The selection of load cells and modules should take into consideration the size and the construction of the vessels, their environments and the accuracy required.
High load modules such as the KIMD-1 are used for weight and quantity weighing for enormous load ranges. They are statically designed to allow for an installation directly between the foundation and the vessel support structure. They can also record lift off and lateral forces as well as the actual momentum in the pressure axle.
Heavy load modules such as the TWA are used for weight and quantity weighing for medium load ranges. They, too, are statically designed to allow for an installation directly between the foundation and the vessel support structure. They can also record lift off and lateral forces as well as the actual momentum in the pressure axle. They are mainly used in silo weighing for indoor and outdoor installations.
KIS precision modules are used for very precise process control in small, medium and large vessels. All modules of the KIS series stand out due to a unique construction of the load cell. Thus, additional thermal loads as well as large horizontal momentums, such as in furnaces in the steel sector or in mixing machines or stirring devices, are compensated.
Standard modules are used for process control or for simple weighing in small and medium loads. The simple built-in modules consist of a bending or shear beam load cell with a mounting plate as well as a load input with elastomer support. Despite the simple and cost efficient design, they guarantee high accuracy.
