Plastic Modular Belt RFQ Checklist<\/h1>\n

A useful RFQ gives the information that changes the belt, drive and conveyor interface. It does not need to be long, but it should be mechanically complete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n

New conveyor RFQ<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
\"Wide<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n

For a new conveyor, start with the application and geometry. Provide the conveyed product, belt width, path, transfers and proposed drive arrangement. Add load\/speed and process environment when known. The objective is to select a mechanically suitable family before asking for detailed material or documentation confirmation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n

Replacement RFQ<\/h2>\n

For a replacement, add the existing belt as a physical reference: top, underside, hinge\/pin and sprocket photographs; pitch measured across several repeats; overall belt width; straight\/radius path; and any readable reference. If the old belt is damaged, photograph the damage and a healthy section separately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

What not to leave ambiguous<\/h2>\n

Avoid descriptions such as \u201cstandard belt\u201d, \u201cfood belt\u201d or \u201csame as photo\u201d without dimensions. If a field is unknown, say it is unknown and provide a photograph. Explicitly missing data can be resolved; assumed data can create a wrong quotation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n

MOQ and sample planning<\/h2>\n

Standard parts with quantity MOQ; high-value\/large items by order value. New-client samples (1-5 pcs) at sample price. Combine multiple models for USD 1,500. Special materials\/processes follow process MOQ. 1-2-piece retail orders are not accepted.<\/p>\n

For multiple models, list each configuration and quantity separately even when they are combined toward a commercial minimum. This prevents technical requirements from being merged accidentally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n

Files that help<\/h2>\n

PDF drawings, exported CAD views, photographs and spreadsheets can all be useful. Mark the critical dimensions and indicate whether a measurement is required for fit, process performance or internal approval.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n

Before you send<\/h2>\n
\n

I only have photos. Is that enough?<\/h3>\n

Photos can start the review. Add pitch and belt width if you can measure them safely.<\/p>\n

I need several belt models. How should I list them?<\/h3>\n

Use one line per configuration with quantity and any distinct application\/geometry.<\/p>\n

Should I include sprockets?<\/h3>\n

Yes when they are being replaced, redesigned or needed to confirm the drive interface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n

An RFQ can be short and still be complete<\/h2>\n

For a new conveyor, one marked-up layout plus a small table of width, path, product, load\/speed and environment can be enough to start. For a replacement, a photograph set plus pitch and width may be more useful than a long written description. The objective is not paperwork; it is to capture the variables that change the belt and its interfaces.<\/p>\n

List multiple belt models on separate lines. Keep quantity, application and any different materials or accessories attached to the correct line so technical requirements are not merged during quotation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n
\n

Need help narrowing the configuration?<\/h2>\n

Send the information you already have. Missing fields can be identified during review rather than guessed.<\/p>\n
