A product name and aperture are rarely enough for a replacement polyurethane screen panel quotation. The first RFQ should identify what the panel must fit, what it must screen and which commercial conditions matter.

Use this checklist with the Polyurethane Screening Media product family and the mining, quarry and aggregate application context.

1. Buyer and destination

Provide the buying company, country and delivery destination, together with the person responsible for technical and commercial follow-up. Destination affects the delivery discussion and helps keep quotations comparable.

2. Product and equipment context

State whether the enquiry is for a direct replacement, a trial, a new deck arrangement or continuing demand. Include the screen make, model and deck reference where known. If the reference is uncertain, say so and provide equipment photographs.

3. Panel geometry and aperture

Record the physical requirement

  • Overall length, width and thickness
  • Aperture size, shape and orientation
  • Module layout or pitch where relevant
  • Edge and underside profile
  • Fastening, rail, pin or locking arrangement
  • Drawing revision or measurement method

4. Application and screening duty

Name the material being processed and whether the operation is wet or dry. Describe the screening objective and any current concerns such as wear, impact, blinding, pegging or maintenance frequency. Do not infer a material grade or performance target from a photograph; list it as an open point when it has not been confirmed.

5. Reference evidence

Attach or identify the evidence available for the next exchange: a dimensioned drawing, panel photographs, deck photographs, an equipment manual reference or a physical sample. The public Youketong form does not accept uploads; after first contact, agree the business channel for document exchange.

6. Quantity, timing and commercial basis

Give the required quantity or an honest estimate, whether a trial quantity is acceptable, the required arrival or production timing, destination and any inspection-document needs. If Incoterms, packaging or other commercial conditions are important, state them explicitly rather than assuming a default.

7. Questions an RFQ should invite

A good RFQ makes technical gaps visible. Ask the responding party to confirm the proposed panel construction, compatibility basis, open dimensions, inspection approach, offer validity and delivery basis. This creates a reviewable comparison between offers.

Copy-ready RFQ sequence

Application → equipment/deck → panel dimensions → aperture → fastening/interface → drawing/photo/sample status → quantity → destination → timing → open questions.

Before you send

  • Use the same units throughout the drawing and email.
  • Label photographs and show scale where dimensions matter.
  • Separate measured values from nominal or assumed values.
  • Confirm the latest drawing revision.
  • Keep confidentiality-sensitive files for an agreed channel.
