Use this as a discussion map for the equipment scope, utilities and quotation boundary.
Equipment Modules
Confirm which modules are required, optional or already available in your factory.
- Manual or automatic cap removing section
- Outer bottle brushing machine
- Inner washing and disinfecting stations
- Filling and capping machine
- Cap elevator and cap sterilizing option
- Light inspection station
- Sleeving, shrinking and bagging equipment

Capacity and Buyer Scenario
Capacity should be reviewed together with bottle supply, packing speed, utilities and available factory space.
| Capacity / Situation | Suitable buyer scenario |
|---|---|
| 100 BPH | Small local water delivery operation |
| 300 BPH | Growing reusable bottle plant with moderate labor |
| 600 BPH | Commercial 5 gallon plant needing better washing and handling |
| 900 BPH | Higher output line with stronger automation and space needs |
| 1200 BPH | Industrial reusable bottle line requiring detailed layout planning |
Information Buyers Should Confirm
These details make quotations easier to compare and reduce missing equipment scope.
- Bottle volume and neck specification
- Bottle condition and return process
- Cap type and closure requirement
- Target bottles per hour
- Water treatment already available or needed
- Available factory space and washing drainage
- Labor plan and automation level
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The safest quotation is one where upstream, filling, downstream packing and installation responsibilities are clear.
- Ignoring dirty returned bottle handling
- Underestimating washing water and drainage
- Buying filling capacity without matching cap removing and bagging
- Not planning storage space for empty and finished bottles
