Changeparts are a key element in the successful, efficient production on a packaging line. The best advice I can offer to anyone fortunate enough to be given the task of ordering container handling changeparts is "if in doubt, ask". Keep notes of any issues encountered in order that you can learn from experience. Always be aware that an OEM is more concerned with the primary functional operation of their machine and the container handling parts, although important, are lower down their list of priorities. If you can form a good relationship with a reliable container handling changepart supplier and pass on accurate information then the number of problems, or unwanted surprises, will be minimised. Your supplier can virtually run that part of the project for you and using their skills, knowledge and experience will often anticipate or highlight potential issues.
