StriversMachinery is the trading name of Guangzhou Strivers Automation Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd., based in Guangzhou, China. We supply mixing, filling, processing and packaging solutions for manufacturers, from individual machines to coordinated production equipment.
Mixing and emulsifying equipment is our core manufacturing business. For complementary machines, we work with long-term partner suppliers and coordinate the equipment selection and interfaces. Our manufacturing and supply guide explains this approach. We explain the proposed supply when discussing your project so you know what is included.
Yes. A project may combine our processing equipment with filling, closing, labeling and other supporting machines. Our role is to bring the required stages together around your product and production plan. The agreed equipment list defines the scope of supply.
We are based in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. If you would like to visit, contact us before making travel arrangements so we can confirm the location, meeting time and equipment available to view.
The company was founded in 2016. Since then, StriversMachinery has completed more than 100 projects and supplied customers in more than 20 countries, including startups and established manufacturers expanding their production.
Our main markets are cosmetics and personal care, food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceutical and oral care products. We begin with the actual formulation and manufacturing task because two products in the same industry can need quite different equipment.
Of course. Tell us what you intend to make, how much you need to produce and how you want to pack it. We can help identify the equipment functions to review and the information still needed before preparing a detailed proposal.
Contact us with a short project introduction and your preferred dates or time zone. We will confirm a suitable arrangement and the equipment available to discuss or view. Demonstrations depend on the machines and materials available at the time.
Yes. We have supplied customers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, other European countries, Australia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and South America. For each order, we review the destination, site services and project requirements individually.
Email [email protected] with your product and equipment requirements. You can also contact Andy at [email protected] or Sunny at [email protected]. For an existing machine, include its model and photographs so the inquiry can be directed appropriately.
No. Some formulations need emulsification and air removal, while others mainly need blending. We look at the ingredient sequence, finished consistency and required heating or cooling before recommending a vacuum emulsifying mixer or another arrangement.
A mixing tank provides agitation for its specified blending duty. A homogenizing mixing tank adds a high-shear function for products that need it. Tell us what must happen to the ingredients during production; the product name alone is not enough to decide which functions are useful.
They use different working tools and suit different processing tasks. A disperser is relevant to suitable powder incorporation and dispersion duties, while a rotor-stator high-shear mixer provides another form of high-shear processing. We assess the intended result and material before selecting the arrangement. See our high-speed dispersers for that equipment category.
Total volume describes the vessel's overall capacity. Working capacity is the quantity intended for processing under the specified conditions, leaving the space the operation needs. Use your actual batch quantity when comparing equipment, rather than treating the tank's total volume as usable production volume.
The mixing tool and vessel must work properly with the amount of material present. A vessel chosen for your largest order may be unsuitable for a much smaller trial using laboratory or pilot equipment. Tell us both quantities so we can review whether one machine can reasonably cover the range.
It may, but we review the recipes separately. Shampoo can mainly require blending, while conditioner may involve phase preparation, emulsification and cooling. Cleaning and the batch schedule also influence whether sharing one vessel makes sense. Our hair care application page follows those production differences.
Electric, pneumatic and hydraulic lifting describe how the head or vessel assembly is raised and lowered. They do not necessarily describe the drive turning the mixing tool. The electric-lift disperser illustrates one arrangement. We confirm both functions, the lifting travel and the access required for the selected machine.
Those are separate functions. Some mobile mixers use an unheated, single-layer vessel; other configurations provide thermal control or vacuum. We list the actual equipment functions in the proposal so you can compare them against your process.
A larger batch changes preparation, addition, heating, cooling and discharge conditions. Trials with a laboratory vacuum emulsifying mixer are a useful starting point, but the production procedure needs assessment on the selected arrangement. Our laboratory-to-production guide explains the transition in more detail.
We can review the equipment and operating sequence with you. Send the formulation's handling characteristics, addition order, operating conditions and a short video where possible. Mixing is only one possible entry point for air; transfer and filling also deserve attention. The cream air-bubble guide provides background.
We use the finished product, filling temperature, quantity and package to narrow the options. Gear, rotor, magnetic and peristaltic pump arrangements serve different duties. A sample helps us assess feeding, cutoff and cleaning rather than selecting a filling machine from viscosity descriptions alone.
Liquid fillers and cream fillers offer different arrangements. Some configurations cover a useful range, but we need to assess the actual products. The supply route, nozzle and operating conditions must suit both ends of that range. We will identify any changes required instead of assuming a successful trial with one product covers all the others.
Level filling finishes at a defined liquid level in a suitable container. Quantitative dosing targets a set amount through the selected dosing method. Bottle shape affects the quantity contained at a given level, so we review your required quantity and finished appearance together.
A weighing arrangement uses the container's measured weight to determine when the target amount is reached. Other functions depend on the selected machine. Our dual-head benchtop weighing filler, for example, uses independent weighing platforms and manual container placement.
Send a representative sample and describe particle size, shape, concentration and whether pieces must remain intact. We review the pump, valves, hoses and nozzle together. The rotor pump filler with an agitator hopper is one arrangement to assess. There is no single particle allowance that applies to every filling machine.
A diving nozzle moves vertically into and out of a container. A tracking nozzle moves horizontally with a bottle during the filling cycle before returning. These motions support different handling sequences, so we discuss the actual bottle movement as well as the product.
The achieved rate depends on quantity, product flow, container handling and the rest of the line. For paste filling as well as liquids, we discuss output for your intended product and package. A speed measured on one combination should not be used as the prediction for every other format.
Agree on the measurement method, target quantity and operating conditions before the trial. Use representative product and containers, and include enough samples to assess repeated operation. Our filling accuracy testing guide explains the measurement questions to settle with the supplier.
It provides a cutoff function, but the result still depends on the product and setup. Stringing, trapped air, supply conditions and product on the nozzle can affect the finished fill. We look at the actual product during trials and assess cleanliness around the container opening.
Only when closing equipment is included. Some offers cover filling alone; others combine a filler with a separate capper or use a rotary arrangement with both functions. The equipment list should identify cap feeding, placement and tightening separately.
Suitable threaded pumps and triggers can be assessed where the gripping section is regularly round. Irregular closures may need another solution. Send complete bottle and closure samples so we can review tightening, placement and any orientation requirements through our capping equipment range.
Not always. Tightening, feeding and placing closures are separate operations. We confirm which functions are included and which remain manual. A closure change can also affect whether the existing feeding arrangement remains useful.
They are separate operations. The capper tightens the closure; a suitable induction sealing station seals a compatible liner to the container. We need the bottle, cap and liner specifications to assess the additional sealing equipment.
Crimping secures a compatible metal pump ferrule around the neck. Collar pressing fits a decorative component where the package requires it. We match each tool to the actual assembly; our perfume pump crimper and collar press perform those separate tasks.
The confirmed route for our rotary vacuum perfume filler is primarily suitable glass bottles whose mouths can work with the heads and whose construction suits negative-pressure filling. Plastic bottles need a separate assessment. Please send actual production samples before choosing this method.
Tube construction determines the closing method. Compatible plastic and laminate tubes can use hot-air sealing, while aluminum tubes use a folding and crimping route. We select the equipment with your tube samples. The tube material comparison explains the differences.
Our discussed spout pouch arrangement fills a preformed pouch through its fitment and screw-caps it. Forming bags from film or heat-sealing an open pouch body is a different process. The semi-automatic spout pouch machine also relies on manual pouch loading. Our spout pouch filling guide explains the workflow.
We need the complete assembly and the order in which its parts are fitted. Bottle, piston, pump and closure arrangements differ. The outside appearance alone does not establish the required airless filling and assembly sequence.
Different surfaces need different handling arrangements. We review the container, label stock and required position before selecting a labeler. A tabletop round bottle applicator serves a different task from a fixture-based flat-surface machine.
Printing is included only when specified. Tell us what information must appear, where it should be printed and which surface carries it. We can then review the coding stage alongside labeling without assuming the label applicator also prints.
Direct supply can work when the process and schedule allow it. A separate tank may free the mixer for another batch or coordinate packaging, but it adds cleaning and transfer work. We plan holding equipment around the permitted product conditions and your working day.
Bulk transfer and repeatable dosing are different duties. A rotary lobe transfer pump, for example, supplies product between stages; the filler controls the intended quantity. We assess the source vessel, connection route and dosing arrangement as a complete product path.
A basic hopper stores and supplies product. Heating and agitation are additional functions where the product needs them. Our heating, mixing and filling guide covers this coordination. We specify them individually, including any temperature requirement while the product waits for packaging.
Describe the finished product, operating temperature, required flow, particles and the distance and height of transfer. Include cleaning requirements and the source vessel arrangement. Our pump selection guide gives a useful overview before discussing the particular duty.
No. Some equipment is purely electric, while other machines use air for cylinders or other functions. We list the requirements for the selected configuration. Check the whole machine list before sizing the factory air supply and other utilities.
