Added twist to the project

Assuming the project is done tomorrow, the biggest challenge after that would be selling the product. Even though that should be always separate from the production side of things, but since "I" have to worry about everything, that quickly became my territory as well. For the past month, I have been drawing up a plan to make a product that has a market and is in demand.

Since the main purpose of the plant is producing Chlorine gas (Cl2)and Caustic Soda (NaOH), whatever the final product is should be made from these two chemicals.

As any household wife would know, bleach is that chlorine smelling thing that everyone uses as a whitener for clothes or disinfecting solution for cleaning purposes around the house. That is made from, you guessed it, chlorine and caustic soda. So the plan is to market that to consumers. In order to do so, we almost need a whole plant, packaging it, suitable to be sold at stores.

I started researching the industry for machinery required to complete that task. The packaging line consists of the following overall equipments:

1. A machine that makes bottles

2. A machine that fills bottles

3. A machine that caps bottles

4. A machine that labels bottles

5. A machine that puts the bottles in the cartons

6. A machine that tapes off the cartons

There is an expo in China that is specific for this industry, called ProPak China.

It is held in Shanghai, China July 14-16 2010.

I am planing on attending this expo to pick a supplier that meets our needs.
