Heading 1: Don’t Let a Weak Foundation Ruin Your Packaging Line
When installing a complete packaging system, the small components often determine the long-term success of the project. Specifically, el machine leveling feet carry the entire weight of your pesadora multicabezal y transportadores. If these feet are under-rated for the load, you risk structural sagging or even a dangerous equipment collapse.
Heading 2: Understanding Load Capacity: Static vs. Dynamic Selecting the right foot starts with understanding the weight of your equipment. However, you must consider more than just the static weight.
Static Load: The total weight of the machine at rest.
Dynamic Load: The force generated when the machine is running, such as the vibration of a multihead weigher or the movement of a Z-conveyor. Consequently, we recommend choosing feet with a safety factor of at least 25% above the static weight. Therefore, if your machine weighs 1,000kg, your four leveling feet should be rated for at least 1,250kg combined.
Heading 3: Why M16 and M20 Stainless Steel Feet are Industry Standards? In heavy-duty industrial environments, thread strength is non-negotiable.
M16 Feet: Ideal for mid-sized packaging machines and standard conveyors. Additionally, they offer a perfect balance of cost and strength.
M20 Feet: Necessary for high-output rotary pouch machines and heavy-duty working platforms. Because of the thicker thread, they provide superior resistance to shearing forces. As a result, using the correct thread size ensures that your equipment remains perfectly leveled, which is essential for maintaining weighing accuracy.
Heading 4: The Importance of Floor Contact and Material A small base can damage your factory floor over time. For this reason, our heavy-duty feet feature wide base diameters to distribute weight more evenly. Furthermore, we utilize Acero inoxidable 304 to prevent rust in washdown environments. By doing so, we ensure that your feet remain adjustable and hygienic even after years of exposure to water and cleaning chemicals.
Conclusión The right leveling feet are the foundation of a reliable, high-precision packaging line. If you are unsure which size is best for your system, our engineers can provide a specific recommendation based on your machine’s specs.
