“Starting a Plastic Manufacturing Plant”

@vijendra singh, There are many plastic materials available as scrap - for ex : HDPE Bottles, PET Bottles, PP Containers , LDPE/HDPE/PP Bags , PP Woven sacks. Once you check the availability of scrap ensure its continuous supply and price. Min output should be 100 kg/hr .So your requirement of scrap of single quality of material is 100 Tons per month. You will need a multistrand extruder with pelletizer , grinder, washing tank,drying area , agglomerator . You will first grind and then wash the plastic .The dry it and extrude into pellets .You will need atleast 10000 sqft of shed so that you have space to hold,scrap,finished goods. I can show you a line and arrange machinery from Hyderabad. Average machinery cost will be around 20 .00 lacs. Average working capital would be around 20.00 lacs per month .Manpower requirement will be 3 skilled and 15 for 3shift operation. Average profit will be 5 lacs per month. You will need to be highly focused to run this operation.

@SANJEEV KUMAR,@mohit v.bhende, Plastics bags unit will be a 100 .00 lacs project .It will incude , bagmaker, printing machinery. Disposable cups unit will around 150 lacs .it will include sheet line , 2 thermoformers , moulds, grinder, compressors and chilling units . manpower required skilled : 5 unskilled : 10 for 2 shift operation.  vijaibhaskar@gmail.com

@sushma mishra, This is not a facebook page .This is for serious discussions on setting up industries . Please refrain from writing such remarks.

@himanshu patel, please start  by trading as Plastic doors are made of PVC or uPVC. Both are different . uPVC products are more costly  and are used by builders today. But you will have to procure profiles and fabricate as per measurement of doors and windows. There are many qualities but as timber market is dominated by patidars even this product has been monapolised by them . But they lack skills to manufacture profiles all by themselves. Profiles are sourced mainly from china and there are  few manufacturers in India. Minimum investment in fabrication of uPVC windows and doors will be around 25 .00 lacs

PVC doors are mostly used as bathroom doors. There are few manufacturers and they can be easily fabricated with little investment. Trading will help you understand the market .Then you can plan for manufacturing later. Indian Industry suffers from nonsensical government laws which do not allow the industry to grow and propser. For the sake of votes they have messed up the economy and ensured you cannot get cost effective manpower and burden with useless tax laws. If you want to earn money you just import and sell . That is what most MNCs and every company is doing. If you are not convinced please go ahead and give it a try.

@santosh kumar You have not mentioned for which application you wish to use. For normal sheet you will need just a block moulding machine and cutting machine with which ancillaries like prefoamer and boiler all put together will cost around 50 lacs. Your investment should be in the range of 20 lacs for term and working capital loan. let me know if you have any queries:

@Rajavenkatesh, @R.Mohan What is your investment level? What is your qualification and experience ? Would you like unique product or already established product? Kindly answer at the earliest.

@avinash.p.nandeshwar, i am writing about Plastics recycling. 
1st step: Locate sources of waste.Preferably segregated waste (  type of plastic ,colour)  even at the cost of Rs10 - 20. 
2nd step : Setup grinder , wash line , dryer , strand extruder , cutter , drier .
3rd step : locate customers who can use the recycled plastic . mostly injection moulded parts, blow moulded parts, extrusion products like pipes, tarpaulin , buckets, pots, etc.
You can sell the plastic at least at 60-100 Rs based on impurity level.The virgin plastics are around   125 Rs. There are machinery suppliers in India. Best of luck

PROCESS :
Recycling is profitable only when done end to end. Getting Plastic waste regularly is the biggest challenge. Once you are able to source that you will need to segregate them into LDPE, HDPE, HMHDPE, PP, PVC etc. Each material needs to be processed separately. They need to be shredded washed and dried. Then they are put in an extruder and strand cut to granules. Based on the impurity level suitable colours can be added.

Once each product is obtained it is to be ensured they dont mix. Then you can make may types of products can be made by putting them in Injection moudling  machines with suitable dies or moulds. Buckets, mugs, soap boxes, combs, fridge stands, chairs, clamps, pots, etc are some of the many products that can be made this way. for approx .100 kg/hr of plastic recycling you need to have an extruder which is 100 mm dia with AC variable drive with 10 strand die and cutter, washing line, grinders, drying trays and colour mixer. Injection moulding 100 -600 Tons machines with multicavity dies suited for the product being manufactured.

@BALASAHEB KHANDEBHARAD, @Meera kumari, What product do you plan to manufacture ? What capacity in tons per month ? What is the market you are targeting?
