Mineral Water Bottling Plant

A water bottling plant's specifications vary by capacity and automation, but typically include a water treatment system (like RO and filtration), a filling and capping machine, and packaging equipment. Key metrics are production capacity (bottles per minute or hour), power consumption, water usage, and space requirements, with materials often being food-grade stainless steel (SS304/SS316). General specifications Material: Food-grade stainless steel (SS304/SS316) Automation: Semi-automatic or fully automatic, often with PLC control and a touch screen interface Power: Varies significantly depending on capacity, from a few kW to 65 HP or more Voltage: Typically 220V or 415V (3 phase) Certifications: Must adhere to standards like BIS and FSSAI Water treatment system Process: Reverse Osmosis (RO) is common, often supplemented with carbon filtration and UV disinfection Capacity: Varies widely, e.g., 2000 LPH (Liters Per Hour) is a common size Raw Water Source: Often ground water or borewell water, which requires pre-treatment Bottling and filling Filling Capacity: Can range from under 30 BPM (bottles per minute) to 90 BPM or higher, depending on the machine Bottle Size Range: Typically supports a range, such as 200 ml to 2000 ml (or larger) Filling Precision: Around $\pm$1% Machine Components: Includes a filler and capper, sometimes with rinsing heads Packaging and additional equipment Labelling: Integrated labelling machines for applying labels to bottles Shrink Wrapping: Shrink-wrapping systems for creating multi-packs Bottle Blow Molding: In some integrated plants, a PET bottle blowing machine may be included Conveyor System: An essential part of the line for moving bottles between stations
