6.3.2 Scale Does Not Return to Zero
If the scale reading does not return to zero after package has been removed from the spout, check the
following items:
1. Check the calibration of the TE100. Refer to Chapter 3.6 Calibration.
2. Check for anything that might interfere with the natural motion of the spout. Any items, such as
cords, hoses, etc., that would impede or change the movement of the spout must be removed.
3. Check spout to make sure it is not rubbing on the scale cabinet. If the spout touches the scale
cabinet, it will cause the inconsistent weighments.
4. Check to see if product is building up and sticking inside the spout.
6.3.3 The Machine Is Unable To Auto Correct To The Target Weight
If the auto-correct feature is unable to adjust the fill cycle so that the package weight matches the desired
target weight, follow the steps below:
1. Adjust the offset for the automatic weight correction feature. Refer to 3.6.4 Adjusting Density
Correction Setting.
2. Adjust the actuation speed of the shut off gate. Adjust as necessary. Refer to 7.2.4 MAC Valve
Flow Control Adjustment.
6.3.4 The Weighments Fluctuate Between Too Light and Too Heavy
If the TE100 is inconsistent in delivering package weights, and the weights are always either too heavy,
or too light, follow the steps below:
1. Verify that the product flow is consistent and stable.
2. Check for consistent head pressure of product above the machine. Head pressure is the amount
of product that is always in the hopper immediately above the TE100. It is very important to
keep the TE100 from running out of material. As the TE100 runs out of product the weighment
accuracy will vary widely. A good rule of thumb is to have enough product in the hopper to fill
approximately 20 packages at all times. This amount may vary slightly depending upon product
characteristics.
3. Check the calibration of the TE100. Refer to Chapter 3.6 Calibration.
