Kudos to the millwrights who made these machines !!!!🙂
The engineering behind all this is mind boggling. Although the machines are impressive, the minds behind this dance are nothing short than brilliant.
Yeah it’s old tech but it’s so well engineered that nothing really needs to change
Thank You Mike Owens
I spent the last 8 years of my working career as an electrical designer at a company that designed and manufactured the electrical controls for bottle plants like the one shown here. The people I worked with there were some of the most talented people I ever worked with in 60 years of being involved in electrical controls.
That’s really fascinating insights. 60 years is an incredible time, well done. I bet you have so some amazing stories over that time. Thanks for comment and thanks for watching.
How refreshing, a molten bottle of Coca-Cola
These are the ultimate green products. Anyone remember doing returns??
Bubble gum was 1/2 a cent each and I used to pick these bottles up from the side of the road as I walked to the store about 2 miles from my house. I usually made enough money for a paper bag filled with candy. I remember young adults would just toss them out of their cars knowing the kids in the neighborhood would have extra money by picking them up. A crude recycling process but it seemed to work.
@@randygreen007 Where im from there was a discount system instead of straight up payment, so you were incentivized to bring your bottles with you and keep them clean and undamaged for a discount. i think it was 20%
I work in glass, I'm laughing at the use of Automated. People who don't work in glass don't realize just how much of this is not automated. There's hundreds of employee's tending everything constantly adjusting to the moving variables.
Thanks for your feedback. Like a lot of automated processes, there are definitely still humans involved to keep it working smoothly and adjusting it. The automated aspects are the parts humans aren’t directly involved in, like moulding the glass by hand or moving the products down conveyers etc. We will try to be more clear about this in the future. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
It is a good video, only wanted to point out how much there is to due in the human aspect as well! @@HowItsManufactured
A lot depends on your plant and your management. The company I worked for took more than one marginal glass plant and turned it into a money maker. I felt privileged to work with the people there. They were some of the sharpest people I ever met.
Big facts 🩷🩷🩷
Different glass plants would have different ways of manufacturing glass for windows, tables, bottles, drinkware etc. This particular video only showed the automation part of it. I’m sure there are people at the ends of the line filling and receiving.
Kudos to the maintenance workers that need to work on that machinery when it breaks.
Yeah it’s a very hard job. Thanks for watching
Coke in a glass bottle 👍🏻 also brings back childhood memories when all sodas were in glass bottles. They tasted a whole lot better
The manufacturing process is amazing
It truly is. Very hot also :)
Thanks for watching
I used to work in bear bottle factory,highly technology,wonderful work process
That's great to hear. What did you like about the job?
You worked with bears??
5:15 *No, it’s a way to prevent lawsuits when people are injured by exploding bottles.*
Facinating process. 👍
Yeah it really is. Thanks for watching
technology at it's best
Totally is! Thanks for watching
❤Super I Am work at a glass factory ,in sri lanka ,this video helps grow my knowledge
A MUST WATCH!!!!
Thank you for the support.
Amazing equiment to make bottles!!!
It really is! Thanks for watching commenting.
This is really interesting. well done. Thank you.
That’s great to hear. Thanks for watching and commenting
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You're welcome!
Bravo......when I was a kid we had glass bottles......they recycle for 10 cents.......cheers
Yeah they are great for recycling. Far, far better than plastic
how about a video on how the machines that make the bottle are designed and made
Great suggestion. Thanks for watching
Used to clean Embark Glass off Day Hill Rd. years ago. They made machines that make glass bottles and stuff.
Well done, you got everything right. So often, people get it wrong at some point. Joe, Ceramic Engineer
That’s great to hear. Thanks for the feedback
Amazing.
Thanks for watching!
The presentation was ok, but during the process of molten glass being shaped into bottles, there wasn't enough clarity of exactly each step of the molding process. It would have been better to have a illustration, a drawing, of each step of the molding process.
Thanks for the feedback. We will try to have more illustrations etc in the future.
Interesting 🤔
Yeah it really is
Im old enough to remember the milk man dropping off glass bottles of milk to your door along with your bill 😊😊😊 dang im old
Move over on that bench, pal.
Yup I’m in tooo😂😂😂😂🙏🙏🪬🪬🇬🇧🇬🇧
I JUST LOVE ICE COLD COKE IN A GLASS BOTTLE. MADE WITH REAL SUGAR!!!!
Yeah its the best!
I used to work in a beer bottle factory and just like this video it is interesting. It is a very hot and noisy place to work. Things move real fast.
Oh that's really interesting, what sort of heat levels was it getting up to when you worked there? Do you get to take a lot of breaks to deal with the heat and noise?
Thanks again for watching and commenting, we really appreciate it.
This was in 1980. It was like a hot summer day every day. I did work on the hot end one day where the glass is formed and the heat there was real bad and the noise was real bad. It was located in south east Wisconsin and we made beer bottles for Miller in Milwaukee. I did not like that job at all. @@HowItsManufactured
@@HowItsManufactured At our plant where I work temperature infront of the IS-machine will reach about 60 °C during summer.
And while that surely is uncomfortable, the real pain is the radiation heat coming from the freshly shaped bottles.
Depending on bottle size it can make working right on the machine an almost impossible task.
@@Bigcubefan That sounds rough. Do you have protective clothing that makes it more bearable, or do you have to just deal with it?
@@HowItsManufactured I mean, we wear thicker coats over our T-shirts, gloves and we have access to special gauntlets that protect the forearm additionally.
