Your equipment has traveled across the ocean to your port. How do you confirm it’s in good condition? Below is a practical checklist based on BYFO’s many years of export experience. Simply check the boxes to follow the steps; no professional engineer is required.
I. Before unpacking (Don’t rush to disassemble)
| Check item | How to do |
| Outer packaging | Check the wooden box/iron frame for damage, deformation, and signs of water damage. |
| Quantity | Check the number of boxes and pieces against the packing list. |
| Take a photo for record | Take photos immediately upon discovering any damage, and preserve photos of the original packaging. |
⚠️ If there is obvious damage, please contact the freight forwarder and BYFO customer service first.
II. Unpacking and inspection (Opening and viewing)
| Check item | Qualified standard |
| Main unit appearance | No obvious bumps, scratches, rust, or paint peeling |
| Parts list | According to the packing list: the motor, control box, cutting tools, molds, instruction manual, certificate of conformity, etc. are all complete. |
| Bolt tightening | There may be some loosening after transportation; please tighten the main connecting bolts by hand. |
| Circuit | There were no broken wires or loose connections inside the control box. |
III. Pre-power-on inspection (Safety first)
| Check item | How to do |
| Power supply voltage | Confirm that the voltage on the equipment nameplate is consistent with the local power supply (e.g., 380V/50Hz or 220V/60Hz). |
| Grounding | It must be reliably grounded to prevent electric shock. |
| Motor rotation | Manually rotating the motor shaft should result in smooth and unobstructed movement. |
| Lubricating | Add lubricating oil according to the instructions (if required). |
IV. No-load test run (Without loading)
| Check item | Qualified standard |
| Start up | Press the start button, and the equipment operates normally without any abnormal noise. |
| Forward and reverse rotation | Confirm that the motor rotation direction matches the arrow direction (reversing it will damage the equipment). |
| Each operation | Feeding, forming, and cutting operations are normal (testing the empty operation when there is no material). |
| Emergency stop button | Press the emergency stop button, and the equipment will stop immediately. |
V. Load testing (Trial production with scrap material)
Find a piece of scrap sheet metal (same material, same thickness) and produce a small section for trial production:
| Check item | Qualified standard |
| Forming effect | Regular shape, tight bite, no cracks |
| Dimensional accuracy | Use a measuring tape to measure length and diameter/width; the error should be within the equipment’s nominal range. |
| Cutting end face | The cut is smooth and free of severe burrs. |
| Noise | It runs smoothly without any obvious abnormal noises or violent vibrations. |
VI. Document acceptance (Required)
• Chinese/English Instruction Manuals (including circuit diagrams and mechanical drawings)
• Certificate of Conformity/Factory Inspection Report
• Packing List
• List of Vulnerable Parts (for convenient local procurement of alternatives)
• Operation Video Link
VII. Quick troubleshooting for common problems
| Appearance | Possible reason | How to do |
| The motor is not rotating | Power supply /circuit/ emergency stop not reset | Check the power supply and emergency stop button. |
| Can’t be cut off | Large blade clearance or wear | Adjust the gap, or contact BYFO to order a new blade. |
| Forming shape is not round | Improper gap between forming rollers | Adjust the roller spacing according to the instruction manual. |
| Bite is loosening | Insufficient pressure/mold wear | Increase pressure, or replace the mold. |
