Working Process
The Semi Automatic Gallon Bottle Water Filling and Capping Machine completes the entire bottling process through five main steps, including bottle sanitizing, water rinsing, filling, cap feeding, and cap pressing. This integrated process helps ensure bottle hygiene, accurate filling, and reliable sealing quality.
Step 1: Sanitizer Rinsing
Empty gallon bottles are first cleaned with sanitizer to remove impurities and improve bottle hygiene before filling.
Step 2: Water Rinsing
After sanitizer cleaning, bottles are rinsed with clean water to remove residual sanitizer and prepare them for safe drinking water filling.
Step 3: Water Filling
Clean bottles are transferred to the filling station, where purified water or mineral water is accurately filled through the filling system.
Step 4: Cap Feeding
After filling, bottle caps are automatically supplied and positioned onto the bottle openings.
Step 5: Cap Pressing
The machine presses the caps securely onto the bottles to complete the sealing process and prevent leakage during storage and transportation.
