Decommissioning and disposal
If you no longer need a safety weighing enclosure and wish to disassemble it, you should
observe the following points to avoid any risk of contamination.
Improper disassembly and disposal of contaminated safety weighing
enclosures and installed accessories may result in significant contamination
hazards during disassembly or subsequent storage. This can result in
contamination of employees and emissions of hazardous substances into the
environment.
Be sure to disassemble and dispose of the unit properly. We are happy to
support you.
Dismantling by a1-envirosciences
Preferably commission a1-envirosciences GmbH with the dismantling. We can also help you
with proper disposal.
a1-envirosciences GmbH has very well trained service technicians who are very familiar with
the hazards and the increased risk of contamination.
Dismantling on your own initiative
If dismantling by a1-envirosciences GmbH is not possible, it is essential that you observe the
following:
The enclosure must be completely decontaminated on the inside and the outside! In
doing so, also clarify whether the substances used in the enclosure can be
completely dissolved with the decontamination agent you are using (e.g. alcohol-
based solvents).
Do not remove the hoses from the enclosure!
Hermetically pack the complete enclosure incl. the filter unit and dispose of it. Find
out from the local waste disposal company responsible for you how this enclosure
unit could be disposed of and what costs arise for disposal. Ideally, they will provide
you with an appropriately large container to put the entire enclosure in without
dismantling.
a1-envirosciences GmbH will be happy to advise you in such a case of disposal.
