Define the snack as a filling material, not only a flavour
Record viscosity at the intended filling temperature, maximum particle or fibre size, oil separation, air content and how long the product may stand before it changes. A smooth salmon paste and a fibrous chicken recipe can require different outlet clearance and cutoff timing even when both are sold in 15 ml sticks. Supply enough material for warm-up, stable running, a planned pause and a restart.
| Recipe condition | Likely machine risk | Evidence to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth, low-fibre paste | Drip or stringing can mark the seal after cutoff. | Nozzle video and opened seal samples |
| Fibrous or chunky snack | A narrow passage can block or shear inclusions. | Largest-particle sample and rejected sticks |
| Oil-separating recipe | The first and last portions may not match. | Composition check across the run |
| Aerated product | Apparent volume can change as bubbles settle. | Individual fill results after a pause |

The feed vessel must protect texture and temperature
The saved product page shows a vertical material barrel and also mentions temperature control for semi-fluid products. Those are configuration clues, not proof that every delivered machine has the same vessel. Confirm the fitted barrel, outlet, heating method if required, temperature display and drain point. Heating should be justified by product flow and quality limits; unnecessary heat can change colour, aroma or viscosity.
Cutoff quality protects the transverse seal
Watch the nozzle at startup, after stable operation and immediately after a stop. A delayed drop may land on the film while the jaws close. Separate portion accuracy from cleanliness: a stick can contain the declared amount and still fail because paste is trapped in the seal. Record the number of contaminated seals, wipe frequency and the first acceptable pack after each restart.
Keep the first consecutive sticks and mark when fill and seal checks both pass.
Stop for the expected production delay, restart without special cleaning and isolate the first group.
Check portion behavior near the normal refill point instead of only with a full vessel.
Confirm passage through the outlet without blockage, crushing or late release.
Bag width and corner shape need a signed drawing
The summary field lists 40-130 mm width, while the specification table lists 20-75 mm. The page also shows straight, rounded and shaped stick ends. None should be promised from a generic illustration. Approve one finished drawing with overall width, seal allowance, length, corner radius or notch, print repeat and roll direction. The former, cutter and artwork must refer to that same revision.

Fill acceptance must resolve the stored lower-limit conflict
The form summary states 1-100 ml, while the specification table states 3-100 ml. Do not average or silently choose between them. Define the commercial portion, measure individual sticks with a method suited to the recipe, and report mean, spread and rejects for startup, stable operation, pause and refill phases. The accepted result applies to the tested recipe and outlet setup, not every wet pet food.

Cleaning release must include hidden wet-product areas
Trace the path from barrel wall to outlet, valve or pump components, nozzle seat, former splash area and collection points. The operator should demonstrate safe emptying, removal of approved contact parts, inspection, reassembly and the first released pack. For flavour or allergen changes, define a release test rather than relying only on an exterior wipe.
Close the technical file with a recipe sheet, vessel and outlet drawing, approved film data, stick artwork, fill results and photographs of opened seals. Note which settings are operator recipes and which require mechanical change parts. This evidence lets a later factory batch be compared with the acceptance run without depending on memory or an unlabeled demonstration video.

Questions for a wet pet snack trial
Can water replace the real snack during acceptance?
No. Water does not reproduce fibre passage, oil separation, stringing, portion behavior or cleaning residue.
Which minimum fill is confirmed?
Neither conflicting stored value is final until the intended recipe is run with an agreed measurement method.
Are rounded or shaped stick ends standard?
The saved imagery shows options, but the delivered cutter and approved drawing must confirm the chosen shape.
What proves a clean seal?
Retain filled samples from sustained production, open the seal area and record contamination or leakage after handling.
What should be recorded after cleaning?
Record removed parts, hidden inspection points, reassembly checks and the first pack released for production.
Conclusion
Approve this project around one wet snack recipe, vessel and cutoff arrangement, signed stick drawing, fill study and cleaning release. The related pet food packaging machine range provides the product context, while the disputed minimum fill and bag width must stay outside the purchase guarantee until reconciled.
