AFFRI Equipment We Repair — By Category
AFFRI Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full AFFRI product range. Below are the major product families we service.
AFFRI Check Weigher Systems
High-speed checkweigher platforms with integrated reject systems for inline quality control. Common issues include load cell drift, display calibration loss, and reject cylinder malfunction under continuous 24/7 operation in food plants.
AFFRI Metal Detection & Foreign Body Systems
Stainless steel metal detectors and X-ray systems for food safety compliance. Typical faults: sensor sensitivity drift, false reject rates, conveyor belt synchronization errors, and loss of communication with PLC interfaces.
AFFRI Weight Display Terminals & Controllers
Digital display units and PLC-based weight controllers with Ethernet, serial, and analog I/O connectivity. Failures include display corruption, sensor signal loss, calibration memory corruption, and communication protocol breakdown.
AFFRI Load Cells & Sensor Assemblies
Stainless steel S-type and compression load cells rated for hygienic washdown environments. Common degradation: moisture ingress causing bridge imbalance, connector corrosion in harsh plant conditions, and zero-drift over time.
AFFRI Sorting & Grading Systems
Multi-lane sorter control electronics and vision-based grading interfaces. Issues: camera focus loss, reject gate solenoid stalling, network latency causing sort errors, and calibration file corruption.

Common AFFRI Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in AFFRI equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓AFFRI check weigher zero drift and accuracy loss — Continuous exposure to moisture, caustic washdown solutions, and thermal cycling in food plants causes load cell bridge resistance imbalance and cable insulation breakdown. Salt and organic residues accumulate on stainless steel strain gauges.
- ✓AFFRI display terminal shows ERR or no weight reading — Loose or corroded connectors between display unit and load cell amplifier board, or microcontroller firmware crash due to power surge during plant electrical fault. Display PCB capacitors can bulge and fail under high ambient temperatures in non-air-conditioned plants.
- ✓AFFRI metal detector false rejects or no detection response — Metal detector coil sensitivity settings drift due to product conductivity variations, ferrous contamination on the coil itself, or electromagnetic interference from nearby motors and VFD drives in the production line. Sensor threshold calibration file becomes corrupted.
- ✓AFFRI reject gate solenoid fails to activate or sticks — Continuous energization of the solenoid coil causes insulation breakdown and winding short circuit. Food residue hardens inside the solenoid plunger cavity, preventing full retraction. High ambient humidity in processing areas causes solder joint cracks on the solenoid drive relay board.
- ✓AFFRI weight display communication timeout with PLC or ERP system — Ethernet cable damage from repeated washdown and steam exposure, RJ45 connector pin corrosion, or firmware version mismatch after plant network upgrade. Modbus RTU timeout settings conflict with plant network bandwidth constraints or packet loss.
- ✓AFFRI sorting system vision camera image blur or calibration loss — Lens contamination from steam condensation and processing dust, camera sensor degradation, or lens focus motor bearing wear after extended high-speed operation. Calibration reference grid becomes misaligned due to mechanical vibration or thermal expansion of the mounting frame.

Frequently Asked Questions — AFFRI Repairs
Do you repair AFFRI equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete AFFRI product range — check weighers, metal detectors, weight display terminals, load cells, and sorting system electronics. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Nashik, Surat, Indore, and all other major cities. All repairs are handled at our main facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with typical turnaround of 5-7 working days.
What is the typical cost and lead time for AFFRI check weigher repair?+
AFFRI check weigher repair costs depend on the fault — load cell replacement ranges from Rs 8,000-15,000, display terminal repair from Rs 5,000-12,000, and full system calibration from Rs 3,000-6,000. Synchronics sources genuine AFFRI spare parts with 6-8 week lead time if not in stock locally. Most repairs are completed within 7-10 days once parts arrive. We provide cost estimates upfront and offer warranty on all repairs.
Can Synchronics help with AFFRI preventive maintenance and calibration?+
Absolutely. Synchronics offers annual preventive maintenance contracts for AFFRI systems, including quarterly load cell recalibration with traceable weights, connector inspection and protection, firmware updates, and performance logging. For food plants requiring FDA or FSSAI compliance, we provide calibration certificates and maintenance documentation. Contact our Vadodara team to schedule an on-site audit of your AFFRI equipment.
How do I know if my AFFRI check weigher needs repair or just recalibration?+
Synchronics can diagnose this remotely or on-site. If the weight display drifts by more than 0.5% of full scale after calibration, or if the accuracy is consistently 50-100 grams off target, the load cell likely needs replacement. If the display is erratic or freezes, the electronics need testing. We perform a free diagnostic to identify whether recalibration, repair, or replacement is needed — often a Rs 2,000-3,000 investment can prevent costly production line downtime.
Do you supply genuine AFFRI spare parts and components?+
Yes. Synchronics maintains inventory of common AFFRI spare parts including load cells, display terminals, sensor cables, solenoid reject gates, and connector assemblies. For unique or obsolete parts, we source directly from AFFRI's European distributors with typical 6-8 week lead time. We also offer compatible third-party upgrades (load cells, connectors, solenoid coils) that meet AFFRI specifications at lower cost. All parts come with quality warranty.
How do I send my AFFRI unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a AFFRI drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on AFFRI repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your AFFRI unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
