Washer and bottle transfer
The transfer should stabilize the large bottle through each wash position and allow controlled drainage. Confirm how the machine responds to missing, misaligned or rejected bottles and how operators access wash zones.
- Bottle holder and transfer geometry
- No-bottle logic
- Wash-zone separation
- Drainage and access
- Changeover parts if multiple formats
Filling control
The filler receives treated water under agreed conditions and fills the approved bottle to the acceptance method defined by the project. Confirm the upstream tank, pump, pipe loop, no-bottle/no-fill logic and cleaning access.
- Treated-water supply conditions
- Filling method to be confirmed
- No-bottle/no-fill
- Fill check at FAT
- Drain and cleaning access
Cap feeding and capping
Caps need an approved feeder, sorter or chute, any selected treatment step, controlled placement and capping. Compatibility depends on the neck and cap rather than the bottle volume label.
- Cap hopper and chute
- Cap treatment if selected
- Missing-cap detection if selected
- Cap pressing or sealing method
- Neck and cap sample approval
Controls, guards and maintenance
Ask for PLC/HMI functions, alarms, interlocks, recipe access, safe stopping, guards and maintainable access. Do not assume electrical brands, stainless grades or remote support features until stated in the quotation.
- Control architecture
- Alarm and reset logic
- Safety guards and stops
- Lubrication and wear parts
- Electrical and pneumatic documents
Information needed for a quote
Send the bottle and cap basis, required BPH, bottle path, factory and utility information, destination and any module or support requirement. Unknown items can remain marked “to be confirmed.”
