From our workshop to your production floor
Installation and commissioning is where a project succeeds or struggles. Because the same Centreline team designs, builds and commissions the machine, the people setting it up on your site know every part of it, and problems are solved on the spot.
Testing before it leaves Berwick
Every machine is assembled, wired and run in our workshop before delivery. Where possible we test it with your product and packaging, and invite you to see it running and sign it off before it ships. Issues are found and fixed in our workshop, not on your production floor.
Installation on site
- Planning the installation with your site team, around your production schedule
- Delivery, positioning and levelling of machines and conveyors
- Mechanical, electrical and pneumatic connection
- Integration with your existing equipment, line controls and inspection systems
- Safety checks before the machine runs
Commissioning for your products
Commissioning is the adjustment and set up that turns an installed machine into a working one. Our engineers set the machine up for each of your products and pack formats, tune speeds and timings, and run it in production conditions until it reliably meets the agreed performance.
For complete lines, we commission every machine and the line as a whole, so machines start, stop and share product correctly.
Training and handover
- Operator training on running the machine, changeovers and clearing faults
- Maintenance training on servicing, adjustment and recommended spare parts
- Manuals, drawings and parts lists for your team
- Support after handover, on site, by phone and through secure remote access
Common questions
What is the difference between installation and commissioning?
Installation is placing and connecting the machine on site. Commissioning is setting it up, testing it and adjusting it until it runs your products reliably at the required performance.
What is a factory acceptance test?
A factory acceptance test (FAT) is a check of the machine at the builder’s premises before delivery, often witnessed by the customer. It confirms the machine works as agreed before it ships, which shortens commissioning on site.
How long does commissioning take?
It depends on the machine and the number of products. A single machine may take days; a complete line takes longer. We plan the timing with you in advance to fit your production schedule.
Can you install and commission machines from other suppliers?
Yes, particularly where they form part of a line we are delivering. We can integrate and commission third party equipment alongside our own.
What support is available after commissioning?
Ongoing service, spare parts and remote support, with optional service level agreements. New machines can also include machine data analytics to track performance from the first day.
