Bottled Water Turnkey Solution
Turnkey Bottled Water Production Lines (AMDK)
Plan a bottled water production line around your water source, bottle and cap specifications, required output and factory layout. For an AMDK production line in Indonesia, 777Pack combines equipment integration with local project support. AMDK means Air Minum Dalam Kemasan, or packaged drinking water.
Project reference: 33,000 BPH, 250 ml PET bottled water line in Bandung, Indonesia.
Plan before selecting machines
Four decisions shape your bottled water line
Start a water bottling plant by confirming the water source, product and packaging, output target, site and project scope. Local permits and product requirements need separate confirmation for the destination country.
What treatment does my source water need?
Start with a raw-water report and your intended finished-water specification. Treatment equipment is selected after these requirements are reviewed. Use the RO vs UF water treatment guide to compare selection criteria against your water report.
How much production capacity should I choose?
Share your bottle sizes, expected demand and working hours. The proposal should identify its capacity basis and the downstream equipment required. Read the bottling line capacity planning guide to estimate required output and review line balance.
Will the complete line fit my factory?
Provide building dimensions, access points and available utilities. Planning considers equipment, conveyors, operator access, maintenance space and future expansion.
How can I assess a complete line?
Review the Bandung 33,000 BPH, 250 ml PET case for its configuration and operating video. Its specifications describe that specific project.
Production flow
Representative PET Water Line
Water treatment and bottle blowing prepare water and containers in parallel before filling. Purchased-bottle, glass and large-container projects require a different preparation route.
Water Treatment
Prepare product water to the agreed specification.
Bottle Blowing
Produce PET bottles from matched preforms and molds.
Filling
Rinse, fill and cap the approved bottle format.
Drying
Remove surface moisture before downstream operations.
Coding
Apply date, batch and traceability information.
Labeling
Apply the selected OPP, sleeve or self-adhesive label.
Packing
Group bottles in the agreed film or carton pack.
Palletizing
Stack finished packs in the agreed pallet pattern.
This representative flow shows an on-site PET blowing route. With purchased empty bottles, the agreed receiving and feeding arrangement replaces bottle blowing. Drying, inspection, cleaning, automatic palletizing and other auxiliaries are included only where the project scope requires them.
If ozone disinfection is being considered for your water treatment process, review the bromate risk and ozone disinfection guide when planning source-water assessment, process controls and monitoring.
Buy Empty PET Bottles or Blow Them on Site
Both routes supply empty PET bottles to the filling and capping stage of a water bottling line. Purchasing bottles makes bottle supply, delivery and storage part of the project plan. On-site blowing adds preform feeding, heating, stretch blow molding and the associated mold, air and cooling requirements. Compare the two routes against approved bottle samples, supply arrangements, available space, utilities and future output.
| Planning item | Purchased empty PET bottles | On-site PET blowing |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | Confirm bottle receiving, storage, feeding and transfer to the selected filler. | Add the selected PET blower, preform handling and molds; define the air, cooling and conveyor interfaces. |
| Supply and transport | Review bottle-supplier consistency, delivery frequency and handling conditions. | Review the approved preform specification, supply arrangements and on-site forming process. |
| Storage and layout | Allow for incoming bottles, material movement and the chosen feeding arrangement. | Allow for preforms, blower and utility equipment, bottle transfer and maintenance access. |
| Utilities | Confirm utilities for the filling line and any selected bottle-handling equipment. | Confirm the selected blower’s electrical, working-air, blowing-air and cooling requirements. |
| Bottle formats | Approve bottle drawings, neck finish, caps and supplier samples. | Approve bottle and preform design, neck finish, molds and any required format parts. |
| Expansion | Review future bottle demand, supply capacity and the filler’s container-handling arrangement. | Review the forming capacity and utilities alongside future filling and packaging demand. |
If your project includes PET bottle manufacturing, define the preforms, molds and blowing utilities alongside the water treatment and bottling equipment. Share the proposed bottle supplier or preform and bottle drawings so that the two routes can be evaluated.

Example water bottling plant layout for planning discussion. Your arrangement is developed around the confirmed product process, equipment scope and building.
Plan Capacity Around Your Production Schedule
Start with the quantity of saleable bottles required, each bottle size and the planned production hours. Review product and bottle changes, cleaning arrangements and expected interruptions before choosing equipment. Match water preparation, bottle supply, filling, labeling and packaging so that the proposed line can meet the agreed output conditions. Rated machine speed is a selection reference; the project’s sustained saleable output must be confirmed for the approved containers, materials, utilities and operating conditions.
| Input | What to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Production demand | Required saleable bottles per day or shift, with expected future demand. | Provides the output target for the proposed operating schedule. |
| Bottle and cap formats | Volumes, drawings, neck finishes and cap samples for each format. | Bottle geometry and closure determine compatible handling and filling arrangements. |
| Operating schedule | Planned shifts, hours and format-change frequency. | Defines the available production time and changeover conditions. |
| Upstream and downstream scope | Water-treatment demand, bottle-supply route, label design and pack pattern. | The complete-line output depends on the selected equipment and its interfaces. |
Rated speed must state the bottle volume, format and test basis. The Bandung 33,000 BPH figure refers to its 250 mL PET combi-block configuration; individual machine ratings and output for other bottle sizes require their own confirmation. Floor area and utility loads are developed from the selected equipment and site drawing rather than a universal factory standard.

How much does it cost to start a water bottling company?
A water bottling plant budget covers more than the filling machine. Equipment selection, water-treatment requirements, bottle-supply route, packaging format, automation and site services all affect the proposal. Separate the equipment quotation from the wider project budget, and identify the items included, excluded or supplied by the customer. A useful estimate starts with the water-source information, bottle and cap samples, output target, packaging requirements, factory layout and destination.
| Budget component | What to budget or confirm | Quotation boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment and selected options | Treatment, bottle preparation, filling, conveyors, labeling, packing and selected auxiliary systems. | Included equipment, options, format parts and technical interfaces follow the proposal. |
| Building and site utilities | Factory preparation and the required electrical, water, air, drainage or cooling systems. | Identify customer-provided works and any supplier-provided systems separately. |
| Transport and destination costs | Packing, transport and destination-related arrangements. | Confirm delivery terms and which project costs are included in the commercial offer. |
| Installation, commissioning and training | The agreed site-service scope, customer preparation and travel arrangements if applicable. | Include only the services expressly agreed for the project. |
| Start-up materials and other project costs | Initial bottles or preforms, caps, labels, packaging materials and other customer project needs. | Confirm the customer’s start-up budget separately from equipment supply. |
Source-water treatment, output by bottle format, the number of formats, purchased bottles or on-site blowing, labels and packs, automation, supply boundaries and site services all change the required scope. Provide these inputs for a project quotation; no standard investment figure is assigned to every plant.
