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. PROCESS FLOW

The plant has 6 components :
1] Purification: Water received from the external source is passed through the purification plant and stored in a stainless steel tank. Thereafter it is fed to the bottling section - and continuos operation achieved.
2] Bottle Manufacturing: Pet preforms are blown into bottles and a sufficient number of bottles, say 1000 nos., kept ready while the machine continues to produce more during the shift , when the bottling has been started.
3] Rinsing - Filling - Capping: The bottles are fed into the machine which automatically rinses, fills and screws the cap on it. Caps are stamped with the date of manufacture and expiry before being put into the hopper for screwing on to the bottle.
4] Labeling: We are proposing use of heat shrink labels and tamper evident heat shrink sleeve on the neck of each bottle.

    The current processes of cleaning the bottles have been done fairly well. The Creemore Spring drivers have to pick the bottles, drop them off and re-pick them up again. Creemore Spring had been forced to recheck the bottles due to the fact that some were not up to their high quality standard. Other bottles would come back chipped or even broken, which would cost the company an extra $1000 a year for replacement bottles. However it have been an inefficient one where the drivers had to make some trips to drop the current empty bottles off since they had reached their maximum level of empty bottles and pick up the previous ones. Sometimes there would be no cleaned bottles to be picked up where the driver have to go back ones again to pick up the bottles at a later date. Causing a slack of bottles and down on time, and extra shipping cost which the company had estimated a cost of $15,000 a year.…

    The above table showing the total capacity per hour of each machine center was calculated by taking the number of machines and multiplying them by the run time per piece per minute. This enables you to see the amount produced each minute from each machine center. I then multiplied that by the obvious 60 minutes per hour to determine the output from each machine center each hour. We know from the text that Al Beck is running two eight hour shifts so the machines are running for a minimum of 16 hours per day. Knowing this, I then take my output per hour and divide it by 16-hour days to find the actual production rate.…

    The simple distiller is composed of a 100ml round bottom flask that is attached to: a 3-way adapter, thermometer, condenser and vacuum adapter. The apparatus is heated up by placing a powermeter at the bottom of the 100ml round flask. When the temperature becomes high enough to effect the boiling point of one of the compounds in the solution, vapor is created. The gas then travels down the condenser where it condenses back into a liquid. The distilled liquid is then collected by placing a tube on the bottom of the condensing tube. In this cause, the…

    Diverse authors use diverse strategies to catch a reader's attention. Both Kate Chopin and Charlotte Perkins Gilman were women ahead of their time; they wrote stories that were socially unacceptable but are now considered some of the greatest. In Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour," the protagonist, Mrs. Mallard, dies of a heart attack after hearing of her husband's death. Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote "The Yellow Wallpaper" with a blasphemous plot at the time: a woman, Jane, bedridden because of depression, begins to see a woman underneath the wallpaper of her rented mansion. By the end of the story, Jane believes that she is the woman under the wallpaper. In both stories, the diseased and doubted women enclose serious mental and emotional problems.…
