Normalize the inlet and output
Whole nuts, prepared kernel and extracted milk are different inputs. Specify the feed basis, target recipe and package route first. Ask each supplier to mark work completed upstream and the exact condition delivered at the outlet.
Replace a single rate with a schedule
State input kg/h, batch sizes, expected running hours, cleaning and changeovers. Require the supplier to explain the bottleneck and the evidence behind any output claim. Separate nameplate rate from accepted finished-product output.
Ask for evidence that matches the offer
Request model-specific drawings, contact-material information, applicable conformity documents, utilities and the trial conditions behind performance claims. A similar photograph or another product application is not verification of the proposed module.
Make exclusions visible
Identify installation, utilities, recipe trials, thermal validation, packaging qualification, training, spares and service responsibilities. Record commercial terms in the formal offer; the website does not promise a price, delivery date or guaranteed process result.
