Central Asia Project References

1. The references

Sunswell's Central Asian references are anchored in Kazakhstan: the Vizit project (12,000 BPH combiblock for CSD on 1 L PET) and the Rauan project (eight bottling and canning lines from 12,000 to 24,000 BPH for water, CSD and juice). They are the region's delivered evidence — and the closest reference for a plant in any Central Asian market.

The regional buyer matches the line type and output, then verifies with the owner — the same qualification in every country.

2. The regional path

Across Central Asia, the machinery path is the same: EAC certification for the EAEU markets (with national registration added in Uzbekistan), rail or truck delivery from China, installation with a technician, and after-sales through the spares and service channel. The Kazakhstan projects ran this path; the neighbouring markets follow it with their national specifics.

The path is contractual: certification scope, delivery terms, duty responsibility and service response are written into the agreement — and the delivered projects prove the terms are executable.

3. EAC across the region

EAC certification covers the EAEU markets — Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia among them — with Uzbekistan adding national registration on top for some equipment. The delivered projects carried the certificate for the exact model, issued before shipment; the regional buyer should verify the same for their destination, and the supplier's track record is the evidence it happens.

The certificate scope and timing are contract items — a model-specific certificate issued before shipment converts a customs risk into a supplier obligation.

4. Logistics and delivery

Delivery runs by rail or truck through the established corridor from China — to Almaty and Astana on the main lines, through Kazakhstan to Tashkent for Uzbekistan, and in smaller shipments to Bishkek for Kyrgyzstan. Transit is measured in weeks once built, with winter planning built into the schedule the delivered projects validated.

Delivery terms (point, customs party, duty bearer) are contract items — and the terms used on the delivered projects are the template for the next one.

5. The turnkey scope

The Rauan project shows the turnkey scope for a regional producer: multiple lines, shared infrastructure, utilities and services, with one supplier carrying design, delivery, installation and after-sales. A single-line buyer gets the same discipline in miniature — the contract, the acceptance and the support are structured the same way.

For a multi-product regional plant, the turnkey scope is usually the lower-risk structure — the Rauan reference is the evidence it has been delivered.

6. Verifying the references

Verification is three questions to the owner: does the line run at the rated output on your bottle, how is after-sales in practice, and would you buy the same configuration again. For regional projects, add a fourth: did the certification and customs path run as contracted. The answers separate a reference from a photo.

Sunswell's projects are delivered with contactable owners — verification is a call away, and the honest answer is the useful one.

7. Using the references

Use the references three ways: match your line and output to the closest project and ask for its specification; verify with the owner before committing; and use the delivered EAC, logistics and service terms as the template for your contract. The filling machine and combiblock ranges show the line families; the references show they run in Central Asia.
