Large-format drinking water systems
Specify the washer, filler and capper around your actual 18.9L bottle, return condition and hourly output. Allot Tech helps you define the core machine, returned-bottle preparation and handling options; 20L compatibility is reviewed separately.

Start with the project facts
These inputs route you to a preliminary process. Final output, hygiene and equipment scope remain subject to technical confirmation.
Choose your bottle path
Start with the way bottles enter and leave the business. This decision changes hygiene, handling, storage, labor and cost.
For delivery businesses collecting bottles from customers. Usually requires inspection, old-cap removal, external cleaning, internal washing, confirmed sanitizing and final rinsing.
For new or single-use large bottles. It usually avoids the deep returned-bottle process but depends on clean packaging supply, controlled feeding and local recycling or disposal.
Machine-first project view
The filling machine is the center, but bottle condition, washing, transfer, utilities and final handling determine the workable system.
Catalog equipment imagery is shown as a real-system reference. Final configuration and supply scope are confirmed per project.
Source-backed technical reference
Read the original equipment overview and parameter table from the Allot Tech Beverage Bottling Catalog 2026, pages 21-22, with a guide to the reference limits and current project contact.
The original 18.9L data is preserved. The repeated 800 b/h entries for QGF-600, QGF-900 and QGF-1200 are flagged for clarification; 20L compatibility requires separate sample approval.
More equipment from the supplied catalog
These images expand the project view without implying that every module belongs in every 5-gallon line. Final process and supply scope remain project-specific.
The workshop image is a catalog manufacturing-network reference. Machine source, inspection, documentation and responsibility are confirmed for the individual project.

Configuration decision routes
Each route resolves a different equipment decision. Follow the one that matches your bottle, output or acceptance question.
Compare catalog capacity, heads, motor power and air requirements before sample approval.
Open planning pageSeparate the core machine, preparation and handling subtotals; download the RFQ worksheet.
Open planning pageChoose the returnable or one-way preparation path from local delivery behavior.
Open planning pageConfirm jar, cap, washing route and JPH on one basis.
Open planning pageConvert BPH to usable output and identify which connected modules must match.
Open planning pageNormalize scope, samples, documents and acceptance before comparing price.
Open planning pagePlan wear items, critical stock and preventive work before handover.
Open planning pageDescribe the constraint before selecting a model. These three problems connect your actual bottle, operating schedule and quotation to evidence the equipment team can review.
Identify the affected bottle and cap lot, neck dimensions, base shape and handle. Send the approved drawing and representative samples, including acceptable returned bottles. Ask for witnessed transfer, nozzle alignment and cap-application checks. Two separately approved formats can require change parts and separate runs; they do not establish random mixed-format operation.
Use accepted bottles and net operating time. For example, 300 bottles/hour × 6 net hours × 0.90 accepted fraction = 1,620 bottles/day. This is a planning example, not a machine promise. Check preparation, cap replenishment and discharge in the connected test, and avoid deducting a break already removed from net hours.
Mark each function included, optional, buyer-supplied or excluded. A washer-filler-capper does not automatically include a decapper, external brusher or final handling. Define tank, pump, connection and signal ownership. Compare FAT, packing, freight, spares and commissioning only after the bottle, returned condition and acceptance method match.
Existing-line replacement guide
Replacing the washer-filler-capper does not automatically require replacing every machine around it. Nor does matching the old machine’s BPH prove that existing equipment can be reused. Start with an as-built survey, identify what will remain, and make approval of each bottle, mechanical, water and control interface a condition of the proposal.

Choose known conditions to outline the process, equipment modules and documents needed for a project-specific quotation.
Complete line process
Use the route to find missing interfaces. It is a conceptual diagram, not a fixed sanitation program.
Not every line needs every module. Final flow depends on bottle condition, required output, local hygiene requirements and the selected configuration.
Select by capacity
Every band needs a confirmed BPH, but buyer needs change as route volume, labor and bottle control mature.
Prioritize a clear hygiene route and safe operator work. Manual or assisted loading may be reasonable when demand is modest and stable.
Add decapping, brushing or conveyors when route growth makes manual preparation inconsistent.
Automation should connect preparation, core filling and final handling at one realistic saleable rate.
High throughput needs stable bottle returns, inspection, cap supply, storage, maintenance and delivery dispatch.
Core machine functions
Each function needs a defined input, operating boundary and acceptance check.
Moves the approved bottle through the confirmed wash or rinse sequence.
Receives treated drinking water and fills under the agreed supply and acceptance basis.
Presents the approved closure in the correct orientation.
Places or presses the cap and supports the selected inspection response.
Coordinates sequence, interlocks, alarms and safe restart as configured.
Stabilizes large bottles between stations and connected equipment.
Allows cleaning and inspection of confirmed process contact areas.
Provides practical service to tanks, pumps, nozzles, drives and controls.
Optional modules
Options change labor, layout, utilities, investment and maintenance. They are not universal requirements.
Bottle hygiene decision center
Returned bottles arrive with different histories. The process should be selected from evidence, and bottles that cannot be safely recovered should leave the line under the plant quality policy.
Inspect the bottle before machine time is spent on it.
02Separate external soil removal from internal washing.
03Adjust the process to actual bottle condition and local requirements.
04Reject severe damage or contamination according to the plant system.
05Remember: equipment cannot replace factory hygiene management.
Machine cell and interfaces
These are required machine inputs, not fixed plant-wide utility promises.
What changes the price?
Machine pricing depends on the agreed process, automation, site interfaces and delivery responsibility.

Loading, conveyors, bagging, racks, palletizing and labor reduction.
Water treatment, power, air, drain, layout and technical requirements.

FAQ
Project-specific output, hygiene, utilities and service terms belong in the confirmed technical proposal.
No. Five US gallons is approximately 18.9L. The site covers both 18.9L and 20L applications, but bottle dimensions and machine compatibility must be confirmed separately.
Possibly, but the two paths need different bottle preparation and may need different handling. Confirm both bottle families, necks, caps and process expectations before ordering.
Start with bottle and cap details, returnable or one-way use, required BPH, operating schedule, existing factory and utilities, destination and desired automation.
No. The supplied catalog contains reference data for an 18.9L basis. Final output and configuration belong in the signed quotation and technical agreement.
