6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Maintenance of the weighing platform is limited to regular cleaning. The procedure depends on the type of surface
and on the ambient conditions prevalent at the installation site.


Avoid falling loads, shocks and lateral impacts!

The load plate of the weighing platform is the active weighing
component, the approach ramps are passive, i.e. in the weighing
operation all wheels of the conveying vehicle must be on the load
plate.

The air gap between load plate and the approach ramps must be
free. It is thus essential, particularly when weighing granular or small
sized weighing samples, to check the gap at regular intervals and
keep it free.
Cleaning the VFP (painted steel version) in a dry environment:

Wipe with a damp cloth.

Use only common household cleaning agents.

Never use water or high pressure cleaners!
Cleaning the VFS (stainless steel version) in a wet environment:

Water jet up to 60° C.

Use only common household cleaning agents.
Cleaning in a corrosive environment

Water jet up to 60° C.

Ensure that corrosive substances are removed at regular intervals.

Treat with the enclosed universal oil as necessary.
Cleaning of recessed weighing platform

Always keep gap (1) between weighing platform and base frame free
from dirt.

Remove fairly large dirt deposits on the pit bottom (2) at regular
intervals.
Cleaning the interior

When necessary, remove dirt and deposits in the interior of the
weighing platform by blowing off dirt, or rinsing by water jet

Remove dirt particles in the gap (3) between the overload protection
of the force transducer and the load plate by using compressed air.

Lubricate contact surfaces (4) and O-rings of the load supports if
3
required.
