Choosing the right water filling machine is one of the most critical decisions for any bottled water or beverage production business. The wrong choice can lead to low efficiency, poor product quality, and high operating costs. The right choice, however, can boost your output, improve hygiene, and scale with your business.
Whether you're just starting out or upgrading your current production line, here are essential tips to help you choose the perfect filling solution for your needs.
Before selecting a filling machine, understand the nature of your product:
Still water or purified water: Low-viscosity, ideal for gravity filling machines.
Mineral water with gas or sparkling water: May require pressure filling systems.
Nutrient-infused or flavored water: If viscosity increases, piston or pump fillers may be better.
At Sunswell, we offer different filling technologies specifically matched to liquid properties — ensuring accuracy and long-term performance.
Ask yourself:
How many bottles per hour (BPH) do you need to fill?
For startups, 2000–6000 BPH systems may be sufficient.
For medium or large-scale plants, 12000–36000 BPH capacity is recommended.
Choosing equipment that aligns with your growth plan is essential. Sunswell provides scalable options — you can start small and expand without replacing the entire system.
What packaging do you use?
PET Bottles filling machine: Most common, cost-efficient
Glass Bottles filling machine: Require vacuum filling or special handling.
Aluminum Cans filling machine: Need specific sealing mechanisms.
Your machine should be compatible with different shapes, volumes, and neck types. Sunswell systems support a wide range of containers, and our team can help configure the system for smooth bottle transition and changeover.
Filling machines come in various automation levels:
Semi-automatic: Cost-effective for small batches but requires manual intervention.
Fully automatic: Ideal for medium to large operations; offers higher consistency, hygiene, and speed.
If you're focused on efficiency, Sunswell's CombiBlock series (blowing, filling, and capping in one unit) helps reduce space, energy, and maintenance.
Can your filling machine integrate with:
Water treatment systems?
Labeling and capping machines?
Case packers and palletizers?

Cleanliness is key in the bottled water industry. Look for machines with:
Stainless steel construction
