We are continuously expanding our existing facilities and setting up newer plants at various

locations. Our bottling capacities are not only the most modern but also amongst the largest

too. We have existing capacity to bottle over 3.6 crore liters a year (360 lakh bottles of 1 liter

each).

We are a prominent supplier and exporter of Manikchand Oxyrich Packaged Water, which is

the purest and healthiest form of water. Optimization of patented revolutionary process

enables the 300% more oxygen in this water. Our Oxyrich packaged water is in compliance

with most rigorous standards in food safety chain and hence widely preferred by quality

conscious clients spread all across the globe.

The Empowerment of Life

A robust framework enables precision and adds value to a process. Equipped with the right

tools and techniques, goals are achieved and perfection attained.

The process of manufacturing packaged drinking water through internationally employed

methodologies at OXYRICH is supported by the most modern and sophisticated

infrastructure. Right from sourcing the raw water to various stages of filtration and the final

packaging, global standards are followed to ensure purity, quality, and superiority.

The Essentials of Life

Water and oxygen are the two most basic essentials of life and energy. Oxygen is a natural

energizer and body purifier.

You can survive weeks to months without food, days without water, but only minutes without

oxygen. Providing sufficient levels of oxygen to every part of the body promotes optimum

health. Oxygen provides the energy for immune system, growth, maintenance, repair, and all

the other functions of the body. It also allows you to detoxify chemical pollutants. Needless

to say, more the amount of oxygen, bette it becomes for a pure, healthy living.

The Elixir of Life

Water - the sweet nectar of life; the glass of immeasurable joy and invaluable health. From

water flows all life-forms; it is the source of all human energy - keeping the body metabolism

in shape and boosting energy levels. Water is what forms 75% of the whole earth; and 70% of

the whole human body. A blissful combination of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, water is

what makes the world go around. The purity of this elixir of life needs to be captured and

sustained to fully realize its eternal benefits.

Patented Technology

OXYRICH employs a patented oxygenation process to infuse more oxygen in water - 300%

more. This is done by physically dissolving pure oxygen by a well researched scientific

method, using state of the art equipments. It is the only packaged drinking water with extra

oxygen for healthy living. This ensures that whenever you have a sip of OXYRICH, your

body is enriched with more oxygen leading to improved metbolism, enabling higher energy

levels and promoting wellness. The dissolved oxygen is more than 300% more than found in

normal drinking water.

ABOUT US – CLOSURES

Creative Plastics, associate of Dhariwal Industries, manufacture 3 lakh closures/caps for bottles of neck size 25x30 mm. The closures are of utmost importance in any bottling system. World renowned machines like Husky machine is used to produce superior quality leak proof closures.

Purification

The water is processed with multi-stage purification processes such as - Sand Filter, Activated Carbon Filter, Ultraviolet Disinfection,Ultra Filtration, Reverse Osmosis, Ozonation.

Eliminates load of total suspended solids in the raw water.

Activated Carbon Filter (ACF)

Activated carbon is prepared by slowly heating coal or coconut shell. This filter removes most of the organic contamination and pesticide residuals from the water. It also controls taste and odour of water.

Ultraviolet Disinfection (UV)

Water is exposed to UV light of wavelength 245 nanometers (nm). A dosage of 16000 microwatt/sq.cm. at 40°C for effective disinfection.

Ultra Filtration

Ultra filtration is a low pressure membrane process that removes dissolved organic macro molecules, viruses, Pyrogen enzymes etc.

Reverse Osmosis

A high pressure membrane process to eliminate dissolved impurities like unwanted salts and retain minerals which are essential to human body. This done by carefully selecting the membrane by a technology developed by DIL.

Ozonation

Ozonation is the strongest oxidizer and disinfection agent which acts on broad spectrum of microbiological organisms. Oxyrich is disinfected by 0.3 ppm of ozone. Ozone is 30000 times more effective than chlorine. Use of chlorine is eco unfriendly and produces THMs (tri-halomethanes) in water, which can cause cancer.

Name of the person contacted

At the time of industrial visit to the nearest oxyrich plant of Pune we contacted Mr.Vishal

Takawale who was our supervisor.

Focus Area:-

(PRODUCTION)

The production is defined as the processes and methods employed to transform

tangible inputs (raw materials, semi finished goods, or subassemblies) and intangible inputs

(ideas, information, knowledge) into goods or services.

PACKAGING

Packaging is anything that is used to contain, protect, deliver or present goods. 

Goods could be raw materials or processed items.

Packaging can be made out of paper, board, wood, glass, metals, plastics, cork, hessian, jute

or ceramics.

(BOTTLING)

High Density Polyethylene:

HDPE is the most widely used resin for plastic bottles. This material is economical, impact

resistant, and provides a good moisture barrier. HDPE is compatible with a wide range of

products including acids and caustics but is not compatible with solvents. It is supplied in

FDA approved food grade. HDPE is naturally translucent and flexible. The addition of color

will make HDPE opaque although not glossy. HDPE lends itself readily to silk screen

decoration. While HDPE provides good protection at below freezing temperatures, it cannot

be used with products filled at over 160 °F (71 °C) or products requiring a hermetic (vacuum)

seal.

Low Density Polyethylene:

LDPE is similar to HDPE in composition. It is less rigid and generally less chemically

resistant than HDPE, but is more translucent. LDPE is used primarily for squeeze

applications. LDPE is significantly more expensive than HDPE.

Polyethylene Terephthalate:

Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET, PETE or polyester) is commonly used for carbonated

beverage and water bottles. PET provides very good alcohol and essential oil barrier

properties, generally good chemical resistance (although acetones and ketones will attack

PET) and a high degree of impact resistance and tensile strength. The orienting process

serves to improve gas and moisture barrier properties and impact strength. This material does

not provide resistance to high temperature applications—max. temperature 160 °F (71 °C).

OBSERVATION

1) We were taken to the Oxyrich plant of Wade Bolai which is nearby to Pune.

2) Before entering the production premises we were provided with the short information

of the plant and there rules with some safety measures which is been taken by the workers.

3)After entering the production sector the first process we saw was the making of the bottled

by blowing of hot air into the test tube like product. Which was made up of granuales, this

granuales were made up of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) material which is generally used

for making bottles .The hot air which was blown in to prepare bottles generally consisted 90-

100 degree of temperature.

4)The next machine was the filling machine which used to fill water in the bottles whose

water was ozonised to kill the bacteria present in the water.

5)The very own next step was of caping ,it was done with a high speed of 116 bottle/per

minute.

6)The special purification process is carried out to make the water 3oo% more oxygen. And

this plant uses around 1.2 lakh litres of water.

7)They prepare 120000 bottles/per day. After caping the bottles go through a cue under the

sensors were they pass through sensors and whichever is found defective are removed out and

send to recycle.

8)Finishing this stage it comes for packaging where this cue of bottles are distributed in 3

columns and are finally packed in a box of 12 bottles.1 box contains 12 bottles of one litre.

9)Along with this they also fill 20 litre jars. Its speed is 240 jars/per hourand this is a semi

manual process.

10)for safety precaution they use the pplastic caps so that the hair should not fall in the

production premises as this is a type of drinkable product.

11)There source of water is wells, tube wells, reserved water etc.and around 30 to 40 people

work in one shift. There one shift is of 8 hours and at the time of demend the company carry

out 3 shift a day it means the whole day production is carried out.
