 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ;
Firstly , we had a visit to Magnum Beverages Foods PVT LTD
located near Bokul , Dibrugarh on dated – 8 november, 2019 at 11
a.m. by our Dibrugarh Polytechnical Faculty. I had a view how
drinking water bottles are manufactured and packed.

Various kinds of machines were used such as –

 Auto Stretch Blow Forming Machine.
 Rinser Filler Capper Machine.
 Others

Raw material used there was named as Preform.

Firstly , I saw there an Auto Stretch Blow Forming Machine.The
Preform which is typically pre-heated gets installed on the Auto
Stretch Blow Forming Machine by workers which is then transferred
within the machine to the station where it gets stretched in the axial
direction and blown into bottle shape which then gets ejected from the
machine.Then I saw workers installing those bottles on a machine
named as Rinser Filler Capper(RFC) machine which runs at 60-90
B.P.M.(Beats Per Minute).Rinsing empty bottles before moving onto
the filling station is an incredibly important step because it helps
prevent contaminated product from being distributed. From there, the
Filling of product is put into each bottle to maintain brand
consistency. And the last step, the Capper, needs to create a reliable
seal on the bottle to make sure that liquids do not leak and a high
quality end product is delivered to each consumer. Failure to clean,
fill, or seal bottles properly could lead to potential recall and wasted
product, which can cost the company a great deal.When I asked one
of the staff member of the company that how much water bottle they
produces per day , they answered that they produces approx. 15000
bottle per day.

 ION EXCHANGE PROCESS FOR WATER TREATMENT -

Ion exchange is a water treatment process commonly used for water

softening or demineralization. Ion exchange describes a specific
chemical process in which unwanted dissolved ions are exchanged for
other ions with a similar charge. Ions are atoms or molecules
containing a total number of electrons that are not equal to the total
number of protons.

The exchange process occurs between a solid (resin or a zeolite) and a

liquid (water). In the process, the less desired compounds are
swapped for those that are considered more desirable. These desirable
ions are loaded onto the resin material.

In the exchange of cations during water treatment, positively charged

ions that come into contact with the ion exchange resin are exchanged
with positively charged ions available on the resin surface, usually
sodium. In the anion exchange process, negatively charged ions are
exchanged with negatively charged ions on the resin surface, usually
chloride.

Recently ion exchange resins have been increasingly used to create

drinking water.

Secondly , I visited roof making industry where I had a view of
various types of machines such as-

 Hydraulic press brake.

 Roof sheet rolling machine.
 Others.
All the machines worked on hydraulics on the roof sheet making
industry.The Hydraulic press brake are fabrication machines used
for bending sheet metal.
Hydraulic press brake machine specification -

 Motor = 1440 R.P.M

 Cylinders = 2 nos
 Stroke = 125mm
 Material used = Bhushan i.e. Aluminium 55% , Silicon 1.5% ,
Zinc 43.5%
Then , I had a view of Drive machine which was used for rolling the
sheets.
Drive machine specification –

 R.P.M = 7.5 HP
 Power factor = 0.78
 Efficiency = 88.3
The last machine that was introduced to me by one of the member of
that industry was a huge machine that was 11.5m long of length ,
named as Roofing Sheet Rolling machine having motor of 25 H.P.
on which sheet was rolled on and got finishing touch.

 FIG: SINGLE GIRDER CRANE

On top of the roof I saw a Single girder Cranes that are used in
work units where heavy materials required either shifting or
lifting. These Cranes are solely used for maintenance and
manufacturing purposes. The primary purpose of these cranes is
to move heavy materials quickly and conveniently.
The cranes consist of a single bridge girder supported on two end
trucks. It has a trolley hoist mechanism that runs on the bottom
flange of the bridge girder.The single girder cranes are lighter
when compared to the double girder ones and they have only one
main bridge. They are mostly used for short period work and
they help in lifting light duty loads to be precise one can lift 1 to
20 ton load with the help of single girder cranes. They are
manufactured in both top running and bottom running models.
In the company it can lift upto 7.5 ton of load.

CONCLUSION

I am thankful to my teacher’s for giving me such an opportunity to

not only see but understand how the water bottle which we use for
drinking are manufactured . Now I know how things are being done.

Also I had a priviledged to know how the sheet we use as a roof to

our house is manufactured . Till date we were only utilizing the
products without knowing how it was made . But now , I know
everything about them.
