Introduction — Why Bottled Water is Booming in Syria

Clean drinking water isn’t always available across Syria. Many households rely on bottled water for everyday use, and demand continues to grow thanks to population recovery, tourism, and increasing hygiene awareness.

Supermarkets, hotels, schools, and offices all require safe bottled water. This growing market makes bottled water production one of the most resilient and profitable industries in Syria.

• Factory-Direct Prices – No agents or middlemen; you buy straight from the manufacturer and save significant costs.

• Rich Experience – Over 20 years specializing in water, beverage, and liquid filling lines, ensuring reliable quality and smooth installation.

• Full Turnkey Service – From design and layout to installation, commissioning, and training, Pestopack handles everything.

In short, Pestopack is not just a supplier — it’s a partner that helps you start your water bottling factory confidently.

Step 1: Understand the Syrian Market

Syria’s bottled water market is rebounding quickly. Consumers value clean, affordable bottled water for health and convenience. The main competition comes from regional brands, but local producers have a strong edge in logistics and pricing.

Market Segments

1. Domestic retail — supermarkets, kiosks, and restaurants.

2. Institutional supply — schools, factories, and government offices.

3. Export opportunities — Lebanon, Iraq, and Jordan are potential future markets.

Bottled Water Preferences

Most consumers prefer:

• 330 ml and 500 ml bottles for on-the-go use

• 1.5 L family packs for home consumption

• Occasionally 19 L gallons for office coolers

This mix defines the bottle molds and production capacity you’ll need.

Step 2: Define Your Factory Capacity and Budget

Production capacity determines your machine size, utilities, and total investment. Think long-term — it’s better to start slightly larger than your current sales volume.

Small Capacity (2 000–4 000 BPH)

Ideal for startups or regional supply. Semi-automatic systems require fewer workers and lower investment.

Medium Capacity (6 000–12 000 BPH)

The sweet spot for most investors. Balanced efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Large Capacity (15 000 BPH and above)

Suitable for national brands and export-oriented factories.

Pestopack can customize any of these configurations with 3D layout drawings and energy calculations.

Step 3: Selecting the Right Location in Syria

Location makes or breaks your success. Choose a site with:

• Reliable water access (well or spring)

• Stable electricity or space for generators

• Good road connectivity to cities and markets

• Safe, industrial zoning for smooth permittingd

Example Regions

• Damascus – Central distribution hub and large population.

• Latakia – Coastal city with port access for importing machinery and materials.

• Aleppo – Strong industrial background and skilled labor availability.

---

Step 4: Test and Treat Your Water

Every successful factory starts with clean water.

Collect raw samples from your source and test for pH, TDS, heavy metals, chlorine, bacteria, and minerals.

If impurities exceed the drinking-water standard, install a Reverse Osmosis (RO) purification system.

Key Components of a Water Treatment System

1. Sand & Carbon Filters – Remove sediments and odor.

2. Softener & Micron Filters – Reduce hardness and fine particles.

3. RO System – Eliminates salts and dissolved solids.

4. UV Sterilizer & Ozone Generator – Destroy microbes before bottling.

Pestopack’s RO units range from 1 T/h to 10 T/h, covering small to industrial-scale plants.

---

Step 5: Design the Factory Layout

A smart layout ensures hygiene and efficiency. Separate your plant into zones:

1. Raw Water & Treatment Area

2. Bottle Blowing Zone

3. Filling & Capping Room (cleanroom, positive pressure)

4. Labeling & Packaging Zone

5. Finished Goods Warehouse

Pestopack’s engineers provide AutoCAD layout drawings to fit your site dimensions and ensure smooth material flow.

Step 6: Choose Bottles, Caps, and Labels

Your packaging defines your brand image.

Most Syrian factories use PET bottles blown from preforms.

Recommended weights:

• 500 ml – 12–14 g

• 1.5 L – 25–28 g

Use 28 mm or 30/25 mm caps for standard necks.

Labels can be shrink sleeves, OPP hot-melt, or adhesive stickers — Pestopack provides machines for all three.

Step 7: Purchase a Complete Bottling Line

This is where Pestopack Machinery truly shines. They manufacture complete water bottling lines, from treatment to packaging.

Semi-Automatic Line (2 000–4 000 BPH)

• Semi-auto blow molding machine (2–4 cavities)

• Automatic 3-in-1 rinsing-filling-capping machine

• Semi-auto sleeve labeler with steam tunnel

• Manual or semi-auto shrink wrapper

• Laser coder and stainless-steel conveyors

Low investment and easy maintenance — perfect for startups.

Fully Automatic Line (6 000–12 000 BPH)

• Automatic 6-cavity blow molder with preform heater

• 18-18-6 RFC Monoblock with Siemens PLC

• Rotary OPP labeler or PS sleeve labeler

• Automatic PE film bundler + palletizer

• Full stainless-steel conveyors with frequency drives

Pestopack’s 18-18-6 Plus and 24-24-8 Plus models are globally recognized for efficiency, low energy use, and precise filling.

Step 8: Production Process in Detail

• Raw Water Treatment – Removes impurities.

• Bottle Blowing – PET preforms heated and blown into shape.

• Rinsing – Bottles sterilized with filtered water.

• Filling – High-speed, no-contact filling valves.

• Capping – Automatic cap feeding and sealing.

• Labeling & Coding – Apply labels and laser-print batch info.

• Packaging – Shrink wrap into bundles for easy transport.

• Quality Check – Random inspection of seals, torque, and clarity.

---

Step 9: Legal Licenses and Approvals in Syria

Before production, you’ll need:

• Industrial License from the Ministry of Industry.

• Health Certificate verifying water quality.

• Environmental Approval for wastewater disposal.

• Label Registration under Arabic labeling standards.

Labels must include source, treatment method, production date, and expiry.
