Quotation input
What Information Is Needed For Quotation
A clearer URS and layout package helps the engineering team confirm equipment scope, capacity assumptions, containment expectations and documentation needs.
Product name, powder properties, bulk density, particle size range and flowability notes.
Required capacity per batch or per hour, target transfer distance and elevation.
Process layout, room classification expectations and upstream/downstream equipment interfaces.
Containment, dust extraction, cleaning, material contact and documentation expectations.
Utilities, control preference, automation scope and FAT/SAT/IQ/OQ support requirements.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a weighing booth the same as an isolator?+
No. A weighing booth is an airflow-controlled workstation, while an isolator is a higher-containment enclosure. Selection depends on the risk assessment.
Can scales be integrated into the booth?+
Yes. Scale tables, printer space, barcode equipment and control interfaces can be considered during booth layout.
Is documentation support available for pharmaceutical projects?+
Documentation support can be included according to project scope, including drawings, material certificates, FAT/SAT records and IQ/OQ support if required.
