The right technology and commercial decisions decide whether a beverage filling machine line runs compliantly, efficiently and profitably. In this guide Sunswell breaks down On-Site Installation and Commissioning for B2B buyers planning or upgrading a production line.
The first 30 days after a filling machine arrives decide whether your line hits nameplate speed on time. Installation, utility prep, FAT/SAT and commissioning must be planned before the container lands. This guide sets expectations for the critical first month of a Combiblock project.
Prepare the foundation, 3-phase power, compressed air, water and drainage. A conveyor system needs a level, clean floor and clear routes.
Run the line at the supplier's plant (dry/idle) before shipment to catch issues early; pair with your Water Treatment Systems acceptance.
| Days | Activity |
|---|---|
| 1-5 | Unpack, position, utilities connect |
| 6-12 | Mechanical + electrical install |
| 13-20 | Dry run, SAT, first product |
| 21-30 | Speed ramp, training, handover |
Verify stable power and air; run CIP validation before product. For a Combiblock the blow-fill-cap sequence needs precise timing commissioning.
Operator training in the final days turns a running line into a productive one; document setpoints for the filling machine.
If utilities and FAT are done well, yes — but a proper ramp protects OEE on the Combiblock.
Usually the party at fault; clear responsibilities in the contract avoid disputes during commissioning.
Commission your filling machine and Combiblock smoothly with Sunswell.
