When a new beverage startup in Albania needed a compact bottled water production line to launch before the summer season, they needed more than just a filling machine — they needed a complete, working plant. Here’s how Jndwater delivered a full turnkey 500ml PET bottling solution from water treatment to retail-ready packaging in just 15 days.
Project at a Glance
- Emplacement : Albania
- Bottle Format: 500ml PET
- Sortie : 2,000 – 3,000 BPH
- Installation : 15 Days / 1 Engineer
The Challenge: Launch Fast in a Competitive Market
Albania’s bottled water market is growing fast, and the client — a local entrepreneur entering the beverage industry — needed to move quickly. The requirements were clear:
- A 500ml PET bottle line producing purified drinking water at 2,000-3,000 bottles per hour.
- Minimal factory footprint — the facility was a repurposed warehouse.
- Fast installation — the summer sales window was closing.
- Reliable after-sales support — no local technicians familiar with the machinery.
What Jndwater Delivered: The Full Production Chain
Unlike suppliers who sell machines separately, Jndwater provided a complete bottling ecosystem — every piece of equipment from the raw water inlet to the shrink-wrapped case leaving the factory.
Stage 1: Water Purification
The process begins with a multi-stage RO water treatment system that converts local source water into food-grade purified water. The system includes pre-filtration, reverse osmosis membranes, UV sterilization, and an ozone generator — ensuring the water meets both local and international safety standards before it ever reaches the filling machine.
Stage 2: Bottle Production
A fully automatic PET stretch blow molding machine produces 500ml bottles on-site from preforms. This eliminates the need to purchase pre-made bottles from third-party suppliers, cutting logistics costs and giving the client full control over bottle quality and design.
Stage 3: Filling and Capping
The heart of the line: a 3-in-1 bottled water filling monoblock that rinses, fills, and caps in a single compact frame. Running at 2,000-3,000 BPH with gravity filling technology, the monoblock uses food-grade SUS304 stainless steel contact parts and delivers accurate, drip-free fill levels — critical for consistent 500ml retail bottles.
Stage 4: Labeling and Packaging
Filled bottles pass through a labeling station where the client’s brand labels are applied for retail presentation. Finished bottles are then bundled into retail-ready shrink wrap multipacks — 6-pack and 12-pack configurations — ready for supermarket shelves and convenience stores across Albania.
The 15-Day Installation Timeline
One Jndwater engineer arrived on-site and managed the entire installation personally:
- Days 1–4: Water treatment system installation, piping, and commissioning. Blow molder assembly and mold setup for 500ml PET bottles.
- Days 5–9: Filling monoblock positioning, conveyor connection, utility hookup (power, compressed air, water lines).
- Days 10–13: Labeler and shrink wrapper installation. Full-line dry run and water-only test cycle.
- Days 14–15: Live production run with actual purified water. Speed optimization to target 2,000-3,000 BPH. Operator training and formal handover.
Results: From Delivery to Production in Two Weeks
The line was fully operational within the 15-day window, producing 500ml PET bottled water at the target 2,000-3,000 BPH. The client was able to begin distributing to local retailers within days of commissioning — just in time for the summer demand peak.
- 2,000-3,000 BPH output achieved during commissioning
- Purified water meets local food-safety standards
- Operators trained on daily operation and basic maintenance
- Full documentation package delivered at handover
