Equipment to create a water workshop. We open the production of sparkling water

Based on surveys of Russian residents, a large percentage of the population uses purchased drinking water, which means that the production of bottled water as a business is gaining momentum. Everyone knows that water is the basis of life and the fact that we eat water is of great importance. On the shelves of shops there is a huge selection of water of various brands, in order to trade any water, you will need a license for bottled water.

On the territory of Russia, before getting into stores, water passes more than one test, and then undergoes additional purification, and only after that it is poured into containers. Some manufacturers put up for sale water, both from natural sources and from the tap, which is also suitable after various manipulations with it.

Before you open this type of activity, you need to learn one truth that no examination can establish the source of the origin of water.

Some business nuances

With the help of an examination, it is possible to establish the presence of minerals in water and microorganisms, but the fact that one water is from the tap and the other from a well, not a single sample can answer one hundred percent. Thanks to modern technologies in the treatment of water, the place of its origin remains a mystery, the water passes through many filters, then it is saturated with various elements, in general, various experiments are carried out. Water can be saturated with silver or gold, salted, vitamins added, in general, as far as anyone has enough imagination.

Before you do this business, you must, of course, calculate the cost of bottled water. The cost of opening the line will be purely individual, it all depends on where the source of drinking water is located, which line will be installed, what container will be used, etc. Of course, the distance from the source of drinking water to the place where the water will be sold will be considered an important factor. In order for this case to be successful, all factors must be taken into account.

How to open a bottled water production?

First of all, you need to find a building where the workshop will be located for, and immediately negotiate with the local water utility and the electricity supplier, these are chains of one link and they must be solved at the same time. The area of ​​the premises where the production will be located must be at least 300 square meters. m, and if you received approval in all instances, then after signing the lease, you can proceed to the analysis of water.

There are a huge number of various laboratories that conduct water analysis, but before giving water for analysis, you need to check for the necessary certificate of this institution, this is the main point, since the examination is not cheap and, based on it, you will receive permission to implement water.

Equipment for the production of drinking water

After the results of the analysis are in hand, it will be possible to decide on the equipment for the production of bottled water. Basically, suppliers offer Chinese-made equipment, and if it is Russian, then the components are still Chinese, while intermediaries give a short warranty period, about 3 months, of course, you can’t go for this type of guarantee. When choosing equipment, the warranty period should be as long as possible, because the minimum cost of the line is at least 300,000 rubles.

Before embarking on any type of activity, you need to draw up a business plan for production. For this purpose, they use both professionals and make up their own. The plan will set out all the costs of this type of business, will indicate its payback period and, of course, monthly or quarterly income.

Those who are going to be engaged in the production of drinking bottled water often ask themselves questions about how to start this business and how much it costs to start the production of bottled water. It is recommended for beginners to start production with ordinary clean drinking water, which is always in price and which is so lacking for everyone, if you succeed, then later you can start carbonating the water, enrich it with various microelements or vitamins, and then you can release a production line for what or your brand. According to the most conservative estimates, the cost of an entrance ticket to this niche is about $120,000. The payback period for a "modest-sized" workshop is from 24 to 36 months. However, if you manage to competently organize production and establish sales, then you can count on " net profit"from $30,000 per year.

Mandatory expenses at the opening of production:

• water bottling line - from $20,000
• drinking water quality certificate - $2,000
• production certification (SES) - $1,500
• rent of a workshop, warehouse and administrative premises (based on 3 months) - $20,000
• salary of employees (3 months) - from $30,000
• furniture, office equipment - $5,000
• overhead costs (contracts with suppliers of water, packaging, electricity) - $ 30,000
• advertising campaign, style development, brand - $3,000
• transport for delivery - "Gazelle" - $8,000

The subtleties of production

It should be noted that in no case should you save on packaging material, filling equipment and, of course, on the product itself. Many try to pour water manually, but, of course, this is not cost-effective, it is better to let the production be small, but mechanized and meet all the requirements. There is a special line that blows bottles from plastic waste, as a result, the bottles do not need to be washed and disinfected, of course, the quality of water filters should not be neglected, they must be selected based on end result water examinations.

