1,800 White Natural Rubber Balls Supplied to a New Customer in Romania
We recently completed an order for 1,800 white natural rubber balls for a new customer in Romania. Each ball was manufactured with a diameter of 26 mm and packed together in one reinforced carton for international express delivery.
The customer initially considered purchasing only a small number of samples because the total cost of the first quotation was slightly higher than expected. After comparing the sample cost, international delivery expense and the expected quantity required for actual use, the customer concluded that placing the full order directly would offer better overall value.
The order was therefore confirmed for 1,800 pieces, allowing the customer to avoid paying for a separate sample shipment before arranging another bulk delivery.

Understanding the Customer’s Requirement
The inquiry came from a new Romanian customer looking for small white rubber balls in a consistent diameter.
Before preparing the order, we confirmed the main specifications, including the material, diameter, color and required quantity. For this project, the customer selected natural rubber, which offers the elasticity and flexibility needed for repeated movement and contact during operation.
Our standard 【26 mm rubber cleaning balls】were suitable for the requested dimensions, so no new tooling or specially developed ball size was required.
This helped shorten the preparation time and kept the project practical for both production and international delivery.
From Sample Discussion to a Direct Bulk Order
At the beginning of the discussion, the customer felt that the overall quotation was slightly expensive and proposed purchasing samples first.
A sample order is often helpful when a customer needs to test an unfamiliar material, confirm product dimensions or evaluate performance in a specific machine. However, international sample shipments can involve relatively high express charges compared with the value of the samples themselves.
After receiving the sample quotation, the customer evaluated:
- The cost of the initial samples
- The international express charge
- The additional delivery cost for a later bulk order
- The total quantity expected for actual use
- The standard availability of the 26 mm size
Following this comparison, the customer decided that ordering all 1,800 pieces at one time was more economical than arranging two separate shipments.
This approach reduced repeated delivery expenses and allowed the complete quantity to be prepared and shipped in one batch.
Production of the 26 mm Natural Rubber Balls
The white rubber balls were produced according to the confirmed diameter and quantity.
During production, attention was given to maintaining a consistent ball shape and a uniform external appearance. Because rubber products naturally have a certain degree of elasticity, dimensional inspection must be carried out using suitable methods without applying excessive pressure to the product.
The finished balls were collected in clean containers before final counting and packing.
For customers requiring balls for vibrating screens, sieves or other screening equipment, material and size should be selected according to the machine structure, operating temperature, processed material and required elasticity.
Our rubber cleaning balls for vibrating sieves are available in several standard diameters and material options for different screening and industrial applications.
Counting and Quality Inspection
Before packing, the rubber balls were checked for:
- General diameter consistency
- Ball shape and surface condition
- Visible deformation or damage
- Color consistency
- Final order quantity
The customer required 1,800 pieces, so the products were counted before being transferred into the final carton.
We also took production and packing photographs to document the order status. These updates helped the customer understand that the products had been completed and were being prepared for shipment.
For new international customers, clear production updates are especially useful because they make the purchasing process more transparent and reduce uncertainty before dispatch.
Protective Packing for International Express Delivery
All 1,800 rubber balls were packed in one carton.
A plastic liner was placed inside the carton before the balls were loaded. This inner liner helped keep the products clean and protected them from dust or moisture during handling and transportation.
The final package information was:
- Carton quantity: 1 carton
- Gross weight: 18.6 kg
- Carton size: 500 × 350 × 240 mm
- Total product quantity: 1,800 pieces
After loading, the carton was closed securely and reinforced with packing tape. A shipping mark was attached to the outside showing the product description, diameter, quantity, package number, destination and country of origin.
Because the shipment was compact and weighed less than 20 kg, express delivery was a suitable option for this order. It allowed the goods to be transported directly from China to the Romanian customer without waiting for a consolidated sea shipment.
Why Natural Rubber Balls Are Used in Screening Equipment
Natural rubber balls are commonly installed below the mesh surface of vibrating sieves and screening machines.
During operation, the balls move and repeatedly contact the underside of the screen. This movement can help dislodge particles that might otherwise remain trapped in the mesh openings.
Depending on the equipment and material being processed, suitable sieve-cleaning components can help:
- Reduce mesh blockage
- Maintain material flow
- Improve screening continuity
- Reduce manual screen cleaning
- Support stable equipment operation
Ball diameter, hardness, elasticity and material should always be selected according to the actual application.
In addition to natural rubber, other materials may be considered when the equipment operates at higher temperatures or when the processed product has special hygiene or material-contact requirements.
Customers who are uncertain about the correct option can send us the required diameter, working temperature, application and expected quantity. We can then recommend a suitable rubber ball material and size.
For customers sourcing additional parts for bucket elevators, our bucket elevator component solutions cover a wider range of elevator buckets, fasteners, belts and related accessories.
A Smooth First Order with the Romanian Customer
Although the customer initially considered ordering samples, clear communication helped them compare the complete cost of the two purchasing options.
Since the required 26 mm diameter was already within our standard product range and the customer had a clear quantity requirement, direct bulk production became the more practical choice.
The full order was completed, inspected and packed in one carton for delivery to Romania.
This project demonstrates how reviewing the total purchasing and transportation cost—not only the product unit price—can help customers choose a more efficient ordering solution.
