Confirm local market and product standards
Before equipment selection, buyers should define target product type, local building standard, selling price, competing products, and expected production scale. Product positioning affects line capacity and process design.
Prepare factory and utility information
Site size, workshop height, electricity, fuel, water, compressed air, drainage, transportation route, and storage area should be reviewed early. These conditions affect layout and equipment configuration.
Plan start-up support
A new factory also needs installation, commissioning, recipe setup, worker training, spare parts, and technical support. These items are essential for moving from equipment delivery to stable production.
