Accurate High Capacity Weighing in harsh conditions.
Thames Side’s ultra-high capacity compression load cell
assembly for tank, silo and vessel weighing, the T30LA,
is now available in a comprehensive range of capacities up
to 600 tonnes.
It features integral lift-off prevention, and can readily accommodate
misalignment and movement, ensuring consistent, accurate
results in the most arduous of tank and silo weighing applications.
The T30 load cell is available in capacities of 100, 200, 300 and
600 tonnes. It is an alloy steel, zinc plated, compression load cell
which is supplied with a complete locked assembly ready to install.
The design of the load cell and assembly removes most of the
traditional problems encountered by engineers installing high
capacity weighing systems.
The special mounting plates readily accommodate steelwork
misalignment and also movement due to thermal expansion
and contraction. In addition, the integral lift-off protection means
that the assembly can be used in exposed installations that are
subject to strong winds.
The T30LA is also highly resilient in harsh conditions. The load
cell is construction sealed to IP67 and the assembly has a
toughened ‘autophoretic’ surface coating. The coating is
extremely hard and corrosion-resistant, yet ductile enough
that it will not crack or flake under heavy loads or stresses.
