The various steps involved in glass bottle manufacturing are – Raw material preparation, batching process, melting at 1450 degrees and refining, cooling and conditioning of the glass, forming of the glass bottles in moulds/dies, hot end coating to seal micro checks and improving strength, annealing or removing the thermal stress, cold end coating to prevent rubbing and scratch marks, inspection and SQC, packing and then warehousing/ dispatch.
