15 Questions You Should Know Before Starting Glass Bottle Business

Glass is made from a combination of sand, soda ash, limestone, and traces of other natural ingredients like iron and carbon. Recovered glass, otherwise known as cullet, is used too. These raw materials are stored in large silos, from where they are measured and delivered to batch mixers, and then to the furnace which is heated to approximately 1,500°C.It takes around 24 hours for the mix to be converted into molten glass before it is sent to the refiner area to be cooled. After that, it is sent to the bottle-making machines, where different processes and moulds are used to produce different glass products.

Glass packaging is tempered at the hot end with a coating of zinc oxide. At the cold end, it is normally given a coating of polyethylene. The two coatings together act as a kind of protective film.
