Hollow glass was made as early as 2000-500 BC.
Around 200 BC, the blowpipe method was used to make glass containers for olive oil and spirits.
During the Roman Empire, the demand for glass containers increased, and most products were round-bottomed, supported by iron or wood frames.Later, the development of glass blowing molds led to the creation of flat bottling without a stand.
From the 5th century to the 15th century, the technology of pressing, drawing and blowing was greatly developed, which laid the foundation for the mechanization of glass manufacturing.
In 1867, German Siemens brothers applied the regenerator continuous melting tank kiln to the glass industry, making the mass production of glass bottles possible.
In 1880 ~ 1890, the molding technology of pressing and blowing for wide mouth bottles and blowing and blowing for small mouth bottles was invented (see glassmaking).
The first bottle-making machine with electric motor drive appeared in 1900.
1904 ~ 1905 American M.J. Owens created the automatic vacuum suction bottle making machine.
Since 1910, the drip feeder began to develop.
1914 semi-automatic blowing – blowing process developed mature.
In 1925, the United States Hadford – Empel company successfully developed the determinant bottle-making machine, using blow – blow production, and later developed to also can use pressure – blow production. The determinant bottle-making machine is still the main model in use, and gradually to the multi-unit, multi-drop direction of development.
At present, the main production technology is blowing and pressure blowing method.
