Mineral Water Plant Setup and Expert Advice
Mineral water starts with the source. We help you assess it, plan a plant that protects its character and meet the standards for natural mineral water.
Start with the source
Natural mineral water is defined by its source, so the decisions are different from packaged drinking water. Source assessment, protection, permitted treatment, bottling hygiene and labelling all need to be planned together before machinery is chosen.
Typical projects

Mineral water questions
How is mineral water different from packaged drinking water?
Natural mineral water comes from a specific protected source and has its own standards. Packaged drinking water can be treated from other sources. The difference affects treatment, testing and labelling.
Can we convert a packaged drinking water plant?
In many cases, yes. It depends on the source, the treatment you use today and the standards that apply. We assess it before you commit.
Which approvals apply to mineral water?
Mineral water has its own product standard and certification requirements. Requirements change from time to time, so we verify them for your project.
Glass or PET?
It depends on your market and price point. Glass suits premium HoReCa channels; PET suits wider retail. We compare both on cost and margin.
