New from HBM, the PW25 platform
load cell can be hermetically
encapsulated to meet both IP68 and
IP69K for applications in the food
industry or pharmaceutical sector.

The cylindrical design of the
PW25 means it can be cleaned very
easily while the housing is made
completely from stainless steel so
that the load cell is resistant to
cleaning and disinfection agents used
in the food industry.

The platform load cell also
features an integrated overload stop
to prevent damage if
loads are too heavy.

The overload stop is
integrated into the
hermetic
encapsulation
making it impossible
to contaminate the
overload gap.

The PW25 is suitable for all
applications where hygiene is a
particular issue, such as in the
biotechnology, pharmaceutical or
food industry sectors. Specific uses
include, for example, filling and
packaging machines, multihead
combination weighers (MHC) and
static scales.

The new platform load cell will
initially be available with a
maximum capacity of 20kg.
