What evidence should be agreed before acceptance testing for seed packing machines?
Before the trial, agree the seed and packet samples, the target weight or count, and what the team will measure. Record which results count as a pass, who checks them and what happens to a packet that fails.
Include a normal run and a change between two representative varieties or pack sizes. Record the first acceptable packet after setup as well as results once the line is running steadily.
For each run, retain the seed and packet description, target quantity, actual results, output and any rejected packets. Record the feed or fill settings alongside the measurements so the comparison can be repeated.
Discuss your application
Describe how you observe or measure finished-pack checks and reject handling in your operation, including sample condition and any measuring limits. For a project focused on seed weighing and packet filling, also record the production state in which each observation was made.
For Seed Packing Machines, include normal production conditions, credible extremes, product or part variants and changes over time.
Show which settings, safeguards, maintenance tasks, decisions or required outcomes are affected by changes in finished-pack checks and reject handling.
Identify the sample variety or lot and note the observed condition before and after filling. Keep the record with the settings for that run.
Test the actual packet or container proposed for each format. Record where the empty pack was supported and whether the filled pack could be closed and discharged.
State whether acceptance is based on weight or count. Agree the target, the acceptable range and how many finished packets the team will check.
Record acceptable packs produced during the agreed interval. Keep setup time, stops and rejected packs visible alongside that total.
Time the change from the last acceptable pack of the first variety to the first acceptable pack of the next. Note how the team checked that the previous seed was cleared.
Choose a known out-of-limit example and agree how it will be identified and set aside. Record the check and the person responsible for authorising release.
