    6.3. Scales with Load-Cell Modules TWM4 scale with load cell modules is intended to carry out mass measurement of silos. Modules are built into construction of ground-fixed silo's support. In most cases, the scale design includes 3-4 load cell modules. The modules, depending on the model, are made of stainless or galvanized steel.

    7.3. Levelling: 4-Load-Cell Platform Scales To level the scale use the levelling feet and the level indicator. Each foot can be turned left and right, turning causes tilt. Adjustment span of the scale level is narrow therefore the correct level is obtained using steel washers which are to be put under the feet.

    10.1. Good Weighing Practice: 1-Load-Cell Platform Scales In order to guarantee a long-term operation, wherein correct measurements are provided, the following principles must be adhered to: Load the weighing pan steadily, avoid applying mechanical shocks. Place the loads centrally on the weighing pan (eccentricity errors are specified by EN 45501 standard, point 3.6.2).
  • Page 18: Zeroing

     pallet scales (load placed on EUR-pallet loaded using pallet truck); middle block of pallet placed on the scale must remain unsupported:  ramp scales (trucks used in meat plants); it is necessary to select platform matching the span of truck casters, this is to make sure that in the case of trucks of weight close to the maximum capacity, the load is transferred onto the platform close to load-carrying sections (profiles): 10.3.
