The weighbridge, with its advantages of rapid, simple measurement and weight display, is widely used in industries such as steel, coal, cement, and sandstone, playing an invaluable role in corporate development.

However, many companies, after installing the weighbridge, rarely clean it and are unaware of how to do so. It's only when the weighbridge malfunctions that they remember to repair it, which is incorrect.

Although weighbridges don't often break down, to maximize their utility, we should perform regular maintenance. It's not a problem if you haven't maintained the weighbridge before; now that the New Year's holiday is over, we can start with the weighbridge maintenance! So, how can we properly maintain and care for the weighbridge in daily use to ensure it operates effectively?

How to Maintain and Care for

Summary 1

Those familiar with weighbridges know that they consist of three main parts: the weighing sensor, the display meter, and the weighing body. Regular checks of the waterproofing and dustproofing for these three components are necessary. Failure to inspect and address issues promptly can lead to short circuits or inaccurate weighing due to water accumulation or dust buildup, resulting in significant losses for the company.

Summary II

Inspect for any hard materials such as sand, pebbles, etc., within the gaps between the weighing bodies. If found, they need to be cleaned. Failure to do so for extended periods may lead to accumulation that can damage the weighing body, causing sensors to malfunction and impacting the accuracy of the weighbridge.

Summarize three

During weighbridge maintenance, inspecting the wiring is also a crucial step. As is well-known, wires can oxidize, so if your weighbridge is installed outdoors and frequently exposed to sunlight and rain, you should simplify the wiring. Otherwise, over time, it can weaken the weighbridge model and reduce its reliability.
