product brochure. This rating does not reflect factors such as goods type and soil content.
You will get the best performance from your machine if you use the correct load sizes. Under-
loading can make it difficult for the machine to distribute (balance) the goods before extraction.
This can cause excessive recycles (when the machine repeatedly tries to distribute the goods). Oc-
casional small loads may be necessary, but keep these to a minimum. Over-loading can put in-
creased stress on machine components and reduce wash quality.

determine the optimum machine for your needs. This took into account factors such as the types
of goods to be washed and the expected soil content of the goods, which can cause the correct
load size to vary greatly among goods types. For example, the more bulky the goods, the smaller
the permissible load size. The correct load sizes will be what was previously determined when
the machine was purchased. If you do not already have a chart of the goods types to be processed
and their correct load sizes, request one from your supervisor or laundry management.

Weighing Goods
Build loads of the correct size for the best performance from your machine. The most accurate
method to build loads of the correct size is to weigh each load as you assemble it.
You can weigh the goods using a separate laundry scale, weighing-type load conveyor, etc. If
your machine is connected to a Mildata
record the weight of each load so that you can enter it into the Remote Formula window
8: Remote Formula Window, page 17
If your machine is equipped with a flow meter, enter the weight of the load when you start the for-
mula to use Liquor Ratio Control.
Alternatively, machines equipped with the optional weighing system (load cells) can weigh the
goods automatically as you load them into the cylinder.
