Tissue Converting Machine Arrival Inspection Checklist

Why an Arrival Inspection Matters for Your Tissue Converting Line

When your tissue converting machine is delivered, the period before installation is the best time to verify that everything you ordered has arrived intact. A structured arrival check helps you confirm that the main machine sections, accessories, spare parts, and technical documents are complete and free from transportation damage.

Dealing with a missing component or a damaged part before installation is far simpler than discovering it after the machine has been moved into position. This guide outlines a practical checklist to follow when your equipment arrives.

1. Inspect the Packaging Before Unpacking

Start by examining the external condition of all crates and packages. Look for signs of impact, moisture exposure, broken seals, or damaged labels. If you notice serious damage, take clear photos and videos before opening anything. Contact the equipment supplier with this evidence to confirm the next steps before you proceed.

2. Verify the Packing List

Once unpacked, compare the delivered items against the packing list supplied by the manufacturer. Confirm that the main machine sections, electrical cabinet, rollers, mechanical parts, sensors, safety guards, and all accessories are present. The goal is to ensure the major items match the shipment documents before the installation crew begins work.

3. Inspect Mechanical Components

Visually check the primary mechanical parts for damage that may have occurred in transit. Pay close attention to rollers, bearings, shafts, belts, gears, and the machine frame. If any part appears loose, bent, cracked, or damaged, record your findings. Avoid making major adjustments before installation unless you are specifically instructed to do so by the supplier.

4. Check Electrical and Control Parts

Examine the visible condition of the electrical cabinet, control panel, motors, sensors, cables, and connectors. Look for loose parts, broken connectors, or obvious damage. All electrical connections should be carried out according to the machine documentation and handled by qualified personnel only.

5. Confirm Documents and Spare Parts

Ensure that all supplied tools, spare parts, and technical documents have been received. Key documents typically include installation drawings, electrical diagrams, operating instructions, and spare parts lists. Keep these materials accessible for the installation and commissioning team.

6. Final Arrival Checklist

Before installation begins, run through this final checklist to confirm you are ready to proceed:

• Packaging condition checked
• Transportation damage assessed
• Packing list verified against delivered items
• Main machine sections confirmed
• Mechanical parts inspected
• Electrical parts inspected
