Introduction

Hollow Glassware are made from silica sand and soda ash. Hollow Glassware contribute about 80% of total glass production. Major variety of hollow glassware items are given below:-

i. Different size and colours decorative cylindrical glass bottles
ii. Glass Tumblers
iii. Lemon Set
iv. Wine and bear mug and ice cream cup
v. Jar and jugs in different sizes and colour
vi. Lantern glass and chimney

There are about 19000 varieties of glass, which are manufactured in India.

Glassware are very much useful and essential for storage and packing of wine, food and chemicals etc. Demand of glass containers is increasing consistently. Glass containers are widely used in every household.

Basis and Presumptions

i. It has been taken into consideration that the unit will work on three shift basis for 300 days in a year.

ii. Production capacity-1st year 60%, 2nd year 70%, 3rd year onwards 80%.

iii. Labour and wages mentioned as per the prescribed Minimum Wages Act.

iv. Interest rate at 13% per annum

v. Margin money-25%

vi. Operative period of the project is about 10 years.

vii. The cost of land, construction charges, machinery and equipment, raw materials, and consumables, salaries and wages, other expenditure etc. indicated in the profile are based on the prices prevailing at the time of preparation. Therefore, they are subject to necessary changes from time to time based on the local condition.

viii. One time cullet would be used at the start of the furnace for melting. Cullet is produced there after during the regular melting and shaping process in the glass unit.

Technical Aspects
Process of Manufacture

Glass hollow ware are manufactured by mouth blown or semi automatic process as given below:

a) Preparation of Batch

Different raw materials are weighed in proportion and mixed in mixer. Cullet glass are mixed in the above mixer and fed into the glass furnace.

b) Melting of Batch

The batch is fed in the furnace and melted at temp. 1400-1500ºC.

c) Shaping with Molten Glass

Molten glass is shaped by Mouth Blown Process. Molten glass (Gob) is taken out from furnace with the help of cast iron rods and blown, more glass is gathered and blown/pressed in the desired mould made of wood or metal.

These glassware are sent for annealing in the annealing chamber or leher to remove strains. Annealing is a process of slow cooling of glassware. The glassware are sorted and sent for packing.
