Truck scales ensure precise and reliable weight recording in the food industry, among others - crucial for quality control and traceability. For its truck scales, the company “Waagen Dammaschke” relies on the load cell PR 6221 from Minebea Intec, a leading global manufacturer of weighing technologies. 5t load cell
Fast and precise weighing under robust conditions: When it comes to truck scales, the reliability of the technology is crucial for end user satisfaction. Sometimes there is no second scale available and a high volume of traffic could quickly become a problem in the event of a failure. In food production, for example, truck scales are often used at the entrance and exit of plants to precisely weigh trucks carrying raw materials and finished products such as grain, sugar or flour, as well as live animals, meat or liquids of all kinds. A second weighing takes place on departure to document the exact weight of the unloaded materials. This process ensures transparent and complete documentation of the productionchain - essential for quality control and traceability in the food industry.
Waagen Dammaschke has its own concrete mould for precast elements and uses it to offer weighing systems in a wide range of dimensions for customers and other scale manufacturers. The company attaches particular importance to the fulfilment of individual customer requirements. Waagen Dammaschke always relies on the PR 6221 truck scales load cell from Minebea Intec with load levels of 30 tonnes and 50 tonnes and accuracy class C3.
Every load cell from Minebea Intec is precisely calibrated, and many types even have “matched outputs” - i.e. the individual adjustment of the output resistance to match the characteristic value. “With new builds, we see that the load cells are perfectly matched to each other, so that corner adjustment is usually no longer necessary,” confirms Fabian Müller, Managing Director of Waagen Dammaschke. This feature is also a great advantage when it comes to servicing: “For us, the time and effort required for adjustments or maintenance is also decisive. This shows that the load cells require only minimal adjustment, even after years of use.”
The load cell PR 6221 also has a special measuring element that effectively counteracts errors caused by the deflection of the weighbridge - ideal for use in truck scales where heavy lorries can move the weighbridge in the direction of travel. Thanks to the high restoring force, the load cell also quickly returns to its centred rest position. In this way, Waagen Dammaschke achieve excellent repeat accuracy even with heavy-duty floor scales.
Waagen Dammaschke offers precise truck scales, ideal for the food industry in particular, and relies on the load cel PR 6221 l from Minebea Intec with minimal maintenance requirements and high load capacity.
