Product Description
The QGF 3-5 gallon bottled water filling machine is a fully automatic production line built specifically for 3 gallon and 5 gallon barreled drinking water. It combines bottle washing, filling, and capping into a single integrated system, making it an ideal solution for mineral water, distilled water, and purified water producers who need reliable, high-volume output.
Every QGF barrel filling line is constructed from food-grade stainless steel, offering strong corrosion resistance and easy cleaning for long-term hygienic operation. The machine uses a 12-step rinsing procedure (including alkali washing, recycle water washing, and disinfectant washing) to ensure each returned bottle is thoroughly cleaned and sterilized before refilling.
With a compact structure and small footprint, this automatic 5 gallon water filling machine requires only two operators to run the entire line. Core electrical components come from Siemens, while the pneumatic system uses AirTAC, two globally recognized brands that keep the equipment stable, precise, and easy to maintain over years of continuous production.

Applications
The QGF barreled water production line is designed for producers who need consistent output across different bottled water categories, including:
Drinking water plants producing standard 3-5 gallon barrels for household or office delivery
Pure water and purified water facilities requiring hygienic no-touch filling
Mineral water and spring water bottlers needing a corrosion-resistant, food-grade filling system
Distilled water manufacturers looking for a fully automated line with minimal manual labor
Whether you are setting up a new bottled water plant or upgrading an existing production line, the 450-1200 BPH capacity range allows you to select a model that matches your current output needs, with room to scale as your business grows.
Why Choose the QGF Filling Line
Hygienic by Design.
The 12-step rinsing procedure combined with SUS304/316 stainless steel contact parts keeps every barrel clean and sterile before filling.
Reliable Global Components.
Siemens electrical systems and AirTAC pneumatics are chosen by manufacturers worldwide for their durability and low failure rate.
Low Labor Requirement.
A fully automatic process from washing to discharge means one production line can run with just two operators, reducing long-term labor costs.
Flexible Capacity Options.
From the compact QGF-120 to the high-output QGF-900, this 3-5 gallon filling machine series scales to match your production targets without redesigning your plant layout.
FAQ
What bottle sizes does the QGF machine support?
The QGF series is built specifically for 3 gallon and 5 gallon barrels, with a bottle diameter around φ276×496mm on standard models.
How does the rinsing system sterilize returned bottles?
The line runs bottles through a 12-step washing cycle, including alkali washing, recycle water rinsing, and disinfectant water washing, before the final rinse and filling stage.
Is the filling process contact-free?
Yes. The QGF filling machine uses gravity filling technology, which fills bottles without nozzle contact, reducing contamination risk.
How many workers are needed to operate the line?
Typically only 2 operators are required to run one complete QGF production line, from bottle loading to finished product discharge.
Which capacity model is right for my plant?
Capacity ranges from 60-120 BPH (QGF-120) up to 900-1200 BPH on larger models. Smaller plants or startups often begin with QGF-120 or QGF-300, while established bottlers typically choose QGF-450 and above.
