Automatic Drinking Water Bottling Plant: Over a Decade of Expertise in Pure Water

For more than ten years, Metson Machines have been producing packaged drinking water with a single mission: to deliver safe, hygienic, and reliable water to families, businesses, and communities. Over this time, we have watched the industry evolve from small manual setups to high-capacity automatic plants that now define quality and efficiency.

Our automatic drinking water bottling plant is the result of this evolution. With advanced purification technology, precision automation, and sustainable operations, we ensure that every drop reaching our customers is pure, consistent, and trustworthy.

What Is an Automatic Drinking Water Bottling Plant and Why It Matters

An automatic drinking water bottling plant is a facility where raw water undergoes advanced purification and is bottled with minimal human contact. Automation ensures higher hygiene, faster production, and consistent quality that manual methods cannot achieve.

Key Benefits of Automatic Bottling Plants Over Manual Systems

• Consistent product quality across every bottle

• High-speed production for large-scale demand

• Maximum hygiene with minimal human handling

• Lower risk of contamination or operational errors

• Faster return on investment for businesses

How Automatic Drinking Water Bottling Plants Work – Step by Step Process

Over our decade-long journey, we have refined every stage of production to ensure the highest standards of purity and efficiency.

Raw Water Collection and Quality Testing Before Bottling

• Sources: Borewell, municipal supply, or natural water bodies

• Tests Conducted: pH, TDS, hardness, turbidity, microbial load

• Purpose: Ensures purification strategy and compliance with safety standards

Multi-Stage Water Purification for Packaged Drinking Water

Stage	Purpose	Key Benefit
Sand Filtration	Remove sand, silt, dirt	Clear water, protects RO membranes
Activated Carbon Filter	Remove odor, taste, chlorine, organics	Better taste, odor-free water
Reverse Osmosis (RO)	Remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, TDS	Safe, pure water
UV Treatment	Kill bacteria, viruses, protozoa	Microbiologically safe water
Ozonation	Sterilize and preserve freshness	Long shelf life, no chemical residue

PET Bottle Manufacturing and Sterilization Process

• PET blowing machines produce uniform bottles in-house

• Bottles sterilized using disinfectants and UV light

High-Speed Automatic Bottle Filling and Capping System

• Bottles filled at precise volumes

• Automatic capping ensures tight, contamination-free sealing

Labeling, Batch Coding, and Safe Packaging for Distribution

• Branded labels applied for consumer recognition

• Batch numbers and expiry dates printed for traceability

• Carton packing or shrink wrapping ensures safe transport
