Put operating evidence at the centre of the comparison. Match filling configuration, closure equipment and change parts to the beer formats you plan to package.
- Which operating records and filling configuration are available?
- How are container and closure changes carried out on this line?
Shortlist used lines for proven brewery capacity
Compare the documented beer formats and filling configuration with the brewery’s production plan. Request the list of closure equipment and change parts. A candidate earns a place in the shortlist through its supported applications, not simply through a high advertised speed.
Define the application
Record product, container material and size, closure, nominal speed, format range, utilities and available floor space.
Compare like with like
Separate the machine itself from optional conveyors, change parts, controls, manuals, guarding, inspection systems and spare parts.
Build the delivered cost
Include inspection, dismantling, packing, loading, transport, duties, installation, modifications, validation and production start-up.