And if your water is pure and will serve only for the benefit of the people, then under raised sails your business will reach great heights.

To set up a manufacturing business soft drinks no significant capital investments are required, the production technology is simple and offers wide opportunities for diversifying the range of products. The main part of the capital investment will be the cost of the beverage production line, and it is also necessary to equip a room for its placement, hire service personnel.

Product Features

Mineral water

Traditionally, soft drinks include:

Mineral water can be spring or purified tap water, natural or artificially enriched with trace elements. Mineral water does not contain dyes and various flavoring additives.

Carbonated drinks

Juices can be vegetable, fruit, with a high content of pulp, and juice-containing drinks also belong to this group. This is usually mineral water with the addition of juice. Sweet carbonated types include other soft drinks - fruit drinks, tonics, kvass, soda, and other syrups containing sugar and dyes.

In terms of demand, juices and juice-containing drinks are in first place, sweet carbonated drinks are in second place, and mineral water is in third place. The beverage market is influenced by advertising and consumer sentiment. Recently, there has been a trend towards natural products, so juice is in the first place.

Raw materials for beverage production

Drinking water is the main ingredient of any soft drinks. In second place is sugar and its substitutes. For juices - the main product - fruit or vegetable concentrate, natural syrups, grape must. Other auxiliary ingredients in the production of beverages are:

• food colorings;
• food acids;
• aromatic substances;
• essences;
• essential oils;
• stabilizers;
• sorbitol;
• carbon dioxide.

The recipe and composition of each type of drink is regulated by the relevant standard - GOST or TU.

Process steps

All stages of production are carried out using an automated line for the production of soft drinks and are reduced to the following processes:

• water purification;
• preparation of syrup (sugar or invert);
• receiving color;
• production of blended syrup;
• filtration of syrups;
• carbonation of a drink using carbon dioxide;
• packaging of drinks in containers.

At the first stage, it is necessary to prepare water, purify it, enrich it with microelements, if required by the recipe. Water is purified in a sand filter, this is the first stage of purification (coarse), then a ceramic and candle filter is used. After that, clarified water is obtained, which must be softened, this process takes place in a cationic filter. The process of water disinfection is carried out by heating it. After cooling, the water is ready for further use.

Sugar is also purified from impurities and fed into the syrup brewing machine. Water is added to sugar, and this composition is heated to the boiling point, and kept for 25 minutes. To prevent the release of sugar crystals, the syrup can be inverted in a separate syrup machine. Next, the syrup is sent to the collector - a container for further mixing the ingredients. If juice production is carried out, then the previous processes are omitted, and the juice or concentrate is poured into the collector. At this stage, dyes, flavor stabilizers, vitamin complexes, flavors and other ingredients are added to the future drink, according to the recipe. The finished composition is sent to the tinting container, where it undergoes heat treatment. This is necessary for the complete dissolution of all components and obtaining a homogeneous mass.

The blended syrup passes through the filtering units and is sent to the isobaric spill triblock. With the help of this installation, the finished drink is poured into pre-prepared containers. This completes the technological process and the products are ready for sale.

Automatic equipment

The beverage production line includes the following elements:

The water treatment system is selected depending on which purification scheme is provided, as well as taking into account the degree of contamination and the presence of impurities. The system consists of:

• aerator;
• reagent dispenser;
• installations for the removal of iron;
• installations for water softening and saturation with microelements.

System productivity up to 15 m 3 per hour.

The saturator is designed to carry out the carbonation process, that is, the saturation of water with carbon dioxide. Characteristics:

The automatic bottle blower is designed for self-manufacturing containers. Of course, you can buy ready-made bottles for bottling drinks, it will be very uneconomical, since this product is quite voluminous, and a large supply is needed to ensure an uninterrupted process. Therefore, it is better to include this unit in the beverage production line. With it, you can produce containers of various sizes, from 0.33 to 2 liters. Characteristics:

• voltage - 380 V;
• power - 10 kW;
• blowing pressure - 35 bar;
• productivity - up to 2000 pcs / h;
• dimensions - 1433 * 940 * 1830 mm;
• weight - 1000 kg.