They serve different duties. A chiller supplied for a tube sealing circuit supports that process; it does not establish bulk-product cooling. If the formula needs cooling before filling, we include that as a separate process requirement.
We need source-water information, the required treated-water specification and the working demand. Include formulation water, storage and relevant cleaning demand. Water treatment equipment should be considered with its distribution arrangement rather than by output capacity alone. The cosmetic water treatment guide explains the options.
The intended connection must be specified. Supplying a jacket is different from direct-contact steam, and the required steam specification follows that duty. Tell us which equipment it will serve so the connection and required documentation can be reviewed.
Review electrical supply, compressed air, water, drainage, thermal services and access for the selected machines. The factory utilities checklist helps prepare that discussion. We agree on the equipment-specific requirements and which connections fall within the project supply.
Moisture management is part of planning an air system. Send details of the compressor, treatment equipment and the point where water appears so the arrangement can be reviewed. The compressed-air moisture guide provides background; air used near or in the product needs particular attention in the process specification.
Automatic can describe the filling cycle while container loading remains manual. A conveyor does not itself sort and feed empty bottles. We identify the manual tasks and any additional bottle feeding and line support equipment in the proposed sequence.
List the operations from container entry to finished-pack output: product supply, filling, closure feeding and placement, closing, labeling and downstream handling as applicable. We show the equipment responsible for each task so staffing needs are clear.
It helps when filling is the limiting stage. If product preparation, cooling, cap supply or cleaning holds up the schedule, the bottleneck remains elsewhere. The total cost of ownership guide includes the wider operating picture. We review a realistic shift before recommending a larger filling arrangement.
Often they can, once the interfaces are checked. Send the existing equipment details, heights, connections, controls and available space. Product supply and stop-and-restart behavior matter just as much as whether the machines fit beside each other.
That is worth planning early. We can review where future conveyors, bottle feeding or closing equipment would connect and what space they need. Some original machines may remain useful, while others may become separate stations for short runs.
Yes, provided their operating sequence and interfaces are compatible. Agree on conveyor handovers, signals where required, container presentation and responsibility for each connection. A coordinated equipment list is more useful than assuming every machine can be linked without adjustment.
Within an agreed range, it may. We need samples of each format to assess guides, supports, nozzle positions, caps and labels. Some changes need format parts rather than a simple fill-quantity adjustment.
The word needs a written scope. We agree on the equipment, installation services, utilities interfaces and customer responsibilities for your complete production line. Building work, local services or external treatment equipment should be identified separately where they are outside the supply.
A dimensioned layout is useful, with doors, columns, ceiling height and service locations. Include the routes for raw materials, empty packs and finished goods. For lifting equipment, leave clearance for the raised assembly and routine maintenance access. Our installation planning article covers common site problems.
We can review which stages can be shared and which need separate arrangements. Cleaning, product compatibility and packaging changes determine much of that decision. Skin care products, perfume and toothpaste should have their individual processing routes defined before considering shared equipment.
Metal wetted parts may be stainless steel, but the full product path can also contain tubing, gaskets, seals and other components. We identify those materials for the selected equipment rather than applying the vessel's material description to everything connected to it.
It is one material option, not a complete compatibility assessment. Product composition, temperature and cleaning conditions all matter. Our 304 and 316L comparison provides background; we also review the nonmetal parts in the proposed product path.
Send the relevant formulation and operating information first. Corrosion compatibility and abrasive wear need separate consideration across the mixer, pump, valves and seals. We discuss the appropriate construction and maintenance needs for the duty rather than applying one material recommendation to every chemical.
A spray ball is one cleaning component. A complete duty also involves supply, circulation, return or drainage, controls and the cleaning procedure. The CIP and manual-cleaning article explains the distinction. We list the cleaning functions actually included in the equipment.
They may if compatibility and the factory's cleaning procedure allow it. Frequent color or fragrance changes can make dedicated hoses or other removable parts useful. Accessible construction matters; the cleaning access guide explains why. We review that work with your production and quality team before deciding the shared arrangement.
Material left in hoses, pumps and process connections affects usable output and the work needed for changeovers. This matters especially with small or valuable batches. The product recovery guide discusses the issue; recovery methods should follow your product-handling procedure.
Send the machine model, serial or nameplate details, photographs of the installed part and any part number or dimensions available. This helps us identify the correct version before quoting a replacement. Similar-looking parts may not fit the same assembly.
