Silo weighing made easy - new mounting kit for load cells

June 2025 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

With the PR 6003 mounting kit, Minebea once again underlines its claim to produce leading technologies in silo weighing. The PR 6003 mounting kit impresses with its fast commissioning and combines maximum accuracy with maximum safety in a compact system. Whether up against wind loads, earthquakes or vibrations, the PR 6003 mounting kit guarantees reliable measurements under the toughest conditions. With a nominal load range of 500 kg to 75 tons, the system offers exceptional bandwidth and flexibility. Depending on the environmental conditions, there is a choice between mild steel or stainless steel for additional protection against corrosion. “Our goal was to create a product that is not only technically impressive, but also makes everyday life easier for our customers,” explains Yannick Salzmann, product manager at Minebea Intec.

Maximum safety through certified quality

The PR 6003 mounting kit scores points with permissible horizontal forces of up to 82 kN and an anti-lift device that can withstand forces of up to 120 kN. Minebea Intec also supports its customers with a wind and earthquake calculation tool to optimise the design of silo structures.

Quick to install, durable and reliable

Thanks to sophisticated features, installing the PR 6003 is particularly easy. The dummy function allows installation without a load cell to prevent damage to the load cell. With the optional jack-up tool, the silo can be lifted without an external lifting tool to remove the safety plates. The compact design with a weight of less than 20 kg enables installation by just one person. Once installed, the system is extremely durable and maintenance free. “The new PR 6003 mounting kit is the logical further development of our tried and tested PR 6001,” says Salzmann. “It offers more performance at a more attractive price.”
