CHAPTER-I 1.

1 ABOUT THE INDUSTRY

A plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic or semisynthetic organic solids used in the manufacture of industrial products. Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular mass, and may contain other substances to improve performance and/or reduce production costs. Monomers of plastic are either natural or synthetic organic compounds. The common word plastic should not be confused with the technical adjective plastic, which is applied to any material which undergoes a permanent change of shape (plastic deformation) when strained beyond a certain point. Aluminum which is stamped or forged, for instance, exhibits plasticity in this sense, but is not plastic in the common sense; in contrast, in their finished forms, some plastics will break before deforming and therefore are not plastic in the technical sense. There are two types of plastics: thermoplastics and thermosetting polymers. Thermoplastics are the plastics that do not undergo chemical change in their composition when heated and can be molded again and again ;examples are polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl

chloride and polytetra fluoroethylene. Thermo sets can melt and take shape once; after they have solidified, they stay solid. The raw materials needed to make most plastics come from petroleum and natural gas. Plastics can be classified by chemical structure, namely the molecular units that make up the polymer's backbone and side chains. Some important groups in these classifications are the acrylics, polyesters, silicones, polyurethanes, and halogenated plastics. Plastics can also be classified by the chemical process used in their synthesis, such as condensation, polyaddition, and cross-linking.

Other classifications are based on qualities that are relevant for manufacturing or product design. Examples of such classes are the thermoplastic and thermo set, elastomeric, structural, biodegradable, and electrically. Plastics can also be classified by various physical properties, such as density, tensile strength, glass transition temperature, and resistance to various chemical products. About the Indian Plastic Industry The Plastics Industry in India has made significant achievements ever since it made a modest but promising beginning by commencing production of Polystyrene in 1957. The chronology of manufacture of polymers in India is summarized as under:-1957-Polystyrene -1959-LDPE -1961-PVC -1968-HDPE -1978-Polypropylene

The potential Indian market has motivated Indian entrepreneurs to acquire technical expertise, achieve high quality standards and build capacities in various facets of the booming plastic industry. Phenomenal developments in the plastic machinery sector coupled with matching developments in the petrochemical sector, both of which support the plastic processing sector, have facilitated the plastic processors to build capacities to service both the domestic market and the markets in the overseas.

The plastic processing sector comprises of over 30,000 units involved in producing a variety of items through injection molding, blow molding, extrusion and calendaring. The capacities built in most segments of this industry coupled with inherent capabilities have made us capable of servicing the overseas markets.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Production process is one of the most important functions of every organization. Every organization frame some of the technical procedures for it. Likewise, this concern follows some of the conversion process. They are as clearly described below.

Products Produced Plastic Utility Items Plastic Mugs Plastic Buckets Plastic Tray Plastic Drums Plastic Containers

PRODUCTION PROCESS In production process there are two sections 1. 2. Manual section Machinery section

1. Manual Section In this section all the process is carried out by the mens itself. There is no usage of machinery in this section. The various process of manual section is:

Compounding: In this process the powdered raw materials like Rexin, Dop, color etc. are mixed together. The mixture is differ according to the hardness and shape of the product. The mixing is made on to a proportion or ratio of various raw materials. Loading: In this process the compounded mixture are loaded to the machinery for further process. Loading is done without using any machine.

15

2. Machine Section In this section all production process is carried out in the machinery. They are:

Advanced Infrastructure Our company has a well oiled infrastructure equipped with advanced machines that are specially bused for molding plastics. Our efficiency in churning out flawless

products has enabled us to design and develop new products that are of export quality and are user and environment friendly.

The variety of machines that are installed at our production unit are: Injection Molding Machines Automatic Injection Molding Machines Windsor (85 tons to 350 tons) Center Lathe Machines Radial Drill Machine CNC Vertical Milling Machine Cylindrical Grinding Machine Surface Grinding Machine

16

MELTING The compound mixture is heating and melting inside the machine. The mixture is heated about 260 to melt the mixture. This process is mainly done to convert the powdered mixture into liquid form.

There is a special kind of plastic that requires the mixing of two ingredients (usually liquid or putty-like) that chemically react to make a hard plastic. These include epoxy adhesives and epoxy putties. These can both be found at the local hardware store.

INJECTION The next process after melting the resin is to inject the liquid into the molder. For that the perfect molders is loaded to the machine. Molders are loaded before melting the raw material. Different types of molders are used for production of different types of items. COOLING

After the completion of injection process the mould is cold by the coolant used in the machine. Water is the only coolant used in the machine. Water is poured continuously on the hotly molder until the molders get cooled. The Resin inside the molders are also cooled along with the molder.

Chemical reactions are usually affected by temperature. In general, the colder the Environment for the reaction, the slower it goes. That means that your epoxy adhesive is going to harden slower in colder conditions.

17

OUTPUT When the mold get cooled the pipe is pushed out from the mold and takes finished products. It is the final process in the production. The company is producing several models of pipes and fitting of wide size. The company officially produces from 20 to 200 mm sizes.
