Executive Summary

A vague inquiry gets a vague quote. A professional RFQ for a filling machine line forces suppliers to bid on the same scope, so you can compare real numbers. This guide gives the template and technical specs to send before asking a Combiblock maker for a price.

What to Put in the RFQ

Product(s), package(s), target BPH, water/utility specs, certification markets, footprint and budget range. Ambiguity here is the #1 cause of bad quotes.

Technical spec sheet

List bottle sizes, fill tolerance, CIP expectations and environmental conditions so a water filling machine or CSD line is quoted to the same baseline.

RFQ Checklist

Item Specify
Product & package SKUs, sizes, materials
Capacity BPH per SKU
Utilities Power, air, water, drain
Certification CE / EAC / SASO / etc.
Scope FAT, install, training

Comparing Quotes

Apples to apples

Score each quote on scope, not price: what's included (install, spares, training) and what's extra. A CSD filling machine quote without CIP skids isn't cheaper — it's incomplete.

Supplier evaluation

Weigh certificates, reference plants and after-sales alongside the number for your Juice Filling Machines.

Key Takeaways

  • Vague RFQ = vague, uncomparable quotes.
  • Pin product, package, BPH, utilities, certs.
  • Compare scope, not just price.
  • Score suppliers on capability + service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How detailed must the RFQ be?

Detailed enough that two suppliers quote the same line; that's what makes prices comparable for a Combiblock.

Should I share budget?

A range helps suppliers size rightly and can save a round of re-quoting.
