Zhangjiagang King Quality 12000BPH Gravity Filler Mineral Water Filling Machine

Q1  What is the minimum production capacity you can provide for a water bottling line, and what is the maximum?

Mars packing machinery can offer a full range of water bottling line solutions with different production capacity as following:

Minimum capacity(Small factory/Start-up): 2,000BPH. This small automatic bottling line is cost-effective and perfect for local distribution or pilot production.

Standard capacity(Medium scale): 4,000-10,000BPH. This is our hot-selling model with a balance of price and efficiency.

Maximum capacity(High speed/Industrial):15,000-36,000BPH. Our high-speed fully automatic production line features integrated rinsing filling capping and labeling for large manufacturers.

Note: The production speed all are based on 500ml PET bottles. We can customize the layout based on your specific workshop size. Please contact us for a free layout design.

Q2  Does your water bottling line include the water purification system, or is that sold separately?

our standard water bottling line does not include water purification system, but we can supply whole in solution which including it upon customer request. you can choose the purification stage (sand filter, carbon filter, RO membrane, or full system) separately or together with the filling line. This flexibility helps you optimize your budget and space.

Q3  What bottle sizes and shapes can this line handle — does it support both small 250ml bottles and large 5-gallon barrels?

We specialize in customized solutions for various bottle sizes . While a single standard line usually doesn't mix 250ml and 5-gallon specs due to capping and rinsing differences, we supply the right machine for each:

For Small to Medium Bottles (200ml - 2L):
Our high-speed automatic filling machine is designed for 200ml to 2000ml bottles. This is perfect for table water, carbonated drinks, hot filled juice etc. It supports round, square, and customized PET/glass bottle shapes with simple changeover parts.

For Middle Bottle size:

3-10L disposable PET bottles is also in our product range. We can provide machine with speed from 400BPH to 3000BPH basis on 5L bottle size.

For Large Barrels (3 & 5 Gallon / 18.9L):
Yes, our QGF series 3-5 gallon filling line is specifically designed for 18.9L (5 gallon) and 11.36L (3 gallon) PC barrels. It handles the standard Φ270×490mm barrel shape used in water delivery stations, with capacities ranging from 100 BPH to 2400 BPH.

Please share your specific bottle size or drawing . so we can provide you with the most suitable machine model

Q4  Is this a complete turnkey project? What exactly is included from start to finish?

Yes, mars packing machinery can provide a complete turnkey project for the water bottling line. We offer an A-Z Solution that includes everything from pre-treatment to final packaging.

Q5  What type of filling technology do you use for water - gravity filling or pressure filling? What is the accuracy?

We use gravity filling technology for still water and pressure filling for carbonated or sparkling water to ensure optimal speed and product integrity.

Filling accuracy:

Gravity filler: ±3mm liquid level line for still water

Pressure filler:±3mm(for carbonated water, maintaining

 consistent CO2 levels)

Q6  What certifications does this line have (CE, ISO, etc.)? Can you provide the certificates?

Our advanced water bottling line undergoes rigorous quality control. Each machine is designed and manufactured in strict compliance with international standards, holding the essential CE certification and ISO 9001 quality management system certification. We also provide optional SGS or TÜV reports upon request. These certifications ensure that our filling equipment not only meets European safety directives (CE) but also guarantees consistent performance and hygiene in your production facility.

Q7  How long does delivery take, and how long does installation and commissioning take on-site?

When sourcing a complete water bottling line for your business, understanding the lead time—from factory order to the first bottle rolling off the line—is critical for project planning. Below is the standard timeline for delivery, on-site installation, and commissioning.

1. Delivery Time (Production & Shipping)

The total delivery time consists of manufacturing and sea freight.

The normal PET water filling lines manufacturing and assembly phase typically takes 30–45 days.

Custom-built high-speed lines or those requiring specific voltage (3 phase 220V/60HZ) or materials (Stainless Steel 316L) may take 60 days or longer.

Sea Freight & Customs: 20 to 40 days (depending on destination).

Shipping from major Chinese ports (Ningbo/Shanghai) to Africa or the Middle East takes approximately 3-5 weeks. Shipping to South America or Europe is similar.

Urgent Orders:We also can provide fast delivery (within 1-2 weeks) for specific machinery, but full production lines generally require the standard lead time for factory acceptance testing.

2. On-Site Installation & Commissioning Time

Once the machinery arrives at your factory, the timeline depends on your site preparation and the complexity of the automation.

Total On-Site Time: 2 to 6 weeks (Typically 20 to 45 days).

Standard Setup (1-3 weeks): For a mid-capacity line (2000 BPH to 18000 BPH) with good site preparation (concrete foundations, power, and water pretreatment ready), installation and mechanical hook-up takes about 1-2 weeks.

Rapid Example: For a high-speed 36,000 BPH line, a professional team completed installation in just 20 days by working efficiently in shifts .

3. What Affects the Timeline?

Site Preparation: If civil work and utilities (compressed air, chilled water and electricity) are not ready, delays will occur. It will save time make these things ready before engineer arrive.

Customization: Fully customized "turnkey" solutions (integrating blow molding, filling, capping, and labeling) take longer to test before shipping than standard combo units.

Q8  Do you send engineers to our country for installation? What are the costs and conditions?

Yes, absolutely. To ensure your production line operates at peak efficiency, we provide "Overseas Installation & Commissioning Services." We do not just sell the machines. we also ensure they run perfectly in your facility.

Here is how our remote support process works:

Site Preparation Guide: Before we travel, we send you detailed civil engineering drawings so you can prepare the foundation, power supply, and water source.

Engineer Dispatch: Once the machines arrive at your your factory and ready for installation, we dispatch 1 to 4 senior engineers directly to your country.

Full Setup: Our team handles the mechanical installation, electrical hookup, and debugging.

Training: We will train your local workers on how to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the line before we leave.

Q9  What is the power requirement and footprint (floor space) of a typical 10,000 BPH water line?

water bottling line floor plan is about 1000 square meter,and power consumption is about 200Kw depends on different solution and machine types.

Q10  What warranty do you offer, and what after-sales support is available if a part breaks down?

At mars packing machinery, we understand that downtime costs money. We don't just sell machines. We also provide lifelong partnership to ensure your automatic water filling line runs at peak efficiency.

We can send parts within 1-7 days by express courier like DHL, Fedex etc
