Send product, package format, fill range, target output, and destination voltage/frequency.
Frequently asked questions
What do you need to recommend a configuration?
Product, package format, fill range, target output, and destination voltage/frequency. If available, share photos or a sample pack.
Which formats and options are common for this category?
Typical options: belt/roller/modular; incline/decline; side guards; washdown design; integration sensors.
What usually affects stability and output?
Main factors: product shape, line speed, transfer points, incline angle, sanitation level, space constraints.
Can you run a FAT acceptance test before shipment?
Yes. We can run FAT with your product or a confirmed substitute and provide test video and results for handover.
What documents are included for installation and handover?
Typically: layout, utilities list, manuals, wiring/pneumatic diagrams, spare parts list, and FAT report if applicable.
How do we reduce risk before placing a PO?
Confirm product and package samples, run FAT, lock key specs (range, speed, footprint), and agree on change parts and acceptance criteria.
Can conveyors be food-grade stainless steel?
Yes. SUS304 stainless frames and food-grade belts are standard for washdown and food-contact applications. SUS316L is available for corrosive environments like seafood or chemical lines.
