How much does a small fully automatic bottled drinking water equipment cost?

By HZM 599 views

The cost of a complete set of bottled water production line varies based on the production capacity. Manufacturers provide quotes for bottled water production lines based on different hourly production capacities. To provide investors with a better understanding of the prices, manufacturers share detailed prices for different models of purified bottled water and mineral water production lines, such as those with capacities of 2000-6000 bottles/hour, 12000 bottles/hour, 18000 bottles-20,000 bottles/hour, and 24,000 bottles/hour.

2000-6000 bottles/hour Bottled Water Production Line Quote

For production lines with this capacity, most are used to produce mineral water and spring water, requiring a 2-ton water treatment system. They typically include a 12-head or 18-head filling production line, connected to the production line with around 10 blow molding machines. The backend is connected to labeling machines, coding machines, shrink wrap machines, and other equipment. The total investment for a complete set of bottled water production line is approximately around 480,000 to 680,000, but actual investment needs to be tailored to the customer’s specific situation, factory conditions, and equipment selection.

12000 bottles/hour Production Line Quote

For a production line with a capacity of around 12,000 bottles/hour, a suitable investment for new investors. It is equipped with a 5-6 ton water treatment system and a 24-head filling machine connected to the backend production line. The total investment for a complete set of bottled water production line is approximately around 1,000,000 to 1,200,000.

18000 bottles-20,000 bottles/hour Production Line Quote

For a production line with a capacity of around 20,000 bottles/hour, it falls into the medium to large-scale category with higher investment costs. However, the efficiency of the production line is high, which is helpful for market expansion. With the increasing demand in the bottled water market, many water enterprises choose a production line with a capacity of around 20,000 bottles/hour. It typically includes a 10-ton water treatment system, a 32-40 head filling production line, 2 sets of six-blow molding machines, and additional equipment. The total investment for a complete set of bottled water production line is approximately around 3,800,000 to 4,500,000.

24,000 bottles/hour Bottled Water Production Line Quote

For a production line with a capacity of around 24,000 bottles/hour, it falls into the large-scale category and uses an integrated blowing and filling machine. The investment is substantial, with a total investment for a complete set of bottled water production line at approximately around 10,000,000.

These are the prices for complete sets of bottled water production lines with different capacities. The specific quote will depend on individual needs, site planning, and the choice of manufacturers. Prices may vary significantly depending on the manufacturer, and it is recommended to conduct thorough research and gather user feedback when selecting a bottled water equipment manufacturer.

RO Differential Pressure Keeps Rising: Fouling Location Matters

Locate the stage where pressure loss is increasing and relate it to normalized flow and salt passage. A first-stage rise often points to particulate or biological fouling; a later-stage rise can indicate scale, but feed analysis is required. Follow this practical fault-isolation, repair and prevention guide for bottling-line operators and maintenance teams.

Why Do Filling Valves Drip After the Bottle Leaves?

Dripping usually comes from contamination on the valve seat, worn or swollen seals, trapped pressure, incorrect closing timing or product viscosity outside the setup window. Identify whether the leak follows one valve or the entire filler. Follow this practical fault-isolation, repair and prevention guide for bottling-line operators and maintenance teams.

Sleeve Labels Wrinkle After the Shrink Tunnel

Determine whether the sleeve was straight before entering the tunnel. Then check film shrink curve, tunnel-zone temperature, airflow or steam distribution, bottle moisture, conveyor speed and container geometry.

Bottle Rinser Has Low Spray Pressure: Causes and Repair Steps

Check whether the loss affects the entire rinser or only several nozzles. System-wide loss points to supply, pump, filter or valve problems; a local pattern points to blocked nozzles, damaged tubing or a misaligned bottle. Follow this practical fault-isolation, repair and prevention guide for bottling-line operators and maintenance teams.
