Weighing solutions for wash down

March 2012 Mass Measurement

Low profile BM24R and BM6G load cells now with OIML approval.

Richter Scale has announced its newly approved BM24R and BM6G load cells. The BM24R cell is an excellent solution for the most harsh wash down and hazardous environments, in the food, chemical and process industries. The load cell has been awarded the OIML R60 C3, C4 and C5 approval. Capacities from 60 kg to 60 t are available with a complete set of mounting accessories. Other features include:

* Stainless steel housings.

* Hermetically sealed IP68 protection class.

* High corrosion protection.

* Laser welded diaphragms.

* Glass to metal cable entry.

* Low profile.

The BM24R tank-mount together with the BM24R product family provide a low profile weighing assembly suitable for process control, batch weighing, silos and belt scale applications. The stainless steel design with rocker-pin load introduction guarantees long-term reliability even in the harshest environments. The mount design tolerates controlled movements in all directions and eliminates the need for check rods unless major load movement is anticipated. The design allows the load cell to be placed or replaced after installation of the mount.

The single point load cell BM6G from Zemic is now also OIML R60 approved and capacities from 100 to 500 kg are available. Samples are also being prepared for a future OIML approval for the capacities 10 to 50 kg. The BM6G has been corner corrected to fit platform sizes up to 800x800 mm for 100 to 500 kg.

The unique selling point for this load cell is the combination of stainless steel and IP69K. (IP69K is the classification for devices that can be cleaned by high pressure water jets.) This combination makes it suitable for application in weighing devices used in the food industry. The BM6G has several other approvals amongst them EMC and ATEX.
