Tool / daily output to preliminary BPH
Bottled Water Filling Machine Capacity and Model Selection
Required BPH should be calculated from saleable daily demand and realistic net production time, not chosen from a supplier table in isolation.
Answer first
Enter daily saleable bottles, net operating hours, planning efficiency and growth reserve. The result is a preliminary machine requirement. The final model still depends on the reference bottle, larger-format speed, cap, line balance and FAT method.
Selection gates / calculated need to reference band
Do not jump from one BPH number directly to a model
Pass the calculated requirement through format, reserve, footprint and acceptance gates before choosing a catalog reference.
| Selection gate | Question to close | Result carried forward |
|---|---|---|
| Required output | What saleable BPH and calculation assumptions are approved? | Controlled demand basis |
| Bottle basis | Which SKU defines the reference and which may derate it? | Format schedule and samples |
| Reference band | Which published 500 ml band is at or above the requirement? | Preliminary XGF comparison |
| Operational reserve | Is the margin defensible without double-counting? | Buyer-approved reserve case |
| Physical fit | Do dimensions, access and interfaces suit the site? | Layout and handover actions |
| Acceptance | How will project output be confirmed? | Written FAT basis |
Reference values require project-specific confirmation. The selector identifies a preliminary band; it does not issue a performance guarantee.
Capacity planning
Water filling machine capacity calculator
Required BPH = daily saleable bottles ÷ (net hours × remaining efficiency) × growth factor.
Subtract planned breaks and changeovers from hours first. Efficiency covers only losses not already deducted. Count each loss once; 500 ml catalog ratings do not establish the speed of another bottle format.

Not suitable for
Boundaries that need a different platform or review
- Guaranteeing a production schedule without line-balance data
- Applying the selected reference to every bottle size
- Publishing an invented model below the catalog family
Inputs required
Evidence to provide before confirmation
- Daily saleable bottle target
- Net operating hours after planned stops
- Planning efficiency as a decimal or percentage
- Growth reserve and main bottle volume
Machine function
What happens at this machine or decision boundary
- Required BPH equals daily bottles divided by net hours and planning efficiency, multiplied by growth reserve.
- The selector finds the first published reference at or above the preliminary requirement.
- The output separates catalog reference from engineering confirmation.
Configuration decisions
Options that must appear in the proposal
- Practical operating hours and efficiency
- Reserve for demand growth and stoppages
- Main bottle used for the published rating
- Whether a higher band is needed for line balance
Interface requirements
Upstream, downstream and utility handovers
- Upstream bottle supply must sustain the selected rate.
- Treated-water delivery must support the required product flow.
- Downstream labeling and packing must not become the limiting machine.
Buyer risks
Questions to close before order
- Using scheduled hours instead of net production hours
- Ignoring larger-bottle or changeover losses
- Selecting by nominal speed without checking connected equipment
FAT checks
How to verify the agreed basis
- Use the agreed reference bottle and cap.
- Record continuous running time, stops and saleable output.
- Separate machine-caused losses from external starvation or blockage.
Quotation scope
What the commercial offer should state
- Daily demand and calculation basis
- Reference container and model band
- Guaranteed or acceptance output wording
- Interface responsibilities and FAT method
