Questions to settle before a quotation

  • Which flow paths and valve states are required in production and cleaning?
  • What actuator behaviour and position feedback are included?
  • Which connections, seals and product-contact documentation match the offered assembly?

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.

Equipment trial & quotation guide

Selection boundaries

A single-seat shut-off or change-over valve is not a double-seat mixproof valve or a complete aseptic installation. Generic family statements do not establish acceptance of every assembly or control sequence.

Buyer guides

Food pump duty selection

Match flow, differential pressure and inlet conditions to the actual food and piping.

Food valve routing & cleaning

Define valve paths, actuation, feedback and the offered cleaning connections.

Food liquid-transfer trials

Compare material condition, delivered flow, losses and product changes across the transfer route.

Common questions

Does a connection size establish the required flow?

Compare the actual system duty, offered equipment and material conditions. Pipe or valve size alone is not accepted product output.

Are all foods suitable for the example?

Specify material properties and trial the selected configuration. A listed food application is not evidence that every recipe will behave the same way.
