4. Introduction
A bottling plant is a specialized of filling empty containers with the desired product and
performing other needed services to prepare that product to be shipped to customers.
Setting up and running a bottling plant requires an investment in specialized equipment as
shown in the figure

5. Introduction
It was in 1936 that Al Jomaih Company saw the light when two brothers, Abdul Aziz and
Mohammed Abdullah Al Jomaih founded a small trading establishment in the town of
Shaqra. Four years later, keen to further expand the company’s activities, the brothers
moved the hub of their business to Riyadh
Throughout its journey of successes, 1957 marked a special year for Al Jomaih Company
with a premier partnership in the beverage industry that saw it become the franchise
bottler of Pepsi-Cola in Riyadh and the first processor of locally made carbonated
beverages.

7. Summer training Schedule
I came five days every week and done from 4 to 8 training hours every day deepened in
how busy the day will be.
I Trained with them from 2022/6/19 until 2022/8/11

9. Operation
For every beverages bottling plant there some
standard required machines to run the plant
like the ones shown in the figure below
Also, there some different between Cans
beverages and bottle beverages in the
process

15. Operation
In Aljomaih There are five production lines
KHS line is the Cans line it usually gets
90000-103000 cans/hour
NRB is the Glass bottle line It produces
around 25000 bottles/hour.
PET1/2 Is the oldest lines and it produce
Plastic bottle line They have two lines to cover
the different type of product. It produces
around 10500 bottles/hour in a single line.
Aquafina Is the Drinking water Line it usually
gets 38000-40000 Bottles/hour.

17. Maintenance
What they do
One of the main pillars in industrial plant has
to be maintenance department. So, if the plant
has a good maintenance team a lot of things
will improve like the quality and the efficiency.

18. Maintenance
How they do it
-First need a good knowledge of the machine
that you deal with like what need to be done
and when
-Second need a good source of information
For example: Manual for the machine either
Hardcopy or software

20. Quality
The Quality Department
-As a Mechanical Engineer This department
usually don’t involve us.
-Their objective that they make sure that the
product they produce and the supply that they
receive is up to standard
-They achieve that by some tests that has
some standers the product need to got to also
they stander for the plant itself

21. Quality
CIP/Test
CIP is process of cleaning the machine tools without major disassembly.
It contains some steps they needed to be followed To achieve a good quality and
it’s shown in the list below
A “caustic” substance is one that is quite powerful and capable of dissolving other
substances. While caustic cleaners can be quite effective, they also pose a variety
of potential dangers this why the do multiple Rinsing . standard

24. - Boiler main goal is to heat up water to be used
in CIP and Making syrup
- Here, water partially fills a boiler barrel. The heat
source is inside a furnace or firebox that has to
be kept permanently surrounded by the water in
order to maintain the temperature of the
heating surface below the boiling point. As
shown in the figure on the right

25. - They use it to help them cool down machine
and liquid with the help of other liquid that
goes through the machine and lost heat by heat

26. - Compresses air is been used in industrial
production for different uses all the time and
come from compressors
- compressors. Most common today are the
hermetic scroll, semi-hermetic screw, centrifugal
compressors, or reciprocating compressor

28. Leading
The Leading skill / Improving the work / My assignment
1/1/2023

The leading skill is one the important skill to have as and engineer it will push your position
to the next level.
Improving the work for the compony because every great compony has a great leader as the
head of department and that goes for engineer as will a lot of engineer has a team beside
them so if they guide in the right way the whole team will improve.
They test my abilities in small scale as they assigned me to Aquafina line to see what making
the efficiency go below the stander.
I did that assignment put no direct order to any of the staff just reporting to the head of the
operation department as he was my Summer training mentor.
30. Courses Studied
Useful courses studied
GE211: How to work as a team how to avoid problems also how to write a good report.
ME371: Everything related to heat and refrigerant cycle it helps me a lot.
ME360: in maintenance and the workshop I saw a lot of machines that has separated parted and the
course sometime teach me about what part of that machine is.
EE339: this course gave me an idea about generators and motors and it’s the most common machine
used in the plant.
M340/ ME 441: gave me more idea why they design some machine in a way that will help them reduce
the cost and be more efficient.

31. Conclusion
In Conclusion the summer training was one of the most informative things I did in my life it taught me
how a Bottling plant work. In specific I learned about how can you make a good operation department
and the plant/machine layout like: - Depalletizer, blow molding, filler, caper, seamer, labeler, packer, and
palletizer.
Also, I learned About maintenance for how to look up for a new part for the machine, the trouble
shooting you need to do if there is no clear indictor about what the problem is, and how the machine
differs between old and new model.
The important of quality and how to achieve the quality that you aim for and how does it relate to good
product testing.
Then, I learned about utility the heart of every plant in earth because it has a lot of branches in it like: -
water treatment, boiler, Chiller, and Co2.
After that, I learned about Reporting and how does that help with keep an eye on the rate of production
and how does that relate to seeing what keep stopping the production.
I also learned one the most skilled as an engineer which is leading, I took that in a small scale but it was
helpful.
