Now releasing a new series of digital load cells in a hygienic (aseptic) design for dynamic
weighing, process weighing, filling, packaging and general weighing applications targeted primarily at food
and pharma customers. The EHEDG compliant hygienic design is unique without any exposed grooves,
threads or hidden crevices, facilitating easy cleaning to minimize the risk of bacteria and contamination on
the load cells, thereby ensuring an overall high level of hygiene.
Patent-pending hygienic compression load cells
The new range of compression load cells, type CL and CM, are based on a patent-pending
capacitive sensor design which provides high accuracies and a very high tolerance to overloads and
sideloads.
These features, in combination with the hygienic design that meets EHEDG principles and guidelines,
ensure quick and easy cleaning thereby minimizing the risk of product contamination and maximizing
safety. This reduces the risk of expensive discard or product recall, and production waste is minimized as a
result, which saves time, money and reputation.
The CL and CM range of load cells were developed for use in primarily food, pharma and biotech
installations but can be used in general industry to measure compression loads or forces. The load cells
come in capacities up to 25000kg per load cell and are produced in electro-polished stainless steel while
being hermetically sealed (IP68) by laser welding.
In order to ensure a smooth mechanical installation, the new type CL and CM load cells can be supplied
with a stainless steel base plate that matches the hygienic load cell design and facilitates the installation of
the load cells on almost any surface.
The load cells type CL and CM are ATEX certified for installation in ATEX zone 1, 2, 21 and 22.
