RFQ Scope for an Automatic Conveyor Sandblasting Machine

Buyers should define conveyor speed range, gun count, chamber size, options and exclusions in the RFQ so quotations for an automatic conveyor sandblasting machine can be compared fairly.

A buyer specifying an automatic conveyor sandblasting machine for metal surface treatment should first decide how much process flexibility the RFQ must cover. Ask each supplier to state the adjustable conveyor speed range it offers and to confirm whether the quoted machine matches the reference value of 0–5 m/min or differs. Also require the number of blasting guns to be stated explicitly, since the catalog reference lists 12 guns; a lower count changes coverage and cycle assumptions.

Use the working chamber reference of 1,400 × 1,100 × 1,000 mm to frame questions about part envelope, loading method and whether the chamber suits the largest workpiece. In the RFQ, separate base scope from options such as dust collection, abrasive recycling, wear liners and controls, and list exclusions such as installation, media, compressed air supply and operator training.

Before requesting a quote, confirm with the supplier which specifications are guaranteed for the offered model, how conveyor speed and gun count are verified at acceptance, and which items are excluded from the quoted scope.
