Suitable for use in a wide range of production environments, the FIT7A and FIT5A Digital Load Cells from HBM are suitable for where speed and precision is a key consideration. Featuring a class C4 accuracy per OIML R60 and a maximum scale division Y of up to 25,000, the FIT7A addresses the problem of bottlenecks, which can slow down production rates. New technology, incorporated into the FIT7A also means that it is now possible to perform 180 weighings per minute. And where harsh and ambient environments are an issue, the FIT5A from HBM features integrated overload protection and the suitability for legal-for-trade applications per OIML R60 up to 3,000 divisions, ensuring accuracy, reliability and overall safety in heavy-duty production facilities.
The PW25 and the aseptic PW27 range of load cells have been developed to meet the strict hygiene regulations required in production. Designed for use in filling systems and packaging plants, in multi-head combination weighers and static scales, the range is hermetically encapsulated and housed in stainless steel, making it compatible with all cleaning agents and disinfectant agents, commonly used in the production process. Featuring a clean and smooth cylindrical design that is non-absorbent and free from imperfection, such as grooves and gaps, to avoid gathering, the top surfaces of the load cells are also inclined to prevent the collection of dust, product residue or water droplets, reducing the possibility of contamination.
The PW25 and PW27 from HBM are ingress protected to IP68, with IP69 as an option for added protection. Furthermore the hygienic PW27 load cell, which enables efficient and accurate weighing equipment to be used in fields where aseptic production is required, has been developed to meet the guidelines set out by the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design group).
Easily connected to the PAD series of digital transducer electronics this range can be used to accurately digitise signals of analogue load cells or force transducers, even under the harshest of conditions.
HBM will be exhibiting all these products at at this year’s PPMA Total Show on 27-29 September at NEC Birmingham.
