What is most often overlooked when sourcing a packaging machine for liquid products?
• Overlooking filler valve-viscosity match: piston pumps for high viscosity, flowmeters for low, or dosing error exceeds tolerance.
• Failing to verify CIP/SIP connections and drain slope, causing residue and failing FDA/CE acceptance.
• Ignoring drip and stringing control: nozzle retraction or cut-off valve needed to prevent heat-seal contamination.
• Missing cycle time and defoaming for carbonated/foaming liquids, actual output 20% below rated capacity.
• Skipping corrosion material validation: require 316L stainless steel and EPDM seal certificates.
