COLUMBUS, Ohio (July 5, 2006) - The new GAGEMOUNT weigh module is available in 20, 30, 50 and 100 ton capacities. The compact design allows for simple, economical conversion of tanks, hoppers and silos into weighing systems.Comprehensive solution for optimum weighing performanceThe GAGEMOUNT weigh module is a self-contained weighing solution that requires no external checking. The integrated check-rod resists side forces generated by internal or external sources such as mixers, blenders, wind, etc. The optional anti-uplift protection device helps prevent the tank system from tipping. The GAGEMOUNT offers stability along with optimum weighing performance.The GAGEMOUNT mounting hardware is available in nickel plated mild steel or electropolished stainless steel, making it suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries.“The GAGEMOUNT combines comprehensive solutions on a global basis,” commented Industrial Market Manager, Mark Morris. “It has been proven world wide. Having global approvals allows integrators and OEMs to sell anywhere in the world and service is also easy.”Combining the standard GAGEMOUNT features with the CalFree programming in our new Industrial terminals results in a high performance weighing solution with low cost of ownership for tank and hopper applications.Global applicationThe standard model 0782 stainless steel hermetic load cell can be used in legal-for-trade and hazardous area applications. All load cells are manufactured to weighing standards OIML R60 for Europe and NTEP HB44 for USA. In addition, all load cells are manufactured to Hazloc standards ATEX 95 for Europe and Factory Mutual for North America. Both the GAGEMOUNT and 0782 load cell can be used in many applications worldwide, simplifying the support of global business and service-part stocking.“The 3390 GAGEMOUNT combines comprehensive solutions on a global basis,” commented Industrial Market Manager, Mark Morris. “It has been proven world wide. Having global approvals allows integrators and OEMs to sell anywhere in the world and service is also easy. Using the optional spacer plate, a load cell can be serviced by simply jacking up the vessel enough to relieve pressure off the module assembly, typically 1/16 inch. After properly supporting the vessel, the spacer plate can be slid out to allow easy removal of the free floating load cell.”Global service networkMETTLER TOLEDO’s global presence guarantees quick response times and fast availability of spare parts.
