Raw water, neck finish and the filler-capper match decide more about a water line than its BPH. Most of the meeting goes on BPH; the other two get a fraction of the time. Rinser clamps and capping heads are cut for one neck finish; a 1 mm thread change means new change parts rather than a new machine.
Star wheels, guide rails, grippers, cap chute and filling recipe all change with the format. The parts are not the cost; the time is. Two formats on one line typically cost 40-90 minutes per switch, which is why the production factor falls from about 0.85 to 0.70 and why a second small line is sometimes cheaper than one flexible line.
| 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 |
Site requirements, air and water consumption sit with the Blow-fill-cap Combibloc for Still Water.
A small line gives up automation, not quality. Manual or semi-automatic packing, fewer accumulation buffers, and a simpler CIP usually follow. What it should not give up is the filling valve and the capping head, because those two decide whether the product is saleable.
The specification sheet for the Gravity Filling Machine for Still Water carries the utility figures quoted here.
Temperature, valve wear and bottle variation, in that order. Water is less sensitive than oil, but a warm product foams more and a worn valve closes late. Weighing a sample every few hours catches the drift before it reaches the customer.
The same question is worked through from another angle in Water Filler Faults: Leaks, Foam and Inaccuracy, Symptom by.
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.
Plan for 380 V three-phase power, 0.6-0.8 MPa compressed air, and a chiller if blow molding runs in-house. Exact consumption belongs in the utility schedule of the quotation, not in a rule of thumb.
For a complete line with blowing, filling, labelling and packing, plan several weeks on site after arrival, plus operator training. Civil work and utility readiness are the usual delay, not the machinery.
Not on the same filler. Carbonation needs isobaric valves, a CO2 dosing and mixing unit, and a different bowl. A combiblock can carry both valve sets, but they are separate specifications, not a field conversion.
