Yeah; the language was almost fine, but every few seconds my brain went "uhhh... what?" I almost couldn't tell you what was wrong, but it was clearly wrong.

  Yeah, even if we accept "creepy robotic recitation" as an unavoidable overarching style, there are errors like: > Automatic vacuum-type with quantative [quantitative] soybean deliver [delivery]. > Water level control - It can control the soaking time and auto-washing remove [removes] impurities. > Quantative [Quantitative] soybean and water feeding can stable [stabilize] soymilk concentration control.

    Quantitive is actually a word: https://grammarist.com/usage/quantitative-quantitive/ https://grammarist.com/usage/quantitative-quantitive/

      In this context (international sales of heavy machinery), I'd argue "quantative" is a mistake even if it were "legitimate but rare". That said, I think there's still a strong case it's an ancient-mistake in general. Not only is it missing from some spell-checkers, but it appears so extraordinarily rarely [0] compared to "quantitative" that it's hard to see it as a synonym rather than a typo.
