Questions to settle before a quotation
- Which exact execution, food geometry and pre-dust material are represented in the offer?
- How are layer addition and loose-flour removal measured in the trial?
- Which extraction, return, pressure-roll and cleanout interfaces are included?
Ask bidders to state trial material, accepted output, losses, utilities, changeover time and scope exclusions in writing. Compare the offered configuration using the same recipe and acceptance criteria.

Common questions
Does every food use the same coating sequence?
Choose layers and passes for the actual product brief. Surface searing/marking is a different finishing branch and may have its own agreed place in the line.
Does a listed category establish accepted production output?
Measure output and quality with the real product, ingredients, transfers, changeovers and agreed acceptance criteria.
