Methodology: Calculated from a 2026 industry benchmark scenario for a regional water bottler producing 3.5M bottles/year at $6/hour labor cost. Semi-auto lines assume 1,500 BPH each with 2 operators per line per shift × 3 shifts. Q6000 assumes 3,500 sustained BPH with 1 operator per shift × 3 shifts. Energy and maintenance figures scale with line count and CAPEX, respectively. Adjust the inputs above to match your local conditions for a personalized estimate.
