Sartorius is now offering a range of silo weighing products especially designed to meet the extreme requirements of earthquake-endangered areas.
The construction of the Seismic Mount series loadcell mounting kit offers maximum security while enabling the tilting of the loadcells caused by thermal or mechanical expansion or contraction of the silo or its supporting structure, according to the company.
In this way, the risk of error as a result of these movements is reduced and reliable weight readings are ensured.
The loadcell dummy provided with the mounting kit enables straightforward installation, even without a loadcell, as overload or welding currents that are common during the installation of silos may often damage or destroy this cell.
In addition, the mounting kits of the Seismic Mount series feature well-dimensioned lift-off protection.
These mounting kits are said to be completely maintenance free and are available for loadcell capacities ranging from 20t to 520t.
The kits ensure security even when exposed to extreme horizontal and high lift-off forces.
Seismic Mount ensures that users obtain the best weighing performance as each kit is matched to the loadcell and weighing application.
