Planning tool / reference-bottle warning

Water Filling Machine Capacity Planner

Translate the daily sales plan into preliminary nominal BPH, then ask suppliers to state which bottle and operating conditions support their rating.

Use the same planning basis for every supplier

Required nominal BPH = daily bottles ÷ working hours ÷ expected operating efficiency × reserve factor.

Use realistic net production hours
Keep efficiency below 100%
Add reserve for growth and short stops
Name the reference bottle

Also check water volume

Finished-water volume per hour helps test whether upstream treatment and storage can support the filling target.

Bottle volume × nominal BPH
Tank and pump interface
Upstream treatment capacity
Downstream labeling and packing capacity

Rated versus practical output

Practical saleable output can be constrained by bottle supply, caps, changeovers, cleaning, stops and downstream accumulation.

Reference bottle is missing. Final machine output cannot be compared yet.

Carry result to RFQ

This calculation is for preliminary planning only. Final machine output must be confirmed against the actual bottle, cap, machine layout and upstream/downstream equipment.
