900B/H 5 Gallon Filling Production Line with Auto Stacker Shipped To Argentina

Recently, we have customized 900B/H 5 gallon filling production line with auto stacker for our clients and shipped it to Argentina.

This 5 Gallon Water Filling Machine specially produces 3&5 gallons barreled drinking water. It has features of complete functional, novel design, and high degree of automation. It is a new kind of barreled water auto-producing line, which integrates mechanism, electricity and pneumatic technologies together.

This 5 gallon water filling machine can automatically carry out bottle washing, sterilizing, filling, capping, counting and products discharging.

Zhangjiagang Kpro Machine Co., Ltd. celebrates another milestone in its mission to equip the global beverage industry with robust and intelligent machinery. A custom-engineered 900 Bottles-per-Hour (900B/H) 5 Gallon Filling Production Line, complete with an innovative Auto Stacker, has been successfully commissioned and shipped to a leading water purification company in Argentina. This project underscores Kpro's deep understanding of the specific needs of the bulk water packaging sector and its capability to deliver complete, turnkey solutions for key markets in South America and beyond.

Addressing the Core Demands of the 5-Gallon Water Market

The 3-gallon and 5-gallon bottled water market, serving the home and office delivery (HOD) segment, is characterized by its emphasis on hygiene, durability, and operational efficiency. Manual handling poses significant risks of contamination and physical strain on workers. Kpro's newly shipped line is engineered to directly address these challenges. It is a fully integrated, automated system that transforms empty, returned bottles into sealed, sanitized, and palletized products ready for distribution, with minimal human intervention.

A Step-by-Step Journey Through the Automated Process

This line is a masterpiece of integrated technology, combining mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems to achieve a high degree of automation.

Automatic Bottle Unloading & Sorting: Returned bottles are fed into the line and automatically sorted and positioned.

Multi-Stage Washing & Sterilizing: This is the first critical stage. The bottle washer is not a simple rinse; it's a comprehensive sanitization unit. It features:

Multiple Liquid Injections: High-pressure jets of purified water and disinfectant (such as ozone-peroxided water or chlorine-based solutions) are sprayed inside and outside the bottle.

Recirculation System: The washing solutions are filtered and recirculated, making the process both effective and environmentally conscious by reducing water consumption.

Draining and Drying: After washing, bottles are thoroughly drained to prevent dilution of the final product.

Aseptic Filling: The cleaned bottles are conveyed to the filling carousel. The filling valves are designed for gentle, laminar flow filling to prevent turbulence and aerosol generation, which could introduce air and bacteria. The fill level is controlled with pinpoint accuracy.

Cap Sterilization and Sealing: In a parallel process, the caps undergo their own hygienic treatment. A dedicated water spraying (or sterilant mist) device ensures the caps are completely aseptic before they are placed and securely tightened onto the filled bottles. This dual-sanitization approach (bottle and cap) is crucial for ensuring product safety and extending shelf-life.

Automatic Capping and Code Dating: The cap is applied and tightened to a pre-set torque. An inkjet printer then applies the production date and batch code.

Auto Stacking: The Final Touch in Automation: The newly filled and capped bottles then move to the crowning glory of this line—the Auto Stacker. This robotized arm systematically picks up the heavy 5-gallon bottles and places them onto pallets in a pre-determined, stable pattern. This innovation:

Eliminates Manual Labor: It removes the most physically demanding task from the workforce, enhancing worker safety and satisfaction.

Increases Speed and Consistency: The auto stacker operates at a constant, high speed, perfectly aligning with the 900B/H output.

Reduces Product Damage: Automated handling minimizes the risk of dropping and cracking bottles, which is common with manual stacking.

The Kpro Advantage: Beyond the Machine

This shipment to Argentina is a testament to Kpro's global service model. The company doesn't just sell machines; it builds partnerships. Prior to shipment, Kpro's engineers worked closely with the Argentinian client to understand their local water quality, the specific dimensions of their bottles and caps, and their factory layout. The inclusion of the auto stacker was a direct result of this collaboration, addressing the client's need to optimize their warehouse space and logistics.

This project mirrors the success Kpro has achieved in other international markets, from the Middle East to Africa, where reliable and high-capacity HOD solutions are in high demand. By attending major exhibitions like Canton Fair and PROPAK, Kpro stays abreast of global trends, which it then incorporates into its design, ensuring that clients in growth markets receive world-class technology.

Conclusion: A Foundation for Growth in Argentina

The successful deployment of this 900B/H 5 Gallon Filling Line in Argentina is more than a single sale; it is the strengthening of a strategic partnership. It provides the Argentinian client with a tangible competitive edge through superior aseptic guarantees, significantly lower labor costs, and dramatically increased output. For Kpro, it reaffirms its position as a professional manufacturer capable of delivering complex, automated solutions that meet the rigorous demands of the international beverage industry. This project stands as a powerful case study for other producers in the region looking to modernize their operations and secure a leading position in the profitable HOD water market.

In order to achieve the purpose of washing and sterilizing, bottle washer adopts multiple liquid injections washing and disinfectant spray, and washing solution can be used circularly.  Our 5 gallon water filling machine also equips with water spraying device to sterilize caps of bottles in order to ensure those caps are aseptic and healthy.