Availability depends on the part and machine configuration. Contact us with the details and we will check supply and lead time. For equipment that is difficult to source parts for locally, discuss a suitable spare-parts kit when ordering the machine.
We confirm timing after checking the part, stock or manufacturing requirement and destination. For urgent requests, explain the production situation and send identification details straight away. Dispatch and delivery dates depend on the actual supply and transport arrangement.
Each machine needs instructions matched to its installed components. A pneumatic filler, an electric labeler and a homogenizer have different service points. Use the supplied operating guidance and contact us with the model when you need help identifying a maintenance task.
Tell us what you want the trial to demonstrate and what material you can provide. We can then review the equipment, quantity, handling requirements and schedule needed to arrange a suitable test. Availability and the agreed scope are confirmed before samples are sent.
Water does not reproduce every product's viscosity, particles, foaming or cutoff behavior. It can show certain machine movements, but a representative product trial gives more useful evidence for the intended duty.
Supply the complete set used for the intended operation: containers, closures, liners, inserts, tubes, labels or cartons as applicable. We can advise what is needed for the proposed test. Include decorated production samples when their finish affects handling or positioning.
Both can expose different handling requirements. We also look at any format with an unusual neck, shape or closure. Testing only a convenient middle size may miss the guides, supports or tooling needed for another pack.
Supply conditions can differ from steady running. A restart or a nearly empty source vessel can affect the result, especially with viscous or particle-containing products. Include those stages when they form part of normal production.
Formal factory acceptance testing follows an agreed plan, checks and records. A demonstration or routine functional check is a different scope. If FAT is required, tell us during project planning so the procedure, materials and responsibilities can be agreed.
Raise the requirement before order confirmation. We can discuss the inspection scope, access and timing with you and the relevant equipment supplier. Include any required records in the agreement so the inspection is planned into the delivery schedule.
Confirm installation conditions, utilities, assembly and the intended operating sequence before production. Site commissioning also checks the interfaces that were not reproduced during a factory trial. The agreed plan should identify who supplies materials, makes connections and performs the checks.
We confirm the required records and documents with the order. If you need a particular test report, format or set of measurements, provide that requirement before testing. This is more reliable than assuming all machines use the same reporting package.
Discuss the machine and checks you want to see with us. Where a video demonstration can be arranged, agree on what it needs to show. A recording can help review operation, but any formal acceptance requirements still need their own agreed procedure.
Give us the preferred brands and models, if known. We review compatibility and availability for the machine, then confirm the agreed components in the quotation. The motor, PLC, HMI, sensor and pneumatic choices may each need a separate specification.
Output comes from the whole machine and process, not the brand name alone. A component choice may be useful for maintenance familiarity or a required function. We compare what the proposed change actually does for your operation.
Those functions need to be specified separately. Explain what operators must save, recall or record, and whether remote access is needed. We can then assess the controls and interfaces rather than assuming every touchscreen provides the same software features.
We need its control details, photographs, condition and the change you want. Program access, interfaces and mechanical limitations can affect the scope. The equipment retrofit guide outlines the questions to review before deciding whether a control upgrade is practical.
Yes. Where there are practical alternatives, we can discuss the differences in operation, handling, cleaning and supply. Tell us the priorities and budget so the comparison focuses on functions you will use rather than adding options without a purpose. For emulsifying projects, our vacuum mixer buying guide gives a useful starting point.
Tell us the language and which screens or documents need it. We review what the selected control system supports and agree on the translation scope. This requirement is best settled before programming and labeling are completed.
Our main product lines are CE certified. For your inquiry, ask us to confirm the documentation applicable to the selected machine and configuration. The document set needs to match the actual equipment being ordered.
Provide your equipment, cleaning, environmental and documentation requirements for review. We discuss the functions and construction offered for that scope. The manufacturer's process and facility requirements need to be assessed together with the equipment, rather than relying on a general GMP label.
List the manuals, drawings, component information, test records and certification documents your project requires. We confirm the available documents and any additional scope in the proposal. Our equipment procurement guide helps organize the discussion from inquiry to handover.
Look for vessels, pumps, hoppers, supports, cooling units, conveyors, format parts and connecting lines relevant to the process. Confirm their functions as well as their presence. The commercial offer should also identify services and site work outside the equipment supply.
We supply individual machines as well as multi-machine projects. Tell us the task you want to cover now and any planned expansion. That helps us review whether the selected machine can fit sensibly into the next stage of your production.
Start with the product, required batch or filling quantity, daily output and complete packaging. Add the available site services, preferred automation and any required documents. If some details are undecided, tell us what you know and we can identify the remaining questions.
