The Drum Weigher is built for strenuous work and safety. Whether part of a conveyor system or at work by itself in a busy warehouse, the Drum Weigher is the right tool for handling drum weighing, filling, and general weighing applications. The weighing surface is only 11/2" high for easy and safe loading and unloading. Capacity is 1,000 lbs. Features:Safety features - Since the weighing surface is only 1 an inch and a half off the ground, operators safely and effortlessly push loaded carts up onto the scale. Higher profile scales require operators to back blindly onto the scale pulling a loaded cart up a sometimes slippery ramp. Strong, smooth-surfaced side rails protect scale operators from dangerous mistakes, like pushing unwieldy loads off the side of the scale. And Weigh-Tronix builds both the deck surface and the integrated ramps with secure tread-plate. Good footing makes everyone's job easier. And any time you reduce the risk of an accident, you've made money. Use side rails as a weighing surface. Not everything that needs to be weighed is in a drum. Place larger sized objects on the side rails. They are part of the weighing surface. Stainless steel construction - Stainless steel Drum Weighers with stainless steel Weigh Bars are popular in food processing applications. They are also valuable in chemical and other corrosive environments where stainless steel construction will add years of service to the scale. Weigh Bar dependability - The heart of the Weigh-Tronix Drum Weigher is the Weigh Bar, the weight sensor that has come to mean accuracy and long life in the scale industry. The Weigh Bar function is simple. It is an aircraft alloy steel bar, fixed at one end, with strain gauges applied to top and bottom. When a load is placed on the Weigh Bar, the slight bending alters electrical current running between the strain gauges on the bar. The indicator translates changes in current into a weight reading. A sleeve and potting compound seal and protect the steel bar, strain gauges and linking wire harness. In a recent 30-month study of weight sensor failure rates, the Weigh Bar demonstrated itself to be 10 times more reliable than competitive load cells. The industry-wide sensor failure rate is five to eight percent per year. The Weigh Bar failure rate is less than one-third of one percent per year. Depend on Weigh Bar reliability. Factory Mutual approved
The Drum Weigher has Factory Mutual Approval. Use the scale even in hazardous applications involving potentially explosive gases, dust, or fibers. Junction box
Just one more example of the attention to detail that goes into the Drum Weigher. You’ve seen the floor scales that have junction boxes that look like afterthoughts, provide minimal protec-tion and questionable service? The Drum Weigher’s junction box is welded into the deck frame providing both protection for sensitive components and additional strength to the frame. Its removeable coverplate grants easy access for calibration and service, and its gasketed surface seals the box against moisture. Weigh Bar cables entering the box are protected by water-tight hubs. Options:- Attached wheels - Some applications of the scale will call for it to be used in several places. In seconds, you can wind down the optional wheels and roll the scale to any site you need it. The hard rubber wheels can have either stainless steel or mild steel cores. Wheels have 3-inch diameters and 3/4-inch width.
- Indicator column - If your drum weigher is always mated with the same indicator, and you see no advantage to wall mounting the indicator, you can mount the indicator right on the scale. Order your drum weigher with a sturdy indicator column which can be attached to face the indicator in any one of four positions.
