What you are actually comparing.

Two quotes, one machine name

What hides inside the price

Container family

Pre-formed cups on rotary or linear machines, bottles for drinking yogurt, or pouches. Each is a separate machine, not a change part.

Dosing for your texture

Piston dosing for stirred yogurt, a second doser for fruit layers, and a nozzle that cuts off clean. Ask the largest fruit piece the valve passes.

Hygiene level

Clean, ultra-clean with filtered air and UV on cups and lids, or aseptic. Your target shelf life picks the level.

Lid sealing

Heat sealing of foil lids: ask how seal temperature and pressure are controlled and logged.

Lanes

Rotary machines usually run one or two lanes; linear machines run several. Output scales with lanes.

Require this	A pass looks like
Fill your yogurt, a counted series, each cup weighed.	Spread inside your tolerance and no product on the seal flange.
Squeeze and peel test sealed cups from the run.	No leaking cup, and peel force inside the lid supplier's range.
If fruit is dosed, cut open sampled cups.	Pieces intact and fruit portion inside tolerance.

Food contact declarations for dosing parts and seals under Regulation (EC) 1935/2004.

The one people forget. Measured results for the UV or filtered-air system, if the offer claims one. Without them the claim does nothing for your shelf-life case.

When this is the wrong machine.

Buy something else if

Named, not hedged

You sell drinking yogurt in bottles.

A bottle filler with a capper; a cup machine will not convert.

You fill small batches for a farm shop.

A semi-automatic cup filler and a hand sealer.

Where the numbers come from.

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.