The machine, customization and production schedule determine the estimate. We confirm timing with the scope and order conditions. Mention any installation deadline early so manufacturing, testing, transport and site preparation can be considered together.
Contact us as soon as possible with the proposed change. We review the work already completed and the effect on components, drawings, price and timing. Agree on the revised scope before the change is put into production.
Send the requested branding, labeling and documentation requirements for review. The arrangement needs to be agreed for the selected equipment, including the information that must remain on its identification plates. We confirm the available scope with the order.
The quotation and sales agreement state the payment method, stages and conditions for the order. Confirm those terms before placing the order, including any testing or shipment stage tied to a payment. Ask us to clarify anything that differs between proposed equipment packages.
Tell us the collection or delivery point and the forwarder's requirements. We coordinate the agreed handover arrangement, packaging information and documents within the order scope. The trade term should identify the point at which responsibilities change.
We review the destination, shipment and services available before confirming the arrangement. Ask for the named place, included charges, insurance where applicable and import responsibilities in writing. Door delivery and duty-paid services should be assessed for the specific destination.
Packing follows the equipment's transport and handling requirements, while transit timing depends on the route and carrier. Tell us about site unloading restrictions and any import packing requirements early. We confirm the relevant dimensions, weights and estimated schedule with the shipment arrangement.
Photograph the packaging and equipment, retain the shipping documents and record visible damage with the receiving party or carrier. Contact us and the responsible forwarder promptly. The next steps depend on the agreed transport terms and insurance arrangement.
Remote support includes video communication, manuals, technical guidance and troubleshooting at no additional charge. On-site installation, commissioning, training and maintenance services are available for discussion. We agree on the relevant service scope for the project.
Send the model or nameplate, a clear description, photographs and a short video where safe to obtain. Include alarms, recent changes and what happened before the problem appeared. Email [email protected] so we can review the details and direct the request.
Contact us with the machine details and the assistance needed. Long-term technical guidance remains part of our customer support, while parts, modifications and on-site services are reviewed according to the work involved. We explain the proposed scope before arranging it.
These services are available. Tell us the location, machines and expected work so timing, travel, site readiness and costs can be discussed. The service agreement should also identify the local connections and preparation your team needs to complete.
We can provide operating guidance by video and written instructions. Arrange a session when the equipment and required services are ready, and let us know who will operate and maintain it. We can then focus on the functions and tasks relevant to your machine.
The order agreement confirms the duration, coverage, exclusions and claim procedure. Review these terms for the selected machine before ordering. Parts and service responsibilities should be clear, especially for equipment integrated into an existing line.
Some issues can be assessed through photographs, videos and operating information; others need inspection or work on site. We start with the available evidence and discuss the next step. Avoid continuing to run equipment when the operating procedure calls for it to be stopped.
Confirm that equipment is positioned and the agreed services are ready. Arrange operators, product and packaging for the intended checks. Share the site schedule and any access requirements in advance so the visit can focus on the agreed work.
Send its identification details and photographs of the installed part. We check the version and available supply before recommending a replacement. Where a component has changed, compatibility and any required adjustments need review rather than relying on appearance alone.
Our Knowledge Center contains guides on operation, cleaning and common equipment questions. For example, the vacuum emulsifying mixer maintenance guide provides relevant background. For advice about your own machine, include its configuration and current symptoms when contacting us.
Email your product, equipment interests and preferred meeting times, including your time zone. Let us know whether the discussion concerns a new project or an existing machine. We will confirm a suitable arrangement and the information needed beforehand.
Ask us about the event you plan to attend. We will confirm whether our team will be present and whether a meeting can be arranged. Exhibition schedules and equipment on display vary, so check before planning a visit around a particular machine.
We welcome an introduction to your company, market and relevant technical or sales experience. Describe the role you would like to undertake and the support you can provide. Any representation arrangement is discussed and agreed individually.
Exclusivity requires a separate discussion and written agreement. Send your market proposal and intended responsibilities so the arrangement can be reviewed. An initial inquiry or equipment purchase does not itself establish exclusive representation.
Contact us before making the introduction so the cooperation and responsibilities can be discussed. We assess referral arrangements individually. Share a useful project brief and explain your relationship to the buyer so the follow-up can be organized appropriately.
Email us with the questions most relevant to your project. A product description, packaging photograph and target output are useful starting points. If you are comparing equipment proposals, identify the functions and supply differences you would like us to explain.
