Direct weighing technology with a very high capacity
Schenck Process
The latest generation of this company’s SensiQ WB weighbeam technology (photo) is said to be the world’s highest capacity loadcell, with a nominal capacity of 600 metric tons (m.t.), and can be installed by simply bolting into the given steel structure. This makes it suitable for hopper scales with a total weight of up to 2,500 m.t., as well as for hoppers in train loading systems. The latest SensiQ WB development has an expanded operating temperature range between –40 and 180°C, an improved accuracy of 0.07% across the entire load range, and meets IP68 requirements according to ANSI/IEC 60529. The weighbeams connect directly inside the given structure without moving parts and transmit all disturbance forces and moments with minimal measuring-value interference. — Schenck Process GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany
