1.Fully Automatic Label Cutting and Cap Removal Machine

BG Series Fully Automatic Cap Removal Machine

The BG Series Fully Automatic Cap Removal Machine is a supporting piece of equipment specially designed for 3-5 gallon bottled drinking water production lines. It is particularly suitable for automatically removing caps from returned water bottles before the bottle washing process.

By automating the cap removal process, the machine can significantly improve labor efficiency, reduce the risk of secondary contamination caused by manual cap removal, and reduce the physical workload of operators.

The machine is constructed entirely from high-quality stainless steel, providing good corrosion resistance and making it easy to clean and maintain. The main electrical components are sourced from internationally recognized manufacturers, while the pneumatic components are supplied by Airtac, Taiwan.

With a compact structure, high working efficiency, stable and reliable operation, and a high degree of automation, the BG Series machine integrates mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems into one automatic unit. It is an ideal supporting machine for 3-5 gallon bottled water production lines.

Main Configuration

2.Automatic External Bottle Brushing Machine

Working Principle

The bottle is conveyed into the external bottle brushing machine by the conveyor belt and comes into close contact with the main rotating brush. The main rotating brush rotates in the opposite direction to the bottle's traveling direction, while the bottom rotating brush rotates in the opposite direction to the main brush.

Driven by the rotary wheel, the bottle performs a combined orbital and rotational movement, completing approximately one revolution around the machine and four rotations on its own axis. During the cleaning process, the rinsing water pump continuously sprays water or cleaning solution onto the brushes.

The used water or cleaning solution is collected by the water collection tray at the bottom of the machine and flows into the cleaning solution tank for circulation and reuse. This design helps reduce water consumption while maintaining a continuous cleaning process.

After completing approximately 270° of orbital movement inside the external bottle brushing machine, the bottle enters the spray chamber. It is thoroughly rinsed by spray water or cleaning solution and then discharged from the machine by the conveyor belt.

The spray water or cleaning solution used in the spray chamber is supplied by the same rinsing water pump. After spraying, the liquid is collected by the lower water collection tray and returned to the same cleaning water tank for circulation and reuse.

3.QGF-150 Fully Automatic Linear Washing, Filling and Capping Machine

The QGF-150 Bottled Water Production Line is a core piece of equipment specially designed for 5-gallon bottled drinking water production. It is suitable for the production of purified water and mineral water.

The machine integrates bottle washing, filling, and capping into one unit. It uses a pneumatic cylinder for cap pressing and is equipped with a heating system for the alkaline cleaning solution. The internal and external bottle-washing nozzles feature a specialized design to improve the cleaning process.

With a compact structure, high working efficiency, stable and reliable operation, and responsive and accurate movements, the machine provides a high level of automation. It integrates mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems into one fully automatic unit and is designed as a core machine for 5-Gallon Bottled Water Production Lines.

Main Technical Parameters

Washing Process

The QGF-150 uses a multi-stage bottle washing process. The five effective washing stations are designed to provide different treatment stages before the bottle reaches the filling section.

1. Hot Alkaline Solution Washing: The bottle is washed with heated alkaline cleaning solution to help remove dirt and residues.

2. Acid Solution Washing: An acid cleaning stage is used according to the process requirements.

3. Disinfectant Rinsing: A disinfectant solution is used as part of the bottle cleaning process.

4. Purified Water Rinsing: The bottle is rinsed with purified water before filling.

5. Filling: After completing the washing stages, the cleaned bottle enters the filling operation.

The standard washing time for each stage is approximately 15 seconds. The washing time can be automatically adjusted according to the actual production requirements.

Water and Energy Requirements

The QGF-150 has a maximum power consumption of approximately 9 kW. The filling section requires approximately 3 m³/h of water, while the bottle-washing process uses approximately 1–2 m³/h, depending on the operating conditions and cleaning process.

Actual water and energy consumption may vary according to washing time, operating schedule, water quality, cleaning solution settings, and production conditions.

Equipment Configuration

The machine frame is constructed from 50 × 50 × 2 mm 304 stainless steel square tubes, while the main sheet metal components use 1.2–2.5 mm thick 304 stainless steel.

The electrical control system uses a Siemens PLC. Autonics photoelectric sensors are used for detection, while Airtac pneumatic components are used for the machine's air-driven operations. This combination provides coordinated control of the washing, filling, and capping processes.

Typical Application

The QGF-150 5-Gallon Washing, Filling and Capping Machine is suitable for bottled drinking water plants producing purified water or mineral water in 5-gallon containers. It can be integrated with bottle cap removal machines, external bottle brushing machines, conveyors, labeling equipment, and other supporting equipment to form a complete 5-gallon bottled water production line.

For a complete 150 BPH 5-Gallon Bottled Water Production Line, the QGF-150 can serve as the core washing, filling, and capping unit, with upstream and downstream equipment configured according to the customer's production capacity, bottle specifications, factory layout, water quality, and automation requirements.

4.Bottle Light Inspection Unit

The light inspection box is equipped with a stainless steel protective cover and provides comfortable and suitable illumination for bottle inspection. It is designed to meet applicable sanitary requirements while allowing operators to clearly inspect the inside and outside of the bottle for impurities, defects, particles, and other visible contaminants.

The unit uses a bright and wide LED inspection screen, providing clear illumination for visual inspection of 5-gallon water bottles.

Main Technical Specifications

The Bottle Light Inspection Unit can be installed as an inspection station in a 5-gallon bottled water production line, helping operators visually check bottles before or after the relevant cleaning and filling processes.

5.Steam Shrink Capping Machine

The steam shrink capping machine features continuously adjustable temperature control, making it suitable for various types of heat-shrink films. The heating temperature can be adjusted according to different production speeds and packaging requirements. It uses high-temperature-resistant materials with good heat insulation performance, helping reduce heat loss and energy consumption.

Main Technical Specifications

The machine can be integrated into a bottled water production line to provide stable heat-shrink sealing for bottle caps. Its adjustable temperature and speed adaptability make it suitable for different production conditions and heat-shrink film specifications.
