%
of the total mix. Unless producing clear bottles, dyes are introduced to the mix as
well.
Building a Preform:
An extruder melts the PET and regrind mix at temperatures of about 500 degrees
Fahrenheit. A screw inside the extruder compresses the PET mix and injects the
nearly molten material into molds. The mold produces a bottle preform, which is
sometimes called a parison. The preform looks like a thick-walled test tube, often
including the bottle’s characteristic screw top. The preform cools as it travels to a
machine called a blow molder, and may need to be brought back up to the
manufacturer’s specified temperature for that operation. If necessary, the bottle
manufacturer raises the temperature of the preform in a small oven.
The preforms enter a two-part mold that closes around it. The inside of this mold is
shaped exactly like the finished bottle. Inside, a long needle pushes up through the
preform, which is suspended with the screw end facing downward. The needle
stretches the preform upward toward the top of the mold -- which will be the
bottom of the bottle -- and simultaneously blasts enough pressurized air into the
preform to force it against the sides of the mold. This stretch blow molding process
must happen quickly in order to maintain the bottle’s integrity and consistent
shape. Some manufacturers weld a separate bottom piece to the bottle during
blow molding, while others produce a bottom from the preform along with the rest
of the bottle.

The bottle must be cooled almost instantly or it will lose its shape when gravity
causes it to creep downward in its malleable, heated state. Some manufacturers
cool the bottle by circulating cold water or liquid nitrogen through the mold, others
elect to fill it with a shot of air at room temperature. The mold typically yields a
clean bottle, but some flashing may occur at the bottle seams, where the two mold
halves met. If so, operators trim away the excess material and add it to the regrind.
