The VC 3500 and LCM 460 are heavy-duty modules for weighing silos, hoppers, tanks and mixers. The special construction of the modules permits installation directly between the foundation or substructure and hopper support. The module ensures the optimal force transmission and a very high lift-off and lateral load safety – normally without additional transverse link and captivation mechanics.
For nominal loads from 2 up to 200 t.
Use:
– Fill level and inventory control
– For mixer and hopper with agitator
– For bunker, also with discharge bottom
– Particularly for installations in outdoor areas
– For precise silo weighing
Benefits:
1. Measuring accuracy
– Both modules are equipped with high-precision double shear beam load cells made of stainless steel. The LCM 460 even has an OIML R60 approval C3 for nominal loads up to 20 t. The construction of the module provides optimum force transmission into the load cell, thus ensuring reliable and exact weighing results.
2. Safety
– The special construction of the modules protects the load cell from high lift-off and transverse loads, thus ensuring the installation of the weighing module directly between foundation and tank support. No additional transverse and captivation mechanics is required. Slight tilting can also be compensated.
3. Protection
– Locking screws in the upper section of the module protect the load cell from such shock loads as may occur upon installation of the silo. An additional ground strape serves as overvoltage protection.
4. Easy replacement of load cell
– The load cell is installed in the module in such a way that the load cell can be replaced also without removing the module.
MTS offers numerous load cells and modules for silo and hopper weighing. Load cells and modules are selected according to the design, size and construction of the containers, the installation and environmental conditions and the required accuracy.
