Air Compressor Import Inquiry Form Checklist
A good import inquiry form keeps the first conversation practical. It collects the facts needed to discuss compressor type, pressure range, electrical setup, site limits, and follow-up without forcing the buyer to choose a model too early.
Quick answer
Ask for required flow, working pressure, voltage, frequency, phase, running hours, application, site photos, installation place, existing machine nameplate if it is a replacement, and buyer contact details. Leave model choice open until these facts are checked.
Start with air demand and pressure
Flow and pressure decide the basic range. Ask whether the buyer knows air consumption in m3/min, CFM, or by tool count. If the buyer only knows the old compressor power, treat it as a clue, not as the final selection basis.
Capture site and electrical limits
Record voltage, frequency, phase, cable distance, ventilation, dust, temperature, altitude, and whether the unit will run on grid power or generator power. These details can change the recommended configuration before the quotation sheet is prepared.
Ask for photos that shorten the review
Useful photos include the old machine nameplate, air receiver, dryer, electrical cabinet, installation area, and connected equipment. Photos reduce back-and-forth and help the distributor notice missing details before the order is discussed.
Keep the form simple enough to use
A form that is too long will not be used by the sales team. Keep the first version to the questions that change selection. Put optional engineering notes in a second section for projects that need deeper review.
FAQ
Should the buyer choose the model on the first form?
Usually no. The form should collect selection facts first. Model discussion comes after air demand, pressure, electrical data, and site conditions are checked.
What if the buyer only knows horsepower?
Use horsepower as a starting clue, then ask for pressure, air tools, running hours, and the old machine nameplate.
