AIKON Article Details

Most quotation delays happen before model selection really starts. If the basic project inputs are incomplete, the technical team has to spend the first round of follow-up just reconstructing the application. A short checklist usually speeds up both product matching and pricing response.

Share the required flow rate and total head first. Even an estimated working range is more useful than a broad request for the 'best pump' because it narrows the hydraulic selection immediately.

If the system has variable duty points, list the normal operating point and the maximum expected condition separately.

The liquid medium affects material selection, seal arrangement, and pump structure. Mention whether the fluid is clean water, wastewater, corrosive liquid, hot water, or contains solids or fibers.

If temperature, viscosity, or particle size is unusual, include that in the first message.

Motor configuration cannot be finalized without power supply data. Send the local voltage, frequency, and phase information so the quotation does not need to be revised later.

Indoor or outdoor installation, suction lift limits, pipe layout, available footprint, and altitude all influence the final recommendation. These details help avoid selecting a model that fits hydraulically but not mechanically.

Mention whether the system runs continuously, intermittently, or under variable demand. If the project needs constant pressure control, alternating duty, or remote monitoring, that should be included before the quotation stage.

A piping sketch, panel photo, or equipment-room picture often answers questions faster than a long message thread. It is one of the easiest ways to shorten technical clarification.

If you send these six inputs in the first inquiry, AIKON can usually move faster from general discussion to model matching, technical confirmation, and quotation support.
