And it is not that those who have Electric Iron today will not buy it tomorrow, but after the change in technology and the iron gets spoiled, they will definitely buy another iron. In such a situation, if an entrepreneur starts an electric iron manufacturing business, then it can be suitable for him from the point of view of earning.
What is Electric Iron Manufacturing Business?
If we talk about an Electric Iron, it is a flat triangle-shaped surface with a handle, which is a triangle-shaped surface, it is heated by electricity. And then when it is heated it is rubbed on the cloth to remove the creases etc. and to make it flat and smooth.
But the handle does not heat up in this process as it is thus placed where it is not hot. This equipment for flattening clothes is also known as clothes press or clothes iron because this triangle flat surface is made of metal.
We can also call an electric iron an electric tool that is used to eliminate wrinkles from clothes. Water can also be kept in the steam electric irons and if needed, light water can also be sprinkled on the clothes.
So that the wrinkles can be completely eliminated from the clothes. It has good resistance to electric coil wire heating elements, it uses nickel, chromium, wire, ribbon, strip etc.
Markets and Applications
There is no doubt that at present the person who wears pressed clothes, those clothes look beautiful on him and these pressed clothes leave a better impression on others as well. The use of electric iron on clothes also increases the life time of the clothes because it is only one step of maintaining the clothes. Although dry cleaning is also done on clothes, but chemicals etc. are used in it, so it can be expensive and harmful to clothes.
While pressing on clothes does not threaten any such side effects, ironing also removes the smell of bleach from clothes.

That is because there is a provision to wear uniform in schools and colleges of all countries including India and its neighboring countries like China, Bangladesh, Pakistan.
Hence the students are encouraged towards a disciplined, clean and smart lifestyle. And they are explained that they should come to the school wearing only systematic ironed uniforms. According to a reliable figure, the market for electric iron was estimated at USD 1.0 billion in the year 2018.
And it was estimated that its market would expand at a CAGR rate of 8.3% in the coming years. Having good press in clothes has become a symbol of aristocratic society, so there are millions of people competing to look good.
Process To Start Electric Iron Manufacturing Business
By the way, any person can start an Electric Iron Manufacturing Business who can bear the cost of starting it. But if the promoter i.e. entrepreneur is an electrical engineer or a diploma holder in electric trade, then it may be favourable for him to start this type of business.

1. Manage land and buildings
As is the case for other businesses, in order to start an electric iron manufacturing business, the entrepreneur has to manage the land and building. But just as it is necessary to arrange a place for a shop, etc. in a local market or in a crowded area, it is not so if the entrepreneur has non-cultivable land somewhere away from the city, then he can do so on the same land. Can set up his own Electric Iron Manufacturing Unit by starting building construction.
But the availability of electricity, water, roads, employees, workers must be at that location, if the entrepreneur does not have his own land then he can take the land or building on rent. But keep in mind that apart from the manufacturing site, the entrepreneur also needs store rooms, space for power utilities, space to set up offices, etc. Hence the entrepreneur may require 1000-1200 square feet of space.

4. Buy machinery and raw materials
The list of machinery and equipment used in the Electric Iron Manufacturing Business is as follows.
- Furnace
- PFTE Coating Plant
- coating booth
- spray gun
- heating oven
- Plastic Injection Molding Machine
- profile die
- conveyor
- stud, fastener, screw
The list of raw materials used in this business is as follows.
- Aluminum billets
- heating element
- plastic resin bakelite
- PFTE Powder
- Thermostat
- electric cord
- packing material
5. Start manufacturing
Before starting the Electric Iron Manufacturing Process, raw material and machinery are procured from the authorized seller and the raw material is kept in the store for storage. Whereas the machinery is installed according to the floor plan. In the first step, the plate of electric iron is made by pouring molten aluminum into the mold, for this plate the correct shape is already in the mold.
In this process, first the furnace is lit and that furnace is heated to such a temperature that it is capable of melting the aluminum, after that when the furnace is ready, the aluminum billet is removed from the store room and fed into the furnace through a feeder. Is.
And when the aluminum is melted, it is poured into the mold which has the shape of an electric iron plate and when the molten aluminum solidifies in the mold, it separates from the mold and takes the form of an iron plate. In the next step this plate is coated with non stick, for this the base plate is immersed in an acidic solution of sulfuric acid for 15-20 minutes.
In the next step these are heated to a temperature of 350 to 400 ℃ and then PFTE is coated on the base plate by spraying PFTE powder on the surface of the base plate with an electrostatic powder spray gun. This is done to convert the powder coating application into a metal substrate. In the next step, the body cover and handle of the electric iron are processed through a plastic injection molding machine.
And after all the components are manufactured, they are assembled and after that the quality of the electric iron is checked and packed and launched to sell in the market.
