The price depends on whether the quotation covers only the filling machine or a complete PET bottled water production line. A basic 3-in-1 rinsing, filling and capping machine costs less than a turnkey project that also includes water treatment, bottle blowing, labeling, packaging, conveyors, compressors, chillers and other auxiliary equipment.

Based on typical Suncrown configurations, a complete 6,000 BPH linear line for 500ml bottles may start from approximately USD 198,000. High-speed combiblock projects can require an investment of more than USD 1 million.

A complete PET bottled water production line may include:

• Raw water treatment and reverse-osmosis system
• PET preform and bottle blowing machine
• High- and low-pressure air compressor system
• Air conveyor and bottle conveyor systems
• 3-in-1 rinsing, filling and capping machine
• Sleeve, OPP or self-adhesive labeling machine
• Date coding and bottle inspection equipment
• Shrink wrapping or carton packaging system
• Chiller, tanks, CIP and auxiliary equipment
• Optional robotic palletizing system

A new or developing bottled water factory may consider a linear production line between 4,000 and 8,000 BPH. An established company supplying supermarkets, wholesalers and regional distributors may require 10,000–16,000 BPH or more.

High-speed combiblock lines are generally more suitable for large-scale projects requiring approximately 18,000 BPH and above. The correct capacity should be determined by expected sales rather than selecting the largest machine available.

Yes. A modern PET water filling line can be configured to handle several bottle sizes, such as 330ml, 500ml, 750ml, 1L, 1.5L and 2L. Change parts and machine adjustments may be required when switching between bottle formats.

Production speed is normally calculated according to a specific reference bottle. A line rated at a certain speed for 500ml bottles will generally operate at a lower BPH when producing 1.5L bottles.

Yes. A raw water analysis is strongly recommended before the treatment system is finalized. The report helps determine the required filtration stages, reverse-osmosis capacity, membrane configuration, sterilization method and chemical dosing requirements.

Without an accurate water analysis, the selected system may provide insufficient treatment or create unnecessary energy, membrane and maintenance costs.

Generator-compatible electrical planning is possible, but the generator must be sized according to the total connected and starting loads of the blowing machine, compressors, chiller, filling equipment, conveyors, packaging system and water treatment equipment.

Voltage stability and electrical protection should also be considered to protect motors, PLCs, frequency converters and other electrical components.

A linear line is usually more suitable for small and medium-capacity projects because it offers a lower initial investment, flexible factory layout and easier access for maintenance.

A blow-fill-cap combiblock is generally selected for higher-capacity factories that require greater automation, fewer empty-bottle transfer stages and a more compact production arrangement.

Installation planning, commissioning support and operator training can be included according to the agreed project scope. Training can cover equipment operation, production changeovers, routine inspection, cleaning, maintenance and basic troubleshooting.

The manufacturing period depends on production capacity, automation level and equipment scope. A complete project generally requires approximately three to four months for engineering, manufacturing, assembly and testing after the technical configuration and commercial terms have been confirmed.

Shipping, customs clearance, factory preparation, installation and commissioning time should be added separately when planning the commercial production date.

To receive a more accurate quotation, prepare the target production capacity, main bottle sizes, bottle drawings, raw water analysis, labeling method, packaging format, factory dimensions, electrical standard, destination port and required installation scope.
