Beverage & Bottling — Complete Packaging Solutions from China

Beverage bottling is where Chinese machinery is most price-competitive: rinse-fill-cap (RFC) monoblocks for bottled water start around $15,000–30,000 for 2,000–3,000 BPH, a fraction of Western equivalents. The same architecture extends to juice (hot-fill), tea, dairy, edible oil and viscous sauces, with filling valves and CIP options adapted per product.

Line planning matters more than the filler itself: capacities must step up from rinsing through capping to labeling and packing so no machine starves the next. Reputable suppliers provide a full line layout with a capacity balance table — ask for it in writing, and check that one party takes integration responsibility.

Recommended Machine Combination

Small RFC lines: 2,000–4,000 BPH; mid-size: 6,000–12,000 BPH; large: 15,000–36,000 BPH.

What to Specify Before Requesting Quotes

• Product: still/sparkling, hot-fill requirement, pulp content, viscosity
• Bottle: PET or glass, volumes (e.g. 330ml–2L), cap type and neck finish
• Target speed in bottles per hour (BPH) and bottles per shift
• Label type and position; shrink sleeve vs self-adhesive vs OPP
• Water/electric/air utilities at your site — line utilities must match

Send product samples (or photos and specs) with your inquiry — factories quote more accurately and more competitively against real samples. The full-line supplier directory lists factories covering multiple machine categories, which simplifies single-party line integration.