Apart from that, deal with it. :D
I worked many years in a glass factory. I was a mold maker. The entire process of making those bottles is a lot more complex than shown here. Oh well, it's only a 16-minute video.
Work fascinates me ! i can (sit) and watch it all day long 😂
I drink coke i have all my life. I remember when coke bottles were made of glass.
They still are made of glass in some countries/regions. But plastic sadly does dominate most of the world for Coca Cola these days
I miss Royal Crown Cola in 16oz glass bottles.
My very first employment - at a glass container manufacturing facility in Ohio. Worked in both the forming and packing departments for 18 years.
Wow 18 years is a good stint there! Thanks for watching and commenting
Yes
Yes indeed
@@HowItsManufactured Yes indeed I have stopped and thought about how glass bottles are made
I watched a video earlier where in the Mekong Delta, people do all of this without any real technology. They were making perfume bottles.
It seems the quality control stage creates quite a bottleneck in the process.
Our school was taken on a tour of Coke bottle manufacturing…over 75 years ago…yesteryear 😢
Wow that’s a long time ago! This technology has been around quite a while :). Thanks for commenting and watching
I made those at Jeannette Glass
Hey when did you work at Jeannette glass? I worked there in mid 60ies. I worked in the factory then shipping.
@@cooldog60 yes. I worked for frankie laich, I ran 42 doubled headder
I was hoping to see actual Coca-Cola bottles made. I am curious how they get their shape. I guess when they blow it in the mold...that was not explained very well. Other that that a very interesting piece.
Sorry we didn’t explain it better. The first part of the moulding process forms the bottom of the bottle, it’s then moved to the next mould that makes the shape. It’s in this shaping mound that air is introduced to blow the bottle into its shape.
@@HowItsManufacturedHow do the bottle manufacturers add the colored Coca Cola lettering?
good luck finding a soda bottle to take a last sip out of.
A brown bottle sounds pretty good 😂😂😂
Show who designed the machines. 😊
Isn't plastic more affordable 😮😮😮
What is company name and where it located
Emhart glassa machine?? Use to repair that kind of machinery. Huge dirty and hot work bro, but someone have to do it!!
Oh wow you used to work on these machines. How long ago were you doing that?
@@HowItsManufactured I was a Mechanic in Ergonmeccanica from Savona (North Italy) ther's a district of glass producers and we use to repair and reshape the Emhart Glass machinery of various client. I did there the last 10 years of my job before retirement and I can tell that there is no work dirty and hard as this one, it's impossible to stand heat and fatigue for long time, but incoming money are slightly more than others blue collars work!
.. Bottero?
@@jebbamin4109 No, Ergonmeccanica work with Blucher and Emhart...Bottero isn't very popular among us!
My uncle way back in the 60's/70's worked at a bottling plant in Henderson, NC. I miss my uncle. He was a very good man. Shalom
Thank you for sharing the story about your Uncle. I’m sure he was a great man!
Well, i have visited this kind of glass factory... noisy experience😅
Still did not how the bottle got the COKE shape.
You show a lot of movement, but none of the actual shaping, which is the interesting part.
The shaping happened in moulds, not visible to cameras. You see the moulds openings d closing, but sadly we can’t capture the actual moulding process.
The bottle costs more than what's in it.
Always COCA -COLA😂
The best right?
@@HowItsManufactured Best drink of world.
@@HowItsManufactured Best drink of world.
@@NDREW2024yeah by far
HAMBURGER, FRIES, AND A COKE. (IN A COLD GLAS BOTTLE).
Love it!
But who figured this all out??!
Genius engineers :)
Michael J. Owens invented the automatic glass blowing machine over 100 years ago.
Interesting I worked is a Glass bottle house in in the 1960s the one thing is the HEAT and the NOISE not a place to work in the Summer
and this is real old tech. the problem is no one wants to do the work making the labor cost high and those machines have to go nonstop leading to high Employee turn over
Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I had wondered about employee turnover as it seems quite a tough job.
By the time you get to the forming department, your making pretty good money!
They're glass in some other countries, but not here in the US, where they're plastic.
Do you get imported coke like from Mexico in glass bottles still? The coke made with sugar instead of corn syrup?
I was speaking of supermarkets. No one wants to carry 8 or 10 2-liter bottles in glass. Glass can be impractical, as the bottling companies have to pay more to ship them.
@@HowItsManufactured I don't drink soda. The only bottled thing I drink, in 2-liter bottles, is seltzer. And, no, bottling them in glass would be very impractical.
Although the manufacturing process looks impressive. Those are Coca Cola bottles being manufactured.
Coke taste so much better in a glass bottle. And I would rather have real sugar!
Yeah it really does.
No coke in glass bottles here in Australia. Such a shame, we lost the nice taste and replaced it with plastic! Shame on Coca Cola!
These "iconic" bottles look pretty generic to me.
Not all of the bottles in this video look like Coca-Cola bottles. What gives?
This factory does a mixture of different brands and their various shapes. The process is the same it’s just that the mould is different when making the distinctive Coca Cola bottle.
🗨️🕺
Wow, the music made this video tolerable...
the voice over is way too enthusiastic and fascinated by glass bottles manufactured en masse, and the music wasn't the right choice (something more robotic/industrial would do), and maybe talk about more technical details than ogle at the impressive "advanced manufacturing technology"?
Thanks for the feedback. Thanks for watching
Theyre made with rage and alcohlism.
A beverage that is complete garbage.
That irritating, annoying, and distracting crappy-ass background "music" totally ruined the video making it unwatchable and earning this poster a big "thumbs down"!
