Preventive Maintenance
What to check before a filler or weigher starts diverting production
Weight or volume deviations rarely appear suddenly. They are usually preceded by small symptoms: dripping, variations between cycles, unbalanced printheads, poorly fed product, or unstable readings.
A preventive check should include technical cleaning, load cell verification, pneumatic control, valve condition, line synchronization, and actual product testing.
- Verification of weight/volume tolerances
- Vibration check and feed flow rate
- Checking sensors and alarms
- Review of recipes and active formats
