That matches how Kerke already works \u2014 every quotation is backed by a 3\u20137 day trial on your material, with temperatures, screw speed, feeder settings and kg\/h measured and written down, and every delivered machine test-run with material before shipment with the record included.<\/p>\n<p>Makuhari also confirmed where the bar sits for functional materials: tighter temperature windows, cleaner pelletizing and feeding accuracy measured in grams. Those are configuration and control questions, which is why we bring the gravimetric feeding and downstream scope into the same quotation instead of leaving them to integrators.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s4\">The questions we answered<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tw\"><table><caption><b>Table 1.<\/b> The four questions that came back at booth 17-13, and the short answers.<\/caption>\n<thead><tr><th>Question<\/th><th>Answer on the stand<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>How small a lab line do you build?<\/td><td>KTE lab units from 15.6 mm screw diameter \u2014 bench-scale, with production-machine geometry.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Can trial data predict the production line?<\/td><td>Same platform, scaled by L\/D and speed; the trial report becomes the commissioning baseline.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Pellet dust limits?<\/td><td>Pelletizing method is selected for the spec \u2014 strand, underwater, die-face and others, each with its own dust profile.<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Documentation standard?<\/td><td>English manual, electrical drawings, spare parts list and the factory run record ship with every machine.<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s5\">Visit the works instead<\/h2>\n<p>Every machine Kerke sells is built and run in one place: screw elements, shafts and barrels are machined in our Nanjing works, gearboxes are assembled and run in for 24 hours, and every line is tested <strong>with material<\/strong> before it ships.
