Cost and profit analysis of a bottled water facility in depth

To establish a pure water or mineral water plant, as well as factory conditions, particular manufacturing equipment must be put in place depending on the demands of the customer.

A competent bottled water plant producer can guarantee the quality and quantity of water generated as well as the regularity of operation.

Bottled water plants therefore need more time and attention in terms of planning, funding, and cost analysis. The profits of 500ml pure mineral bottled water plants and 5 gallon mineral bottles water plant are summarized as follows by iBottling.

ATTENTION!

Note that the following computations are performed in RMB. The calculation process is identical regardless of the currency unit used. Furthermore, because the price of machines and raw materials vary, the data below is for reference only.

Cost Analysis of 5 gallon bottled water plant

Assuming you’re making 200 bottles each day, the direct manufacturing cost per bottle is as shown:

Electricity fee2.2KW/hour × 12hours/day × 0.60yuan/KW15.8 RMB/day

Benefit Analysis of 5 gallon bottled water plant

Based on this calculation, it only takes two months to recover the full investment.

Since the production and sales quantity of barreled (bottled) water increased dramatically in the first few months, it will rise gradually after a few months, and the production and sales quantity will continue to rise inversely related.

The lower the total running cost, the greater the production and sales. In fact, most pure water plants can produce and sell around 200 barrels of pure water each day after a month of operation. Within two months, the whole investment in bottled water may be recouped.

Since the actual situation in each region is different, the sales price of bottled water is also different.

The annual profit is 150,000-300,000 RMB, which can be achieved by ordinary pure water plants.

From an investment standpoint, pure water plant is a typical investment project with less money, quick impact, and a high return.

Requirements for site environment, personnel and water source

It is required to have a workshop of about 100-150 square meters, which including

  • Production workshop,
  • Filling workshop,
  • Finished product workshop,
  • Empty barrel (bottle) storage workshop,
  • And laboratory.
  • Right power supply is required.

The health station has verified that the operator is free of infectious diseases and has a valid health certificate.

There is municipal tap water. If groundwater is utilized, no “three wastes” pollution sources exist around the intake point.

Equipment configuration and production related licensing requirements

The basic requirements of equipment configuration are as follows:

stainless raw water tank

Store raw water for precipitating large sediment particles and other precipitable substances in water. At the same time, the impact of unstable water pressure in the raw water pipe on the water treatment system is buffered. (e.g. pressure sensor response caused by too low or too high water pressure)

water tank

The reverse osmosis device uses sufficient pressure to separate the solvent (usually water) in the solution through the reverse osmosis membrane (or semi-permeable membrane), because this process is opposite to the direction of natural osmosis, so it is called reverse osmosis. The reverse osmosis method can adapt to all kinds of raw water with salt content, especially in water treatment projects with high salt content, and can obtain good technical and economic benefits. The desalination rate of the reverse osmosis method is improved, the recovery rate is high, the operation is stable, the floor space is small, and the operation is simple. The reverse osmosis equipment also removes most of the bacteria, colloids and large molecular weight organics while removing the salt.

ultraviolet lamp sterilizer

The working principle of UV germicidal lamps for water treatment is that only artificial mercury (alloy) light sources can output sufficient UVC intensity for engineering disinfection. The ultraviolet germicidal lamp is made of quartz glass. The mercury lamp is divided into low-pressure low-intensity mercury lamp, medium-pressure high-intensity mercury lamp and There are three types of low-pressure high-intensity mercury lamps.

ultraviolet lamp sterilizer

It is used for the production of various juices, fruit wines, mineral water, purified water and other still drinks in polyester bottles. It can realize rinsing, filling and capping in one machine.

Bottled water filling machine

The bottled water filling machine is a fully automatic filling equipment for pure water plants or mineral water plants for filling 3-gallon and 5-gallon buckets. The equipment is simple to operate and only needs 1-2 workers to operate. Disinfection, rinsing, capping, capping and sending are all in one, and are widely used in towns, industrial and mining enterprises and individual units.
