FAQ — buyer questions
Frequently asked questions about industrial food plants
The questions technical buyers actually ask before signing: scope, timing, origin of the machines, installation abroad, warranty, service and financing documentation.
Before you ask for a quotation
- Define the product first: the same fruit can require three different process configurations
- Fix the packaging format early — it drives the whole end of line
- Check utilities: steam and chilled water availability often decide the layout
Frequently asked questions
- What exactly is included in a turnkey contract?
- Process engineering, equipment supply, automation, packing and shipping, on-site erection, cold and hot commissioning, performance test, documentation and operator training.
- What is the typical lead time?
- Six to twelve months from order to performance test for a mid-size line, depending on process family, civil works and destination.
- Where are the machines manufactured?
- In Europe, mainly in our Italian workshop and through a qualified European supply chain, with CE marking and traceable material certificates.
- Do you install and commission outside Europe?
- Yes. Installation, commissioning, training and after-sales service are delivered worldwide by our own field technicians.
- What warranty do you provide?
- A standard 12-month warranty on supplied equipment from commissioning, extendable through a service contract that includes scheduled maintenance and spare-part kits.
- Can you help with bank financing documentation?
- We prepare a structured technical and cost dossier that banks and advisors can assess. It documents assumptions and calculations; it is not financial advice.