Filling triblocks CIMEC

The machine mechanism for pre-rinsing, filling and closing the bottle is called an isobaric triblock. This unit is an integral part of the production line, it includes:

Specifications:

• productivity - 4000 bottles per hour with a volume of 0.5 l, 2500 pcs / h, with a volume of 1.5 l;
• number of rinsing heads - 14;
• number of taps - 12;
• number of capping heads - 5;
• voltage - 380 V.

The cost of the line depends on the country of origin. Today, many domestic engineering companies offer equipment of various configurations and performance, among them are:

• Resource;
• besteq;
• Agromash;
• Technoindustry.

Water bottling line

The cost of the line for the production of soft drinks of domestic production will be in the range of 2.5 - 4 million rubles.

The cost of the Turkish manufacturer's line is from 8 million, Chinese - 4 - 7 million, Italian - 8 - 9 million. Russian manufacturers offer equipment that is in no way inferior to imported analogues, in addition, they offer adjuster services, year-round service and technical support.

Business features

It is worth noting that when considering starting your own non-alcoholic beverage business, there are a few things to consider.

Firstly, it is desirable to have your own well of artesian water. This will raise the image of the company in the eyes of potential consumers.

Secondly, the scale of production should be at the level of 100 million liters per year modern automated lines in the beverage industry are designed for twice the productivity. And, accordingly, it is necessary to establish sales of products, perhaps you should organize your own branded stores, or conclude contracts with supermarkets.

Thirdly, it is necessary to develop new, original tastes. Consumers actively respond to novelties, if the drink has high taste qualities, then constant demand will be ensured.

Fourthly, it is desirable to focus on the naturalness of the composition, include juices, vitamin tinctures, extracts of immunomodulatory plants in the recipe. Recently, there has been a growing demand for environmentally friendly and natural products with minimal inclusion of dyes and taste stimulants.

Fifth, you need an original trademark, you can come up with a legend associated with an artesian source, as did the company that produces mineral water called "Holy Spring". The Russians reacted to the capacious name and decided that they were purchasing consecrated water with the blessing of the patriarch himself.

Video: Carbonated drinks bottling line

Many businessmen today turn their eyes to the niche for the production of non-alcoholic carbonated drinks. It would seem, what a simple product, but see for yourself how high demand it is on hot days. This attracts those who want to earn money in the production sector. It will not be easy for a novice businessman to organize the production of carbonated soft drinks, because this is a food enterprise that requires a special approach. The scale of the business to launch will depend on the available investment. But in any case, compiling detailed business plan is a top priority task.

Our business valuation:

Starting investments - from 1,000,000 rubles.

Market saturation is high.

The complexity of starting a business is 6/10.

The relevance of the lemonade business

Having planned to launch the production of sparkling water and lemonade, you need to understand that more than 80% of the total volume of products produced is sold in the summer months - from April to September. It is during this period that soft drinks are relevant among consumers. Therefore, it will be difficult for newly opened enterprises in the first year - in winter, most likely, they will have to work at a loss.

No “failures” with production are expected if reliable distribution channels are found in a timely manner (even before the launch of the plant).
A decent performance in Russia is considered to be the productivity of an enterprise up to 150 thousand liters finished product per day. And this, by the way, is absolutely minuscule when compared with such industry giants as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. Of course, it makes no sense to compete with global companies. To begin with, it is better to open a small workshop for the production of lemonade, the products of which can be sold in outlets specific region.

To go straight to large markets sales ( retail chains throughout the country), it is necessary to enlist the support of investors, since the costs here will be in the tens of millions.

And many do it even easier. Given that carbonated soft drinks are in demand only in summer, businessmen open outdoor tents / pavilions in shopping centers / kiosks in parks for the summer season and sell lemonade on tap. The costs here are minimal, but the return can be (with a well-chosen place of implementation) very tangible.

How to start a lemonade business?

Having decided on the scale of production, you can start looking for a place where it, in fact, will be located.

