Wahaha has kept expanding its beverage portfolio around healthier consumer demand. As sugar-free and low-calorie sparkling drinks gained momentum, the group needed production capacity that could move quickly between packaged water and carbonated soft drinks.
sznewcrown delivered a 48,000 BPH integrated water and CSD combiblock that helped support this shift. The project combined blowing, filling and mixing capability in one line so the plant could switch between categories with tighter commissioning time and better operating consistency.
From an engineering perspective, the line relied on servo stretching in the blowing section, mass-flowmeter filling, and a new-generation flowmeter mixer. That combination improved changeover efficiency, filling accuracy, and carbon dioxide mixing quality for sparkling products.
The same compatibility logic mattered again when sznewcrown later supplied a 30,000 BPH integrated line to Wahaha's Lhasa factory. The plateau environment required special consideration for altitude, dry climate and lower oxygen pressure, so design and implementation were checked against local operating conditions before delivery.
The result was not only a line for bottled water. It was also a flexible production asset that could support soda water and other high-CO2 beverages across different bottle sizes and neck finishes. For operators, that kind of compatibility reduces the time and risk involved in launching fast-moving new drink categories.
This case shows the practical value of an integrated line strategy: fewer isolated handoffs, faster product switching, and a better fit for brands that are testing new carbonated products while protecting quality and taste.
