| Application | Still water, RO water, mineral water |
| Filling principle | Gravity or volumetric valve |
| Capacity | 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 |
A water line stands or falls on three inputs: raw water analysis, neck finish, and how well filler and capper are matched. BPH takes the meeting; the neck finish and the capper match get the last five minutes. Change the thread by a millimetre and the rinser clamp and capping head have to change with it.
The energy required to power equipment, regulate temperature control, and facilitate packaging processes contributes significantly to overall production expenses.
Ask for the rated capacity of the slowest station, the changeover checklist, the CIP cycle time, and the water and power consumption per 1,000 bottles. Those four numbers decide the real cost per bottle. A quotation that lists only the filler capacity and a total price leaves the buyer comparing incomparable offers.
| 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 |
Rated output, change parts and services are listed on the Blow-fill-cap Combibloc for Still Water page.
A lighter bottle is less rigid, so it deforms more under the filling head and grips differently in the star wheels. The filler may need a different neck handling and a lower contact pressure. Lightweighting is a bottle project that reaches into the filling line.
The specification sheet for the Gravity Filling Machine for Still Water carries the utility figures quoted here.
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 Water pH and Hardness Affect Bottling Machines.
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.
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.
