Installation checklist
Bottled Water Filling Line Installation Preparation Checklist
Use this checklist before the bottled water filling line arrives for installation and commissioning.
Before Machine Arrival
Installation readiness should be checked before shipment, not after the container arrives.
- Confirm equipment layout and unloading route.
- Prepare power, compressed air, water supply and drainage.
- Prepare local workers, forklift or lifting equipment if needed.
- Prepare bottles, caps, labels, film or cartons for trial running.
- Assign operators and maintenance staff for training.
Installation Checklist Table
Use this table to divide supplier preparation and buyer site preparation.
Site Readiness
| Area | Buyer Preparation | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Utilities | Power, air, water and drainage ready near equipment. | Prevents commissioning delay. |
| Trial materials | Bottle, cap, label, film, carton and treated water prepared. | Needed for real production testing. |
| Operators | Production and maintenance staff available. | Training should happen during commissioning. |
| Tools and safety | Basic tools, cleaning area and safe access prepared. | Supports adjustment and maintenance. |
| Spare parts storage | Dry storage for spare parts and documents. | Prevents loss or damage after startup. |
Approve Documents Before Shipment
Site work should follow approved project information. Before shipment, reconcile the final equipment list with the layout, utility schedule, connection points and responsibility schedule.
Pre-Shipment Document Check
| Document | What to Confirm | Site Action |
|---|---|---|
| Final layout | Machine orientation, conveyor direction, maintenance space and package flow. | Mark foundations, doors, columns and unloading route. |
| Utility schedule | Voltage, connected load, air, water, drainage and connection locations. | Prepare local distribution and verify actual supply. |
| Equipment and packing list | All machines, accessories, change parts, tools, spares and package numbers. | Plan receiving, inventory and protected storage. |
| Responsibility schedule | Who installs, connects, supplies trial materials, trains and accepts. | Book local contractors, operators and lifting equipment. |
Prepare Commissioning Materials and Acceptance Records
Commissioning should use the agreed bottle, cap, label, pack and water conditions. Record open items and accepted results against the contracted scope rather than treating machine power-on as project completion.
- Prepare enough approved bottles or preforms, caps, labels, ink, film or cartons for setup and trial running.
- Confirm treated water, utilities, drainage and material replenishment are stable before the agreed test.
- Assign named production, maintenance and quality personnel for training and sign-off.
- Record settings, remaining corrective items, responsible party and agreed completion evidence.
- Collect manuals, drawings, software or parameter backups, spare-parts lists and training records before handover.
Buyer questions
Questions Buyers Ask Before Quotation
What should be ready before a bottled water filling line arrives?
The approved layout, unloading route, utilities, drainage, local workers, lifting equipment, trial materials, operators and secure parts storage should be prepared.
Who connects power, air, water and drainage?
The contract should assign responsibility. Machine connection and local plant distribution are often separate tasks, so each connection point and responsible party should be listed.
What materials are needed for commissioning?
Prepare the approved bottles or preforms, caps, labels, coding consumables, packing materials and treated water for the formats included in the commissioning scope.
What should be recorded at handover?
Record accepted formats and tests, operating settings, open corrective items, training, manuals, drawings, backups, spare parts and the person responsible for each remaining action.
Review Site Readiness Before Shipment
Send the equipment scope, workshop layout, destination voltage and available utilities. We can identify the information needed before installation and commissioning are scheduled.
