A clear, detailed RFQ (Request for Quotation) is the first step to obtaining an accurate, cost-effective and customized beverage production line solution. Many overseas clients receive inconsistent, over-budget or mismatched equipment quotations simply because their RFQ lacks key project information. A well-prepared RFQ helps manufacturers deliver precise layout design, equipment configuration, capacity matching and accurate pricing, greatly shortening project communication cycles and avoiding later modification and rework. As a professional turnkey beverage line manufacturer with rich global project experience, we summarize the core checklist for preparing a standard beverage line RFQ, guiding you to complete efficient and professional demand submission.
1. Confirm Exact Beverage Product Type
Different drinks require completely different production processes, filling technologies and supporting equipment, which directly determine the whole-line configuration. In your RFQ, please clearly define your product category to avoid process mismatch.
Required details：Pure water, mineral water, juice, tea drink, energy drink, carbonated drink or dairy beverage. Please also specify whether your formula contains pulp, gas, sugar or heat-sensitive ingredients.
Our professional support：We match targeted filling modes (hot filling / cold aseptic filling / normal pressure filling), specialized water treatment process and CIP cleaning scheme according to your product characteristics, ensuring stable taste and long shelf life.
2. Clarify Production Capacity Requirements
Capacity is the core basis for equipment model selection and whole-line rhythm matching. Vague capacity demands easily lead to over-configured high-cost equipment or under-capacity production bottlenecks.
Required details：Hourly output (such as 2000BPH, 6000BPH, 12000BPH), daily working hours and expected annual production volume.
Our professional support：We scientifically match bottle blowing, filling, labeling and packaging speed to realize full-line synchronous operation, maximize production efficiency and control your investment cost reasonably.
3. Provide Bottle Specification & Packaging Information
Bottle shape, volume and packaging style determine the structure of filling grippers, capping heads, conveying system and end packaging equipment.
Required details：Bottle material (PET/glass), bottle volume (330ml, 500ml, 1L, 2L etc.), round or special-shaped bottle, cap type, labeling type (sleeve / OPP / self-adhesive) and final packaging mode (film wrapping / carton packing).
Our professional support：We complete personalized mechanical adjustment and parameter calibration for different bottle types, support fast mold replacement and flexible production, and ensure stable and low-failure running of the whole line.
4. Offer Raw Water Quality Conditions
Water treatment is the source of beverage quality. Different raw water sources require different purification processes, which is the key to avoid product precipitation, discoloration and unqualified sanitation indicators.
Required details：Raw water source (tap water / well water / river water), TDS value, water hardness and local water quality report (if available).
Our professional support：We customize RO, UF or combined water treatment system. For mineral water projects, we adopt low-interference selective purification technology to retain beneficial minerals while ensuring water safety.
5. Supply Factory Layout & Site Conditions
Workshop size, floor load, water/electric/air utility conditions and channel space directly affect equipment layout, installation scheme and production logistics design.
Required details：Workshop length and width, floor height, power voltage, available water and air interface position, and whether there is purification room requirement.
Our professional support：We provide free CAD and 3D workshop layout design, optimize equipment arrangement and operation channels, standardize pipeline and circuit layout, and ensure GMP-compliant, space-saving and high-efficiency factory construction.
6. Confirm Project Configuration & Service Demands
Clearly define your expected project scope to realize one-stop turnkey delivery.
Optional demands：Independent water treatment system, bottle blowing machine, full-automatic filling line, CIP system, labeling machine, packaging machine, automatic palletizing system and intelligent control system. You can also clarify whether you need installation guidance, overseas on-site commissioning and staff training.
Our professional support：We provide flexible modular configuration, avoid redundant equipment investment, and offer full-cycle services including scheme design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, after-sales maintenance and spare parts supply.
