500 ml Bottled Water Filling Machine Selection
The 500 ml PET bottle is the published rating basis for the XGF reference table, but the physical bottle drawing, weight, neck finish and cap still control machine compatibility.
Answer first
Choose a 500 ml bottled water filling machine from the required saleable BPH and the approved bottle and cap—not volume alone. Confirm neck handling, bottle stability, cap feeding, guide parts, fill-level method and downstream line balance.
Not suitable for
Boundaries that need a different platform or review
- Assuming every 500 ml bottle uses the same neck, weight, diameter or guide parts
- Carbonated, hot-fill, glass, can or returnable 5-gallon platforms
- Treating a search phrase or nominal BPH as a final machine guarantee
Inputs required
Evidence to provide before confirmation
- 500 ml bottle drawing, physical samples, bottle weight, neck finish and cap sample
- Approved bottle drawing, neck finish, cap drawing and representative samples
- Saleable daily demand, net production hours, efficiency basis and destination
Machine function
What happens at this machine or decision boundary
- The machine carries the 500 ml bottle by the approved neck and guides it through rinsing, filling and capping.
- The rinse-fill-cap platform is reviewed against the approved PET container and still-water process.
- Project engineering confirms the model, components, interfaces and acceptance basis.
Configuration decisions
Options that must appear in the proposal
- Required BPH, accepted bottle family and included format change parts
- Machine-only, machine-plus-interface or complete-line commercial boundary
- Change parts, controls, documents, spares, FAT and service responsibility
Interface requirements
Upstream, downstream and utility handovers
- Empty-bottle stability at infeed and filled-bottle stability at discharge
- Treated product-water, electrical, controls and drainage handovers
- Filled-bottle discharge, downstream accumulation, labeling and packing route
Buyer risks
Questions to close before order
- Approving the machine from bottle volume while ignoring the actual container geometry
- Comparing supplier proposals built on different container or efficiency assumptions
- Leaving exclusions, utilities, installation or acceptance evidence unstated
FAT checks
How to verify the agreed basis
- Use production-representative 500 ml bottles, caps and treated water for the acceptance run.
- Run approved production-representative bottles and caps under a written test method.
- Record output, stops, transfer, fill level, leakage, capping, alarms and open points.
Quotation scope
What the commercial offer should state
- Name the exact approved 500 ml bottle and cap revisions in the proposal.
- Reference output basis, included interfaces, change parts, spares and documents
- FAT, packing, freight, installation, commissioning, exclusions and confirmation items
