Mineral Water Business Machines

Have you ever wanted to get into mineral water business? Water is one of the essentials of life which means that everyday people have to consume water. Getting into mineral water business you are assured of daily clients. It is one of the most profitable businesses you can venture into. In this post, we shall discuss the requirements and the mineral water business machines you require.

Mineral water business machines you require before venturing

Water purifier

A water purifier is an optional equipment for this business. You can opt to buy already purified water but the disadvantage is that it is more expensive than water you purify on your own. In the long run you realize that having your own water purifier is more beneficial for your business because you will end up recouping all the investment on the water purifier. So it is highly advisable that you invest in your own water purifier. The purifier should be able to purify water from different sources like borehole, river well etc.

Purified water storage tanks

Purified water storage tanks are very essential in this business. They will help you to always have enough stock of water to meet your sales needs. They also enhance efficiency by utilizing manpower efficiently. For example you can have specified times of purifying water and specified times of packaging, labeling and dispatching the market. Storage tanks also help you to have enough stock to sell even when you are not able to operate the purifier due to power outage.

Water station with taps

A water station with taps is another necessity in mineral water business because it greatly improves the efficiency of your operations. We recommend you have a water station with a minimum of four taps so that you can be able to quickly fill up the bottles especially the small quantity bottles that are to be delivered to the market. The fewer the taps the more it takes to fill them up and the reverse is true.

Packaging benches

These are very helpful when you are parking, and labelling your water. They help you have a good working area for capping, sealing and sticking the water labels on the bottles.

Hot air gun/sealing machine

A hot air gun/sealing machine helps you to stick the seals on the water bottles that are to be dispatched to the market. It also helps you to be able to wrap the bottles in packs of either 6, 12 or 24 bottles.

Different size empty plastic bottles with caps

The other important thing to have in place before hand is bottles that you are going to use to pack the water in. This depends with which water bottles you are targeting to sell. Normally they range between 500ml, 1l, 1.5l, 5l and 10l. The most common sizes are the 500ml bottles then followed by the 1l bottles. These are the ones that you will need to buy in large quantities.

Branded bottle stickers

You can have these designed, printed and delivered to your business premises so that you can use them on demand. Just like the bottle sizes, you can have the 500ml and 1 litre printed in larger quantities.

Business license, permit & KRA stickers

Some of the most important requirement is this business are licenses and permits for operating this type of business. These ones can be gotten from you are local county offices. You will also need the KRA stickers for the retail market. It is a requirement for every bottle of packed water to have a KRA sticker that can be scanned to ensure the manufacturers pay the taxes.

Food handling permit

A food handling permit is very important for each and every individual who works on this business. This is because the water is for human consumption which is regarded as food and therefore one must be medically fit and hygienically tested to ensure that they can handle food for human consumption.
