Introduction
Starting a bottled water business or managing a small production line means finding equipment that fits your budget, space, and quality needs. The 12,000 bottles-per-hour (BPH) Blow-Fill-Cap (BFC) machine combines bottle blowing, filling, and capping into one streamlined system. It’s compact, efficient, and ideal for smaller operations.
Why a 12,000 BPH Line Works Well for Small Projects
✔ Cost-Effective Investment
This system usually costs between $200,000 and $400,000 — affordable for startups and small businesses while still offering automation and quality.
✔ Compact Footprint Saves Space
The linear design combines all steps and requires about 200 to 300 square meters, perfect for rented or shared factory spaces, especially in emerging markets.
✔ Energy Efficient
With servo motors and optimized pneumatics, these machines can reduce energy use by up to 25–30%, which helps control operating costs.
✔ Built for Hygiene and Safety
Made from food-grade stainless steel (SUS304) and designed for easy cleaning (CIP), they meet strict hygiene standards to keep water safe.
✔ User-Friendly Operation and Maintenance
Servo controls synchronize processes smoothly. The machine is easy to operate and maintain, with quick training and minimal downtime.
