Automatic Mineral Water 20 Liter Jar Rinsing Filling Capping Machine

Product overview

Large 20-litre returnable or bulk water jars require a different packaging approach from small water bottles. Their size makes container handling slower, while the cleaning stage becomes especially important before refilling.

The Automatic Mineral Water 20 Liter Jar Rinsing Filling Capping Machine combines three-stage washing, water filling and automatic capping within one monoblock system.

Technogen Enterprise provides this machine as a Manufacturer and Supplier of 20 Liter Jar Rinsing Filling Capping Machine equipment for Tanzania, specifically for mineral-water packaging plants.

The machine delivers approximately 120 jars per hour for 20-litre containers. Loading and unloading of the jar are performed manually, while washing, filling and capping are integrated into the machine sequence.

Jar cleaning is carried out through three washing stages:

• Pure Water Wash
• Normal Recycled Water Wash
• Chlorine Wash

This allows the jar to pass through multiple cleaning media before entering the filling station.

The machine incorporates No Bottle–No Filling, No Bottle–No Rinsing and No Bottle–No Capping controls so that operations are linked to container presence.

After washing, the jar moves to the water-filling station.

Caps are handled automatically through a vibrator bowl, chute and capping-head unit.

The machine body uses PVC-coated AISI 304 construction, while contact parts are manufactured from AISI 316L Stainless Steel.

A special Stainless Steel slant conveyor is incorporated to reduce jar sticking during movement through the machine.

For Tanzania mineral-water producers packaging 20-litre jars, this configuration provides the main washing, filling and capping functions within one relatively compact production unit.

Working principle

• The operator manually loads an empty 20-litre jar into the machine.
• The jar enters the washing section.
• Three sequential cleaning stages are performed:

1. Chlorine Wash
2. Normal Recycled Water Wash
3. Pure Water Wash

• After completion of washing, the jar moves towards the filling station.
• Container-presence logic ensures that filling does not occur when a jar is absent.
• The washed jar is filled with water at the filling station.
• Caps stored in the vibrator bowl are automatically oriented and transferred through the chute towards the capping unit.
• The capping head applies the cap to the filled jar.
• Once the rinsing, filling and capping operations are complete, the finished jar reaches the discharge position.
• Jar unloading is then performed manually.

Applications & industries

The machine is designed specifically for 20-litre mineral-water jar packaging.

Its primary applications include:

• Mineral water bottling plants.
• Packaged drinking water plants using 20-litre jars.
• 20-litre jar washing.
• 20-litre jar filling.
• Automatic jar capping.
• Bulk drinking-water packaging.

The monoblock arrangement is particularly suitable where a plant requires a dedicated 20-litre jar line rather than adapting a conventional small-bottle RFC system.

For Tanzania water businesses supplying large household, office or institutional water containers, the machine provides a dedicated washing, filling and capping solution for the 20-litre format.

Application items

• 20-litre mineral water jar washing.
• 20-litre jar filling.
• 20-litre jar capping.
• Packaged drinking water production.
• Mineral water plant operation.
• Bulk water jar packaging.
• Three-stage jar washing.
• Large-container water filling.
