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.
