Handover: Sample run
Assumptions every industrial homogenizer machine quote should repeat: formulation, viscosity at inlet temperature, homogenizing pressure in bar with matching flow in litres per hour, batch volume if used, whether a second stage is included, quantity, destination and delivery window. For an ultrasonic proposal, ask what energy input, cooling and pass count produce the target distribution; a high-pressure valve table does not specify that result. Public GEA Ariete 3160 capacity notes and Hielscher ultrasonic process notes are question patterns only.
Site readiness
Ask which tooling, installation labour, shipping mass, training hours and commissioning travel sit inside the machine line versus remaining extra. Connected load, three-phase supply, cooling water, footprint and PLC interface belong on the same sheet. Spare valve seats, packings or sonotrodes should be priced as named lines. Software licences for recipe storage, if offered, should not be implied by a brochure feature list.
