Single point load cells

Ideal for weighing on small hoppers and vessels, scales or conveyor belts from 5 to 150 kg

SPSX digital single point load cell 640x360

Robust and hygienic solution

The Alfa Laval weighing system UltraPure is a comprehensive solution for hygienic process weighing and measurement of liquid level, mix ratios, dosage or batching.

With its patented technology, making mounting kits unnecessary, quick and easy set-up is utilized, enabling a faster and more cost effective installation process. No need for mounting kits and a complete laser welded construction makes the weighing system an ideal choice where the production environment is hosed down on a daily basis.

Quick and easy set-up

the pre-callibration of the Alfa Laval Load cells elimininated the need for on-site clibraiton in many applications

Mechanical protection devices are not necessary when installing Alfa Laval digital load cells. This is not only an important cost and maintenance sac,er but also allows for a hygienic installation.

High weighing accuracy

Weighing accuracy depends largely on the selection of a top-quality load cell for your weighing system installation. Alfa Laval provides you with two standard accuracy ranges 0.05% and 0.025 % that cover a total measurement range from 0 to 150 kg.

Product Benefits

  • Robust and hygienic solution
  • Quick and easy set-up
  • High weighing accuracy

How it works

Operating principle

The Alfa Laval shockproof digital load cells are based on a patented capacitive measurement principle where a non-contact capacitive sensor is mounted inside the load cell body.

Each weighing system consists of: Several load cells, including load cell modules, an electronic output module, which can be either analogue or digital and control modules for the load cells and cable. To ensure robust and reliable connection between the tank and the load cells, Alfa Laval offers an additional range of tank legs that fits to the load cells.

When a load is applied, a portion of the load is transmitted to each load cell, which sends an electrical signal proportional to the load sensed to the control module. The control module converts the signals to an accurate weight reading.

The Alfa Laval Weighing System with Compression Load Cells features patented digital capacitive technology that has a non-contact capacitive sensor mounted inside the load cell body.

Factory pre-calibration does away with time-consuming onsite adjustments during commissioning. No costly, complicated mounting kits, stay rods or overload protection devices. Just precise load cell weighing and management at its best.

When a load is applied, a portion of the load is transmitted to each load cell, which sends an electrical signal proportional to the load sensed to the control module. The control module converts the signals to an accurate weight reading.

Because there is no contact between the capacitive sensor and the load cell body, the load cells are largely unaffected by overload, side loads, torsion, shocks and welding voltages. This makes straightforward mechanical load cell installation possible. A proprietary application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) in the load cell converts, compensates and calibrates the output from the ceramic load cell weight sensor, enabling plug-and-play operation and accurate compression load cell measurement.
