Barrel water line

5 Gallon Water Filling Line

60–2,000 barrels/h

Sold in some markets as a water jar machine or 20 litre line. Add the AGL-12 semi-automatic blow molder to make new 10–25 L PET barrels in-house, and the outside brusher as a 20 liter water bottle washing machine for returned barrels.

  • 5 gallon
  • Returnable barrels
  • Palletizing

Quick answerA 5 gallon water filling line turns treated water into sealed 3 or 5 gallon barrels: decapping, outside brushing, washing, filling and capping, light check, cap shrinking and palletizing. Angel’s QGF lines run from 60 to 2,000 barrels per hour as the 5 gallon water bottling machine at the centre of the plant.
