Filling Machine Capacity Is More Than BPH
A capacity number is incomplete without the reference bottle, beverage condition and operating assumptions. Separate nominal machine speed from the sustainable output the connected line can repeatedly achieve.

Three output numbers
Rated speed
A model or design reference under stated conditions.
Sustainable output
A repeatedly achievable rate with the confirmed beverage, package and line conditions.
Saleable output
Accepted product after rejects, stops, changeovers and losses.

Capacity inputs
- Reference bottle size and drawing
- Beverage temperature, viscosity and carbonation
- Fill accuracy or level basis
- Changeover pattern and planned downtime
- Upstream supply stability
- Downstream accumulation and packing limits

Capacity review example
| Question | Incomplete answer | Useful answer |
|---|---|---|
| Target output | 10,000 BPH | 10,000 BPH sustainable on 500 ml PET still water after agreed acceptance test |
| Other sizes | Also 1.5 L | State required rate and changeover frequency for each size |
| Line constraint | None | Document blower, labeler, packer and conveyor limits |

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between rated and sustainable output?
Rated speed is a stated machine reference; sustainable output is the repeatedly achievable rate under the confirmed product, package, changeover and connected-line conditions.
