Bottled Water Production Line: Complete Guide to Equipment & Specifications

Overview of Bottled Water Production Specifications

The bottled water production line is designed to manufacture large-capacity water containers, including 3-gallon and 5-gallon (18.9L) bottles. To meet market demands, our company offers water production machine with varying output capacities: 150, 300, 450, 600, 750, 900, up to 2000 bottles per hour.

Bottled Water Processing Equipment

The water source and production process greatly influence the mineral content and quality. Natural underground sources (e.g., mineral and spring water) supply some bottled water, while others use processed municipal tap water (e.g., distilled and ionized water).

Components of a Bottled Water Production Line

A fully automated bottled water production line consists of the following key machines:

1. Automatic Cap Remover

Recycled empty bottles often come from different environments (schools, offices, construction sites, etc.) and may require manual pre-cleaning if heavily contaminated. The automatic cap remover uses a pneumatic system to lift and remove caps, which are then collected for reuse.

2. Empty Bottle Leak Detection System

This system checks for leaks by pressurizing each bottle with air. If pressure drops rapidly, the defective bottle is removed from the production line. While essential for large-scale operations, smaller producers may find it less cost-effective due to high air consumption.

3. Internal & External Bottle Brushing Machines

• Internal Brush Washer: A rotating brush with water jets cleans the inner surface thoroughly.

• External Brush Washer: High-speed brushes and spray nozzles clean the outer surface and base.

4. Automatic Bottle Loading System

A pneumatic mechanism transfers empty bottles into the filling machine.

5. Bottled Water Filling Machine

This all-in-one system performs:

• Disinfection & Rinsing: Multiple stages of hot/cold disinfectant sprays, drip drying, and purified water rinsing.

• Filling & Capping: Precise filling with overflow recycling to minimize waste, followed by automatic cap sealing.

6. Online Cap Disinfection Machine

An automated system sorts, cleans, and disinfects caps using spray jets and air drying, reducing contamination risks.

7. Visual Inspection Station

Operators manually inspect bottles for impurities to ensure product safety.

8. Automatic Film Sleeving & Shrinking Machines

• Film Sleeving: Applies a protective film over bottle necks.

• Steam Shrinking: Uses heat to tighten the film for a secure seal.

9. Bagging & Palletizing Systems

• Lifting & Bagging: Automatically suspends bottles for easy manual bagging.

• Palletizer: Stacks finished products efficiently, reducing labor costs.

Our advanced water production machine systems ensure high efficiency, hygiene, and automation for bottled water manufacturers. Whether producing 150 or 2000 bottles per hour, each component is optimized for quality and performance.
