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.

Blow-fill-cap Combibloc for Still Water – Sunswell

Executive Summary

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.

Before the Line Arrives

Prepare the foundation, 3-phase power, compressed air, water and drainage. A conveyor system needs a level, clean floor and clear routes.

Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)

Run the line at the supplier's plant (dry/idle) before shipment to catch issues early; pair with your Water Treatment Systems acceptance.

The 30-Day Timeline

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

Commissioning Well

Utilities and CIP

Verify stable power and air; run CIP validation before product. For a Combiblock the blow-fill-cap sequence needs precise timing commissioning.

Training and handover

Operator training in the final days turns a running line into a productive one; document setpoints for the filling machine.

Key Takeaways

  • Prep utilities before the line ships.
  • FAT at supplier saves on-site time.
  • Plan a 30-day ramp, not a 1-day start.
  • Train operators before handover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we start faster than 30 days?

If utilities and FAT are done well, yes — but a proper ramp protects OEE on the Combiblock.

Who pays for delays?

Usually the party at fault; clear responsibilities in the contract avoid disputes during commissioning.