Everything is greatly simplified if a businessman decides to “produce” lemonade right on the spot. All that is required in this case is to find a passable place and purchase equipment for bottling lemonade. There are a lot of options here - parks, areas near shopping centers and cinemas, cafes. Renting a place for a tent in a cafe or mall, will have to give part of the profits to the owner. But as practice shows, income more than covers all rental costs.

Well, if a decision is made to launch your own mini lemonade production plant, you can’t do without running around the authorities. To help the entrepreneur - SanPin 3.2.6.1066-01 "Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for trade organizations and the turnover of food raw materials and food products in them."

What will need to be done:

• issue a health certificate
• form a sole proprietorship or LLC,
• obtain permission from Rospotrebnadzar,
• register with the tax office.

And this is just the beginning. There are a lot of things ahead - renting a room, hiring staff, buying equipment, launching a line.

Technology for the production of non-alcoholic carbonated products

The technology for the production of lemonade and sparkling water is simple - even a person who is far from the food industry will master it. For the manufacture of drinks, the blending method is used. The enterprises have introduced cold, semi-hot or hot blending.

Generally, technology system can be described like this:

• Water preparation.
• Water supply to the syrup boiler.
• Mixing water with wort.
• Feeding the mixture into the blending vessel.
• Sweetening the mixture with syrup.
• Carbonation and cooling of the drink.
• Feeding to the apparatus for bottling lemonade.

The quality of the resulting product is influenced by the ingredients used. Particular attention is paid to water. The main difficulty of starting large enterprise it is precisely to ensure constant access to water of suitable composition.

Large factories have their own artesian wells. This is excellent, by the way. marketing ploy- inform consumers later that the water is obtained from a natural source.

The most suitable option for starting a small workshop is the preliminary purification of tap water. In this case, the lemonade production line should include devices for purifying and enriching the water supplied for processing with microelements.

The recipe of the finished product can be any - food additives and colors allow modern enterprises to produce drinks of various tastes and aromas. To find the right recipes, you should decide on the range of products.

This is what big companies do. During periods of high demand, they rely on the most popular types of lemonades, releasing only them. But in winter, the plant produces the entire product line - only in much smaller quantities.

Having worked on the assortment, you need to immediately look for reliable suppliers of raw materials. Syrup, sugar, dyes and other additives are best purchased from one supplier, as this will reduce total costs for the delivery of components.

Purchase of the necessary equipment

Mini workshop for the production and bottling of lemonade

The equipment of the workshop is the most impressive item of expenditure. But if you open a small kiosk that sells a drink for bottling, then no big expenses are expected, since the apparatus for making lemonade and bottling it, kegs and cold chambers are relatively inexpensive. To launch a street trade in drinks, a maximum of 300,000 rubles will be required.

But to buy equipment for the production of lemonade with a capacity of 5000 l / h, you will have to invest much more money.

The standard line includes the following devices:

• Water treatment system.
• Cauldron for making syrup.
• Containers for storing and mixing components.
• Saturator.
• Filling and packaging system.

The price of equipment for the production of lemonade will depend on many factors - the productivity of the line, the degree of automation and staffing. The minimum cost of the entire line will be at least 1,000,000 rubles. And most of the money will be spent on water preparation devices. Used equipment will cost a little less.

The payback of the lemonade business

How quickly a launched business will pay off will depend on the sales market and the funds invested in advertising. Do not forget that the market is overflowing with offers and it will be difficult to break through.

According to experts, the profitability of the lemonade business is 15-20%.

Don't wait for your investment to return. next year- this is only possible if seasonal trade draft drinks. The mini-plant will reach the break-even point only after 2-5 years.

Drinking water is the most important and vital product on the planet. Without water, a person can live very little, and dehydration inevitably leads to the death of the body.

In the era of rapid industrial growth, the ecology of our planet is rapidly falling into a deplorable state. Accordingly, the quality of water is also deteriorating.

The sources of clean drinking water used by urban residents are polluted and become hazardous to health. The main solution to this problem can be the production of purified water that will meet all sanitary standards.

