In the increasingly competitive global beverage market, India—as a populous nation—is experiencing exponential growth in demand for bottled water. However, the complex local water quality conditions and stringent food safety regulations impose extremely high demands on the filtration precision and automation level of production equipment.
In March 2024, a client from India approached us at www.hnunmachinery.com. His objective was clear: to establish a 7,200 BPH Bottled Mineral Water Production Line. This line must not only achieve full automation from bottle blanks to finished products but also ensure the final water meets India's stringent food safety regulations.
Analysis of Customer Core Pain Points and Needs
1. Production Capacity Matching: For a medium-to-high-speed production line capable of 7,200 bottles per hour, stable coordination among individual equipment units must be ensured to meet the growing local market demand.2. Water Quality Requirements: Ensure finished water complies with Indian food safety regulations.
3. Full-Line Automation: Seamless integration is required from the PET bottle-blowing machine through filling, capping, labeling, to final shrink-wrap packaging, minimizing contamination risks from manual intervention.
Customized Solutions
To address the specific requirements of this Indian client, we leveraged our robust turnkey integration capabilities to deliver a high-standard “turnkey” project:1. Core Water Treatment System: Micron-Level Filtration + Dual Sterilization
To meet customers' stringent water quality demands, we have moved beyond traditional single-stage filtration by implementing a three-stage deep treatment module:l Precision Filtration: Equipped with high-precision 3.5-micron bag/cartridge filters that effectively capture fine particles, colloids, and microbial carriers in raw water, laying a solid foundation for subsequent sterilization.
l Dual Sterilization Assurance:
• Ultraviolet (UV) Sterilizer: Installed after the finished water tank and before the filling point, it instantly eliminates residual bacteria and viruses in the water without leaving chemical residues.
• Ozone (O₃) Generator: Maintains long-lasting antimicrobial effects in water through precise ozone concentration control, ensuring product safety during shelf life in bottles.
This system perfectly addresses unstable water sources in certain regions of India, delivering clear and safe finished water to customers.
2. Fully Automated PET Blow-Fill-Seal Integrated Production
Fully Automated Blow Molding Machine: Utilizes a two-step blow molding process to efficiently form PET preforms into bottles. The bottles feature high transparency, uniform wall thickness, and eliminate contamination risks during long-distance transportation.7200BPH Isostatic Filling Machine: Tailored for carbonated/non-carbonated mineral water, it employs isostatic or vacuum filling technology for precise liquid level control and zero dripping. Maintains stable output at 7200 bottles per hour, dynamically synchronized with the blow molding machine.
3. Back-End Packaging Automation
The production line integrates a heat-shrink film packaging machine at its end, which automatically groups finished water bottles, wraps them in film, and shrinks the packaging to form sturdy units. This not only ensures an aesthetically pleasing appearance but also facilitates long-distance transportation and distribution through India's multi-tiered dealer network.Project Implementation and Outcomes
The production line was successfully installed, commissioned, and put into operation at the Indian client's facility during the second quarter of 2024. The equipment not only consistently achieves its rated capacity of 7,200 bottles per hour but, more importantly, the water quality—processed through our 3.5-micron filtration and UV/ozone treatment—has been verified by local testing agencies to fully comply with the stringent standards set by India's Food Safety and Standards Authority (FSSAI) and the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA).Customer Feedback: “Union Machinery didn't just sell us a machine—they genuinely understood our concerns about water safety. Their 3.5-micron filtration and dual sterilization solution has earned us consumer trust in the Indian market.”
