How to Choose a Water Filling Line

Water filling lines are the most common type of bottling equipment. They handle still water, purified water, mineral water, and sometimes seltzer. Key factors to consider include capacity (BPH), bottle format (PET vs glass), and automation level.

Key Components

• Water Treatment System — Reverse osmosis, filtration, and sterilization
• Bottle Rinser — Washes bottles before filling
• Filling Machine — Gravity or overflow type for still water
• Capping Machine — Screw capping or snap capping
• Labeling Machine — Self-adhesive or sleeve labeling
• Packaging — Shrink wrapping or box packing

Capacity Recommendations

For small businesses, a 2,000-4,000 BPH line is a good starting point. Medium-scale operations typically need 6,000-15,000 BPH, while large facilities require 20,000+ BPH.
