Preventative Maintenance
To maximize performance of the Motoweigh dynamic in-motion checkweighing system a few simple steps will
help extend the life of the product and will maintain performance.
•
Grease all bearings on the conveyor system
•
Check the belt tension and alignment of the conveyors periodically to ensure maximum scale and
conveyor performance. Belt tension can be adjusted on the idler end if needed.
•
Check the setscrews on the driveshafts.
•
Once the numbers are set in the integrator (DSCI), keep those numbers documented in a manual that is
accessible to maintenance personnel at all times so they can be re-entered if necessary.
•
Photo eyes and reflectors must be kept clean and free of debris. They should also be properly aligned for
optimum scale performance.
•
The conveyor equipment is wash-down rated, but extreme water pressure should be avoided around the
electrical components of the unit.
