Complete turnkey bottled water lines integrating RO treatment, pure water storage, PET bottle blowing (350-1500 ml), 8-8-3 filling, labelling, inkjet coding and sleeve shrink packaging - specified as one balanced scope rather than separate machines.
A bottled water production line takes raw water at one end and delivers labelled, coded, shrink-wrapped retail packs at the other. The complete line integrates seven stages — RO water treatment, pure water storage, bottle blowing, filling, labelling, coding and shrink packaging — each of which must be matched in throughput, because a line is only as fast as its slowest machine. HydropureWater supplies the line as one engineered scope rather than as separate machines, so that the RO plant, the blower and the filler are sized against each other and against your target output.
| Stage | Equipment | Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RO water treatment machine | Removes dissolved salts, organics and micro-organisms to produce beverage-grade purified water |
| 2 | Pure water storage tank | Stainless steel buffer holding treated water between production and filling |
| 3 | Bottle blowing machine | Forms 350 ml–1,500 ml PET bottles from preforms on site |
| 4 | 8-8-3 filling machine | Monobloc rinsing, filling and capping |
| 5 | Round bottle labelling machine | Applies wrap-around labels to filled bottles |
| 6 | Inkjet coding machine | Prints batch number and expiry date |
| 7 | Sleeve shrink packaging machine | Wraps and shrinks bottles into retail multipacks |
Line throughput is set by the filling machine and must be matched by the RO plant and blower. Tell us your target bottles per hour and bottle formats and we will specify each stage against it.
Raw water is first treated by the RO plant, which removes dissolved salts, organics and micro-organisms to reach beverage-grade quality, and the permeate is held in a stainless steel pure water tank that buffers the treatment plant against the intermittent draw of the filling line. In parallel, PET preforms are heated and stretch-blown into bottles, so that empty bottles are produced on site rather than shipped in — the single largest logistics saving in bottled water production, since shipping empty bottles is shipping air. Blown bottles enter the 8-8-3 monobloc, which rinses, fills and caps in one continuous rotary motion. Filled bottles are labelled, inkjet-coded with batch and expiry data, then collated and sleeve-shrink wrapped into retail packs.
Most bottled water projects that disappoint were bought as a collection of machines rather than as a line. The filler runs at a rate the RO plant cannot sustain, or the blower cannot keep the filler fed, and the plant never reaches its nameplate output. HydropureWater specifies the water treatment stage against the filling rate from the outset — drawing on a project record that includes 300 m³/day commercial RO for a beverage factory and 3,000 LPH RO plants with scale inhibitor dosing for beverage industry duty — so the line is balanced before it is quoted, not after it is installed.
Seven stages: RO water treatment, pure water storage tank, bottle blowing machine, 8-8-3 filling machine, round bottle labelling machine, inkjet coding machine and sleeve shrink packaging machine. Supplied as one integrated scope so that throughput is matched across all stages.
The blowing machine handles small bottle formats from 350 ml to 1,500 ml from PET preforms. Format changes are made by changing moulds and adjusting the filler and labeller, so a single line can serve several retail sizes.
No, and you should not. The water treatment stage is part of the line and must be sized against the filling rate. Buying a filler and sourcing the RO plant separately is the most common reason a bottling line fails to reach its rated output.
By the filling machine, with every other stage sized to match it. Tell us your target output in bottles per hour and the bottle formats you intend to run, and we will specify the RO capacity, storage volume, blower rate and packaging throughput to suit.
