Example RFQ workflow

Custom rubber pad RFQ workflow from drawing and compound notes.

A maintenance team needs custom rubber pads for vibration isolation and wear protection around screening or conveying equipment.

Important note

This is a scenario-based RFQ note for SEO and buyer education. It does not claim a completed customer project or shipment.

Buyer typeMining or quarry maintenance team
Product focusCustom rubber pads, mounts, gaskets, and bonded rubber parts
RFQ challengeRubber parts depend on compound, hardness, tolerance, mold status, bonding, and working condition, so a generic product name cannot produce a reliable quote.

Evidence needed before quote

  • Drawing, worn sample photo, or old supplier specification
  • Compound requirement such as NR, SBR, EPDM, NBR, or PU
  • Hardness, tolerance, and working temperature
  • Metal insert or bonding requirement
  • Mold status, quantity, and expected repeat demand

Review workflow

  1. Confirm whether the part can use an existing mold or needs new tooling.
  2. Check dimensions, hardness, compound, bonding, and application notes.
  3. Separate sample approval from batch production details.
  4. Review packing, marks, and destination before formal quotation.

Manual review outcome

The RFQ gives suppliers enough technical context to review mold path, sample timing, material suitability, MOQ, and batch lead time.

Send the available evidence first. Price, sample, lead time, payment, and compliance details are confirmed manually after supplier review.
