The Appropriate Workstation for the Machine

Find a stable workspace surface that supports the TDP 5®'s 125 kg (about 275 lbs) weight, such
as a wooden bench (use stainless steel if for food grade industry). Another important thing to
consider is to find a bench that has a suitable working height for you.
Environmental Conditions
It is important that the environment in which you operate and store the TDP 5® has the appropriate
temperature and relative humidity levels. These two environmental factors can potentially cause
the machine to rust and/or cause the tablets to have a lower quality. The table below shows the
acceptable temperature and relative humidity levels:
