How To Start Nylon Production Business

Interested in small nylon production business planning tips? If YES, here is a practical guide on the nylon production business.

HOW TO START NYLON PRODUCTION AND CUTTING BUSINESS

Starting a polythene nylon bag manufacturing business is one of the most viable businesses and entrepreneurs can engage in.

It is very much easy to start up and highly lucrative just for the fact that the demand for nylon and nylon materials is ever increasing with the increase in population and hence the need for packaging of more items.

And not only that, more industries are spanning up every day and with the new strategy of standard packaging of items to make them stand out among competitors, there has been a very sharp increase in the making of nylon 66 and demand for nylon materials such as whip, bracelet, and flowers.

Nylons are utilized all over the country for different purposes. They are needed both domestically in the home as well as industrially.

TYPES OF NYLON PRODUCTS

1. Low-Density Nylon
2. High-Density Nylon

These two different types of nylon vary depending on their utilization and applications.

The low-density nylon is utilized in small-scale packagings such as food and car wrapping adverts, clothing packaging, and water sealing.

The high-density nylons are the ones utilized industrially and commercially, they are stronger and more durable than the low-density nylons.

SUCCESS POTENTIAL OF NYLON PRODUCTION AND SELLING BUSINESS

A lot of small business people are involved in the manual cutting and sealing of nylons. Therefore the vast potential in the major production of the item as demands seem to be springing up daily.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENT OF NYLON PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY

The capital requirement for the nylon production business varies depending on the financial capability of the investor. An investor could either decide to go on a big scale or a medium scale. The nylon cutting and sealing machines required for the production are also of different sizes and with different production capacities, so the availability of funds at the disposal of the investor will determine the scale of the business.

Locally fabricated nylon-making machines could as well be used for the production process. This definitely will cut the process and cost of natural nylon 6 production; though will have a smaller production capacity as compared to a fully automated nylon producing machine, which will set the investor back a huge amount of money.

MACHINES REQUIRED FOR NYLON PRODUCTION PROCESS

1. EXTRUDER BLOWING MACHINE: This is the nylon making machine that converts the raw materials that are needed for the production of nylon into a liquid state and then to polyethylene sheets, which can be molded into any desired color or thickness.

2. NYLON CUTTING MACHINE: This machine is utilized in cutting the polyethylene into different required sizes

3. PUNCHING MACHINE: This is the machine that is used to create holes, handles, and other shapes as determined by the design of the manufacturer.

PROCESS OF NYLON PRODUCTION

The major raw materials needed in the production of nylon bags are petroleum products and Master-Berg, which is the coloring material that is included in the polyethylene to give it its various colors.

In the process of producing the polyethylene sheet, the raw material, which could be BASF Escorene or DOW is poured into the heating and melting unit of the extruder machine, which is then heated, melted, and then transformed into a liquid substance, and then blown under pressure through a medium.

This is thereafter cooled through an air generating apparatus, which in the process produces polyethylene sheets, which are directed by a series of rollers and then converted into bales in the output of the extruder.

The sheets are thereafter taken to the cutting and sealing machine.

PRODUCTION PLAN

The location of a nylon production plant could be sited anywhere as long as it meets the regulations of the governing agencies. And also another factor that should be put into consideration is the nearness to raw materials and also the closeness to the market.

Adequate space to accommodate the sizes of the nylon sealing and recycling machines should be well provided and also there should be a constant source of power as most of the machines involved in the production are electrically powered.

CAPITAL EXPENSES

1. COST OF LAND: This could vary depending on the location
2. EXTRUDER/BLOWER
• Foreign (Dual HD/LD Extruder Blower) N4m-N5m
