QGF 5 Gallon Water Filling Machine Specifications

A 5 gallon water filling machine washes or rinses a qualified large-format bottle, fills it with treated drinking water and applies the approved cap. The correct machine depends on the actual bottle, return condition, capacity and automation boundary.

Source-backed technical reference

Download the QGF overview and model table

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.

Conflict disclosed: QGF-600, QGF-900 and QGF-1200 are all printed at 800 b/h although their air use, power and weight differ. Do not infer 900 or 1200 b/h from model names.

01

Which QGF model should you shortlist?

For the catalog 18.9L bottle basis, QGF-100 is listed at 60-100 b/h, QGF-240 at 100-240 b/h, QGF-300 at 250-300 b/h and QGF-450 at 400 b/h. Use these entries to start a specification discussion, not to guarantee output on your bottle or washing program. The larger model entries need clarification before selection.

  • The catalog reference bottle is diameter 270 x 490 mm
  • QGF-450 is printed at 400 b/h: its name is not its rate
  • QGF-600, QGF-900 and QGF-1200 each print 800 b/h; obtain corrected configuration-specific data
  • Approve bottle samples, wash sequence and a saleable-output FAT basis before ordering
02

Working logic and equipment modules

A configured machine transfers the bottle through washing or rinsing, drainage, filling and capping. A returnable-bottle line may add inspection, automatic decapping, external brushing, multiple internal wash stages, cap treatment and rejection. A one-way-bottle line can use a simpler preparation route.

  • Bottle transfer and presence sensing
  • Washer or rinse stations
  • Filler and treated-water interface
  • Cap feeder, chute and capper
  • PLC/HMI, guards and maintenance access
03

Configuration choices and trade-offs

More automation can reduce repetitive lifting and manual transfer, but it also adds floor space, controls, maintenance points and capital cost. Deeper washing is justified by bottle condition and the hygiene program, not by a universal number of stations.

  • Manual, assisted or automatic empty-bottle loading
  • Returnable-bottle preparation depth
  • Cap loading and treatment boundary
  • Inspection and leak-testing level
  • Bagging, rack loading or palletizing choice
04

Quote and factory requirements

A useful quote states the bottle and cap basis, reference output, process sequence, included modules, utility schedule, material and component requirements that are actually confirmed, layout, documentation, FAT and service responsibility.

  • Country voltage and frequency
  • Compressed-air availability
  • Wash-water, product-water and drain points
  • Dirty and clean area separation
  • Destination port and installation expectation

Information needed for a quote

FAQ

Short answers, visible boundaries

Project-specific output, hygiene, utilities and service terms belong in the confirmed technical proposal.

What power and air supply do QGF machines require?

The catalog lists motor power from 1.38 to 13.5 kW across the seven references, with 380 V / 50 Hz shown throughout. It lists 0.4-0.6 MPa for the four smaller references and 0.6 MPa for the three larger references. These are catalog values, not the total connected load or utilities of a complete line; request a project-specific connection schedule.

Can the machine fill both 18.9L and 20L bottles?

It may be configured for both, but each bottle and cap must be checked. Five US gallons is approximately 18.9L and must not be treated as identical to 20L.

Does every machine include decapping and outside brushing?

No. Those are returnable-bottle preparation modules and must be listed explicitly in the configuration.

How is capacity selected?

Start with current and future daily sales, net operating hours, efficiency, sanitation time and the speed of upstream and downstream modules.

Machine20L Jar Washing Filling and Capping Machine

A 20L jar washing, filling and capping machine combines the approved jar-cleaning sequence with treated-water filling and cap application. In many markets “jar” means the same large water container that other buyers call a bottle, but the actual 20L sample must be checked separately from an 18.9L / 5 US gallon bottle.

Planning5 Gallon Filling Line Capacity Guide

BPH means bottles per hour, but rated BPH is not the same as daily saleable output. Convert the reference rate through operating hours, expected efficiency, cleaning time and working days before choosing an automation level.

Commercial5 Gallon Water Filling Machine Cost: What Changes the Quote?

A useful 5 gallon water filling machine cost is configuration-based. Required BPH, returnable or one-way bottles, washing depth, automation, end-of-line scope, utilities, destination and service responsibility all change the quote.

GuidesWhat Information Is Needed for a 5 Gallon Filling Line Quote?

A useful quote needs contact and destination, bottle and cap evidence, required output, process modules, factory utilities, project schedule and delivery responsibility. Unknown items can remain open.
