| Application | Still water, RO water, mineral water |
| Filling system | Gravity or volumetric valve |
| Capacity range | 5,000-48,000 BPH at 500 ml |
| Bottle range | 200 ml to 16 L, by configuration |
| Material | SUS 304 product contact, CIP-ready |
| Line scope | Treatment, blowing, filling, capping, labelling, packing |
Maintenance effort should follow the wear map, not the machine layout. Seals, capping inserts, guide rail blocks and filters account for most unplanned stops; painting and polishing account for none. A short daily check on those four items beats a long monthly inspection.
Work backwards from cases per day. Divide bottles per day by productive hours, then divide again by a production factor of 0.65-0.85. The factor covers changeover, CIP, label roll changes and downstream stops. Sizing at 1.0 is the most common and most expensive mistake in a water project, because the shortfall only appears once the line is running.
| Filling principle | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Gravity | Still water, one rigid bottle size | Thin-wall bottles deform under head pressure |
| Volumetric valve | 3-15 L and mixed formats | Valve wear shows as slow drift, not a sudden error |
| Isobaric | Carbonated water only | Needs counter-pressure, so slower per valve |
| Load cell | Oil and high-value liquid | Slower cycle, higher cost per valve |
The unit behind this configuration is the Blow-fill-cap Combibloc for Still Water.
Mineral water is defined by its source and its mineral profile, so treatment is limited to what the label claim allows. Purified water starts from any feed and is built up to a specification. The filling machine is the same; the treatment train and the legal claim are not.
Rated output, change parts and services are listed on the Gravity Filling Machine for Still Water page.
A monoblock carries the rinser, the filler and the capper on one frame with one drive. It removes two transfers, the floor space between them and the bottle handling at each. Three separate machines are easier to replace one at a time and easier to run at different rates.
The same question is worked through from another angle in How to Reduce Waste in High-Speed Water Filling Lines.
200 bottles per minute. Divide BPH by 60. A 24,000 BPH line runs at 400 bottles per minute, which is why filler and packer have to be matched rather than bought separately.
Yes, with change parts: star wheels, guide rails, grippers and a filling recipe. Budget 40-90 minutes per switch and expect the production factor to drop from about 0.85 to 0.70.
It follows the raw water analysis, not a standard package. Surface water usually needs multi-media filtration, RO and UV or ozone. Low-hardness municipal water may need only carbon filtration and disinfection.
It depends on whether blowing, packing and palletizing sit in the same hall. Fix the footprint by drawing the layout at 1:100 with conveyor radii included, then check the turning radius of the largest format.
