Standard payment is <strong>40% with the order and 60% before shipment<\/strong>, L\/C at sight for larger lines. Delivery follows the Incoterm named in the quotation. Warranty is <strong>12 months from commissioning or 14 months from shipment<\/strong>, whichever comes first. Output figures on this site are reference values; the guaranteed figure is the one measured during the material trial and written into the contract.<\/p><\/section>\n<div class=\"stats\"><div class=\"stat\"><b>30 days<\/b><span>quotation validity<\/span><\/div><div class=\"stat\"><b>40 \/ 60<\/b><span>payment split<\/span><\/div><div class=\"stat\"><b>12 months<\/b><span>warranty<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s2\">Quotations<\/h2>\n<p>Quotations are valid for <strong>30 days<\/strong> from the date of issue unless stated otherwise, because gearbox, motor and steel prices move. Prices are exclusive of duties, taxes and local charges in the destination country. A quotation covers the machine scope listed in it and nothing that is not listed: utilities, foundations, local labour, inbound freight from the port and installation materials are the buyer's scope unless the quotation says otherwise.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s3\">Specifications and reference output<\/h2>\n<p>Capacity figures published on this site are reference values at standard screw speed with a stated material. They are useful for comparing configurations; they are not a guarantee. The guaranteed output is the figure measured during the material trial, written into the contract, and re-measured at commissioning on the same material and the same pellet standard.<\/p>\n<p>Where a buyer's material differs from the trial material \u2014 different filler grade, different mesh, different MFI \u2014 the guarantee follows the trial material, and a new trial is the honest way to move it. The sizing logic is explained in the <a href=\"\/knowledge\/\">selection guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s4\">Payment<\/h2>\n<div class=\"tw\"><table><caption><b>Table 1.<\/b> Standard payment structures.<\/caption>\n<thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">Structure<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Split<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Typical use<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td><b>Standard<\/b><\/td><td>40% deposit, 60% before shipment against copy of B\/L<\/td><td>Single line, repeat customer<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><b>Letter of credit<\/b><\/td><td>L\/C at sight, confirming bank acceptable to both sides<\/td><td>Larger lines, first order<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><b>Multi-line project<\/b><\/td><td>Milestones per machine, agreed in the contract<\/td><td>Turnkey plant<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s5\">Delivery and Incoterms<\/h2>\n<p>Delivery follows the Incoterm named in the quotation \u2014 usually FOB Shanghai or Ningbo, or CIF to the destination port. The Incoterm decides who pays freight, insurance and unloading, and where risk passes; it does not decide who clears customs at destination, which is normally the buyer. Machines are packed sea-worthy for 30\u201345 days of ocean transit, with the electrical cabinet and instruments crated separately.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s6\">Warranty<\/h2>\n<p>Twelve months from commissioning or fourteen months from shipment, whichever comes first, covering design, material and workmanship faults. Excluded: wear parts (screw elements in the wear zone, cutter blades, heater bands, screens, seals), damage from operation outside the agreed parameters, and damage from unauthorised modification. Warranty work is done by replacing or repairing the part; travel and accommodation for an on-site visit outside the commissioning window are quoted separately.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s7\">Inspection and claims<\/h2>\n<p>Inspection before shipment is welcome: at our works, by video, or by a third party such as SGS, T\u00dcV or BV at the buyer's cost. Claims for shortage or transit damage should be raised within <strong>7 days<\/strong> of arrival, with photos of the packing and the damage, so that the insurance claim can be filed while the container is still being unloaded.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"sec\" id=\"s8\">Intellectual property<\/h2>\n<p>Screw configurations, drawings and process parameters supplied by Kerke remain our property and are provided so the buyer can operate and maintain the delivered equipment.