Almost half of the country's population now buys drinking water in stores, and this number is growing every day. Therefore, it makes sense to build such a “gold mine” in your region and start producing water that is harmless to human health.

Benefits and features of management

This type of production has undeniable advantages that only encourage the creation of a business:

• high payback;
• huge and growing demand for clean water;
• opportunities to expand production.

Creation successful business read the tips on the link.

Of course, such an enterprise has its drawbacks, but with competent organization cases they do not make any weather.

How to draw up a business plan for the production of drinking water, watch the video:

The main disadvantages can be identified:

• a large amount of initial investment for the purchase of expensive equipment;
• constant cooperation with the sanitary and epidemiological station, whose task is to control the quality of the produced water.

Starting a Drinking Water Business

The very first step in organizing a business should be to decide on the type of activity. You can produce and sell drinking water yourself, or you can simply supply the products of another company.

If independent extraction is planned, then it is necessary to decide how the water will be extracted and from where. You can drill a personal well, pour water and sell it, or you can take it from the tap and clean it with heavy-duty and modern taps.

• private entrepreneur certificate;
• permits from the sanitary and epidemiological service and the fire inspection that the equipment meets the required standards;
• company charter;
• a certificate from the SES that the quality of the produced water meets state requirements;
• permission to entrepreneurial activity, for which you will need to provide a lease agreement for equipment and premises, notarized personal data.

Finally, you need to contact the bank and open an account there.

Line for the production of drinking water.

The room for the future workshop should have full access and optimal dimensions. To the building you need to conduct energy, internet and telephone line.

When creating an online store, you need to pay attention to the choice of payment system, the top 6 most reliable systems

It is better if the room is not very old and renovated. Particular attention should be paid to electrical wiring.

The territory must be divided into functional areas: water production, multi-stage purification, bottling, storage. We will also need amenity rooms for workers, where they can have lunch, change clothes, and relax.

Transport for delivery

For fast and timely delivery of drinking bottled water, the client will need vehicle. The most suitable option for this would be a gazelle.

When choosing a car, you should take into account the amount of fuel that it will consume, otherwise the cost item for gasoline may become unprofitable for the entire production.

You can save money on buying a car as follows - submit an advertisement for a driver with the obligatory presence of your own car.

Cleaning and filling equipment

To start production directly, you need to buy or rent equipment:

• for bottling;
• for cleaning (reagent dosing system and aeration system);
• apparatus for the manufacture of containers (bottles), if there is such a plan;
• sterile tanks;
• semi-automatic bottle capping machine;
• ozonator;
• labeling machine.

Production technology

Drinking water production technology can be divided into several stages:

• drilling a well (or extracting water in another way);
• water purification with coal or sand filters;
• balancing minerals;
• disinfection with ultraviolet rays;
• water ozonation;
• bottling.

Purification of main water

There is a way to reduce the cost of drinking water production - tap water purification. The fact is that already pre-purified water flows from city taps, which is passed through municipal filter systems.

Technological process for the production of drinking water. Photo: v0da.com

The convenience of main water is that it does not change its chemical composition in a certain season.

Drinking water is divided into two categories according to its quality:

• first category or table water;
• the highest category.

The second option is the safest for human health and has excellent quality.

The more funds invested in the business and the deeper the penetration of the product on the market, the faster the investment will pay off.

In the country, the normal production volume is 20,000 bottles per month.

In practice, it has been established that with a difference between the cost of buying and selling bottled water of 1-2 dollars, a company must sell from 500 to 1000 bottles per month in order to recoup current expenses.

If the sales level is increased to 2000 bottles, then the initial investment can be returned in 8-12 months.

Drinking water is the basis of human life, so the amount of drinking clean and safe water will only increase every year. This fact only encourages people to produce bottled water and deliver it to the population.

In this business, the main thing is good investments, a well-thought-out organization of the enterprise, and high quality products. As a result, you can get a reliable source of inexhaustible income.

Despite the idea of ​​Russia as a country in which most of the population is constantly under the influence, the domestic market for soft drinks is constantly growing. Currently, its production figures have exceeded 20 billion rubles.

prospects

According to dry statistics, more than 75% of the population drinks carbonated drinks in the summer. Despite the fact that in recent years a large part of consumers prefer to buy juices, the market for carbonated soft drinks is constantly growing.

