RFQ Scope for an Automatic Liquid Filling Machine
Buyers should define bottle range, fill volumes, pump configuration, and exclusions in the RFQ so suppliers quote comparable automatic liquid filling systems.
Start the RFQ by deciding whether the quoted machine must cover the full catalog reference range of 10–500 mL and 30–110 mm bottle diameter, or only your current SKUs. A narrow scope may reduce cost, but ask the supplier to state the range it will guarantee and how changeover between formats is handled.
Specify the filling system explicitly: the reference configuration uses a single-head rotor pump. Ask whether that head suits your liquids and target fills, and request a demonstration or acceptance test at the low and high ends of your volume and diameter ranges. Clarify container and closure handling, liquid-contact materials, cleaning access, and whether bottle and volume customization is included or priced separately.
Use the RFQ to separate included items from exclusions. List utilities, guarding, change parts, spares, documentation, installation, training, and validation support, and ask each bidder to mark them included, optional, or excluded. Require quoted throughput assumptions and test conditions so offers can be compared.
Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which specifications are guaranteed for the offered model, what samples and test protocols are needed, and which options or exclusions affect price and lead time.
