I would like to thank all the people who got involved in my project work. Special thanks to
PROF. ANIKET AKHADE who supported our ideas and gave us helpful feedback and inputs
throughout the process.
During the Bottle Blowers building and manufacturing MR. ANKIT DWIVEDI and MR.
RANJEET PATEL did an amazing job producing all the parts needed to actually visualize my project.
Their effort and knowledge helped me greatly when assembling and putting together all the parts. The
time spent in the workshop has always been really enjoyable and friendly due to the welcoming
atmosphere.
I would like to thank Mr. SANJAY KOTHARI, PROPRIETOR M/S SUN DIAPET, VASAI for
his kind and timely help when I was confronted with problems concerning plastics and preforms. His
supply of PET preforms was greatly appreciated.

ABSTRACT
This project presents the research of packaging juices into plastic bottle and the design and
manufacturing of Prototype PET Blowing Machine for Production of Plastic Bottles. The machine will
be used for the production of plastic bottles suitable for bottling juices. Premanufactured PET preforms
have proven to be the most convenient and promising choice for the fabrication of blown bottles. Basic
tests to understand the behaviour of the preforms and the challenges of the blowing process have been
carried out.
A special focus has been placed on the different circumstances in contrast to industrial bottle
production, in particular the needed air pressure to form the bottles. The following step was to find the
ideal method and principle to handle the preforms and to transform them in the desired shape. Finally
the design, drawing of the parts and assemblies were carried out with the 3-D CAD software Solid
works. The designed parts for the bottle blower have been manufactured at the mechanical
Workshop.The final assembly and testing of the blower then concluded the practical work for this
project. A suitable design for the bottle production was found and the assembled Bottle Blower can
now be used for the production of PET bottles.
