Service, Support and Training
Service
Web Tech AutoWeigh provides both on-site and in-house service facilities for all of our equipment. We strongly suggest that any new equipment purchased from Web Tech be initially setup and commissioned by Web Tech or an authorised service provider. Training of your own staff and or contracted staff can take place at the same time if requested.
While many technicians may be qualified in certain areas, there is no substitute for the expertise we have in our own products. In some cases equipment installed or serviced by non-Web Tech staff may wrongly be diagnosed as faulty. Most equipment installed by Web Tech has been sized for the application and there have been instances where contractors have moved, or tried to modify equipment where there has been no requirement.
Contact us for more information regarding equipment and service Web Tech AutoWeigh provides.
The following should be noted:
Conveyor Belt Scales
One of the most important aspects of any conveyor belt scale installation is the mechanical alignment of the weigh idlers and associated approach and retreat idlers. “Close enough” is not acceptable in these instances. We strongly recommend that Web Tech Autoweigh or an authorised service provider supervise the initial mechanical installation and alignment of the equipment.
Loss in Weight, Weigh Feeders, Vibratory, Gravimetric and EasyFlow Feeders
LIW feeders & Weigh Belt feeders are generally calibrated and commissioned in our factory prior to shipping. However, we cannot duplicate the exact running conditions of the equipment once installed. Minor adjustments such as PID loop tuning and hopper refill parameters may need refining. It is also very important that product is run over the system when commissioning on-site, before dispatch and ideally for some applications, prior to manufacture to achieve the desired results.
Onsite supervision of the installation is recommended.
Web Tech Autoweigh or an authorised service provider should carry out final on site commissioning. This applies in particular to specialised applications
Metal Detectors
Metal detectors are setup prior to dispatch, to factory specifications; these specifications may not be duplicated in a site environment. Tuning the metal detector to size and belt speed is vital for accurate detection. It is recommended that Web Tech Autoweigh carry out commissioning prior to running the unit.
Bin Level Weighing/Load cells and Batch control
These units have factory settings however these units will need to be commissioned onsite in the actual environment to be the most accurate. In particular if the Kistler Morse Microcell or bolt on cell is damaged during installation, the system will be inaccurate.
Welding within close proximity and lightning can also damage load cells.
Cutting load cell cable/ splicing will also void the warranty.
Service Contracts
Web-Tech can provide a service contract tailored for the equipment, application and location.
This ensures that the Conveyor Belt Scale, Weigh Belt Feeders, Loss in Weight Feeders and Bin level/Load cell based systems perform to the required accuracy.
Service contracts provide:
- Calibration corrections
- Routine maintenance
- Provide preventative measures
- Reduce costly downtime due to breakdowns
- Reduce premature failures
Service contracts are priced based on the site location, equipment type and frequency of visits.
Site visits are based on 3 monthly, 6 monthly or yearly intervals.
Please contact Web-Tech if you require further information.
