Here are some configuration examples based on your application environment:
Chemical and Hazardous Environments
For chemical and hazardous manufacturing environments, corrosive materials and safety are top concerns. Maximize uptime and compliance with hazardous areas standards with this robust configuration:
- Stainless or mild steel platform
- Rocker pin suspension
- AJB579 Ex-approved stainless steel junction box
- 0745A stainless steel load cells
Pharmaceutical
For pharmaceutical manufacturers, quality and compliance are key. Limited space, repeatable measurements, and cleaning can be challenging. Ensure compliance with this smart configuration:
- Stainless steel smooth plate
- Rocker pin suspension
- ACW520 Cable-Free junction box
- 0745A stainless steel load cells
Food
For food manufacturing environments, productivity and hygiene are key. Heavy wash-down and temperature changes can lead to high maintenance costs. Stand up to the harshest environments with this rugged configuration:
- Stainless steel pattern plate
- Rocker foot suspension
- AJB579d SICSpro junction box
- 0745A stainless steel load cells
General Manufacturing
Heavy duty applications require the toughest scale. Forklift traffic, heavy loads, and forceful impacts create havoc with sensitive measurement devices. Choose a configuration that can stand up to the daily rigor:
- Mild steel platform
- Rocker pin suspension
- AJB459 junction box
- SLB415 nickel-plated load cells