However, it should be taken into account that high profitability Today, only those industries that can produce really large batches of products can boast.

That is why most of the domestic market belongs to the Coca-Cola Corporation, which is simply unrealistic for many domestic companies to compete with. That's just the cost of "branded" Coca-Cola drinks is such that even in major cities they are not always popular.

Simply put, if you establish the production of soft drinks of normal quality and at an affordable price, you can well count on a profitability of 30-35%.

Marketing problems

As you might have guessed, the main problem for domestic producers in the current situation is the sale of finished products. It often happens that large retailers simply ignore it frankly. The fact is that large chains require a "fee" up to several tens of thousands of dollars for the right to exhibit only one brand on the shelves of their stores.

Accordingly, it is much more profitable to work with wholesalers who are willing to sell products good quality. They work with many stores, so over time you can build a strong reputation and a circle of regular customers.

We do not recommend relying on our own delivery services - the cost of purchasing and maintaining equipment that is suitable for transporting really large batches of products is such that only large retail chains can afford such a “pleasure”.

If you want to create at least small production soft drinks, you will have to prepare for the need to spend at least 15-20 million rubles. All costs will pay off no earlier than in 4-5 years. The fact is that the competition in this market is extremely strong. If there are no funds to deploy an active advertising campaign, then it is pointless to start this business.

Some production features

Consider the main features of the production of soft drinks. The main component of all production is high-quality water. Many domestic manufacturers prefer to use their own artesian wells, trying to attract more buyers by using “artesian water saturated with mineral salts” in their products.

This is not only a publicity stunt: such products, in fact, are tastier. It definitely does not contain chlorine and other substances that are found in abundance in worn-out plumbing systems. By the way, large producers can take water even from the nearest puddle: the technologies they use make it possible to purify it to the state of the key.

Manufacturers throughout the former CIS are also distinguished by the fact that they do not use sugar in the manufacture of soda, like their Western counterparts, but its substitutes. Everything is simple here: a kilogram of a more or less high-quality sweetener is equivalent in taste to 200 kg of natural sugar. Accordingly, the production of soft drinks based on them is much more profitable.

Used container

Whatever it was, another important component of the success of your production is the container. It is easy to guess that more than 70% of cheap domestic lemonade is produced in polymer containers.

It is best to rely on the production of drinks in containers of 0.5-1-1.5 liters, which is most in demand. Moreover, in the summer, the emphasis should be on the production of drinks in bottles of 1.5-2 liters, while in winter period Enough and 0.5 liters. In general, in the cold season, the production of carbonated drinks is expected to fall, and therefore, emphasis should be placed on promotions and other ways to attract buyers.

In addition, in the summer, you can reduce the range to 3-4 of the most popular brands of soda. This approach allows you to guarantee the sale of all the produced quantity of drinks. Keep in mind that the most "hot" season lasts from May to September.

Production technology

One thing that cannot be blamed on the production of soft drinks is the complexity of the process itself. The tanker, 85% filled with treated water, is pumped carbon dioxide under pressure 3-4 atm. Note that the water temperature should not be higher than 4-5 degrees Celsius, since as a result it gains more gas.

Water is driven through conventional filters, the cost of a block of which today is no more than 15-20 thousand rubles. Their throughput is several thousand liters per day, the service life is up to a month.

Important! In no case do not buy cheap carbon dioxide, which is sold in large quantities by factories that produce beer. The fact is that this gas is heavily polluted with microorganisms, and even has a not very pleasant smell. This will not only immediately scare away buyers, but will also serve as a reason for the visit of specialists from the SES.

Colorings, sweeteners and preservatives (in some cases) are also added to the water. After that, it can be bottled.

Equipment for production and its cost

First, you will need a bottle making machine. Of course, you can buy them from third-party manufacturers, but in the end it turns out cheaper. Among other things, the production of lemonade requires a block for bottling water into bottles. Productivity - from 500 bottles per hour.
