Water Bottling Machine Price in Kenya: From Refill Station to Bottling Line
Pictured: HTECH WATER REFILLING STATION (MUNICIPAL WATER) and Bottle Rinser.
Quick answer: A water bottling setup is a chain: treatment (RO/UF + UV), bottle rinsing, filling and capping, then labelling. Many start with a refill station (from about KSh 110,000) and a bottle rinser (about KSh 110,000), then add an RO plant and semi-automatic filling as orders grow. A fully automatic line is a much larger investment.
Key facts
  • Treat → rinse → fill → cap → label
  • Start with a refill station
  • Add a rinser and RO plant
  • Automate as orders grow
