Machine configuration
Specify the water condition at the filling machine inlet, then ask who owns the tank, pump, pipework and controls needed to provide it. This is a machine-supply interface review. Raw-water treatment and finished-product validation require their own project design.
Have the process owner identify the product, expected temperature and quality requirements. Ask the filler supplier for normal and peak demand, permitted inlet conditions and the measurement point for each stated value.
Request the proposed tank arrangement, pump duty, level control, instrumentation and connection boundary. Ask how the offered system accommodates upstream variation and stops. Do not choose a tank from bottle speed alone or assume pump motor power states its hydraulic duty.
Request wetted-material and seal identification, drain and access details, and the cleaning procedure supplied for the equipment. Make the boundary between machine cleaning and upstream process validation explicit.
Record inlet conditions during the reference run and agreed controlled supply disturbances. Confirm the machine's alarm and recovery behavior through qualified personnel. A FAT using a different temporary supply should identify what remains to be checked on site.
No. Define storage and delivery separately from the treatment processes required by the water analysis and intended product.
Bottle demand is one input. Ask the supplier to document the required flow and pressure at the defined connection, operating conditions and piping assumptions.
An identified supply boundary, duty and condition schedule, equipment list, controls, cleaning connections, exclusions and acceptance responsibility.
Reference basis
The catalog treatment reference includes pretreatment and reverse osmosis, but the actual train follows raw-water analysis and the required finished-water standard.
