Why Avery Weigh-Tronix uses Zemic load cells in weighbridges

Avery Weigh-Tronix is a leading global provider of innovative weighing solutions and systems for industrial and commercial applications. One of the products they specialise in is weighbridges for weighing vehicles in demanding industrial environments. Weighbridges serve as essential tools for accurately measuring the weight of vehicles, particularly trucks and trailers. Also known as truck scales or loading scales, these robust weighing systems play a critical role in various industries, facilitating efficient logistics and ensuring compliance with weight regulations.

Avery Weigh-Tronix has developed the J-Series Weighbridge. This is a rugged system designed for long-lasting performance in harsh environments such as quarries and waste management sites. A key feature of this system is the use of high-quality load cells.

This case study explores how Zemic load cells, combined with the features of the J-Series Weighbridge, contribute to vehicle weight measurement systems globally.

Which Zemic load cell is being used?

The HM9E load cell was the prominent choice for Avery Weigh-Tronix in the design and manufacturing of their J-Series Weighbridges. These load cells are recognized for their high accuracy, durability, and ability to operate in harsh environments, making them ideal for use in weighbridge systems.

The HM9E dual shear beam load cell has the following characteristics:

• Nickel plated alloy steel dual shear beam load cell.
• High accuracy.
• Suitable for truck and track scales and other heavy weighing devices.
• Hermetically sealed, IP68. 
• OIML approved • Easy integration

The precision of Zemic load cells leads to more accurate weight measurements, improving the overall efficiency of operations. For instance, logistics companies can optimize load distribution on trucks, leading to cost savings and improved safety.

More about J-Series High-sided Weighbridge

The J-Series high-sided weighbridge is engineered for long-lasting performance in tough environments like quarries and waste management sites. Featuring solid steel side beams, it effectively guides vehicles onto the correct position on the bridge, providing enhanced protection for both lorries, drivers and pedestrians around the weighbridge.

The weighbridge’s 60,000 kg load capacity ensures reliable performance when weighing heavy vehicles in demanding conditions.

The J-Series high-sided weighbridge has a strong and rugged design, enhanced by additional steel for durability in the harshest environments, such as waste and aggregate handling.

The combination of strength, safety, and reliability makes the J-Series weighbridge a trusted solution for heavy-duty applications.
