Start with product, container and hygiene requirements. Review the entire project around the filler, including bottle production, utilities and downstream packaging.
- Which still or sparkling water formats are supported?
- What hygiene, air and water requirements need confirmation for the site?
Review the documented water-packaging process
Ask for the demonstrated product and format, fitted filling groups and available cleaning records. Review the treatment and utility information with responsible specialists. Machine listings provide a starting point for evaluation, not evidence of water quality or site hygiene performance.
Verify identity and scope
Match serial plates, year, manuals, electrical drawings and the seller’s equipment list to every module offered.
Inspect condition
Check wear parts, lubrication, bearings, product-contact areas, safety systems, controls, obsolescence and visible modifications.
Test with evidence
Whenever possible run the equipment with representative product and formats, recording speed, rejects, alarms and changeover requirements.
