One of the challenges of industrial weighing applications is the presence of flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dusts within the operating environment.
These conditions create explosion risks and are generally referred to as ATEX applications; applications governed by regulations for equipment intended for use in explosive atmospheres and which requires a minimum level of safety for the protection of workers.
Applied Weighing is a certified manufacturer of ATEX compliant products for use in ATEX applications and has a nationwide service network to commission and support the ongoing maintenance and calibration of these ATEX systems.
Recently, Applied Weighing completed the commissioning of several vessel weighing systems within a new multi-million pound production facility, which incorporated ATEX load cells and weighing controllers. Given its versatility and durability, the “Compact” range of loading assemblies was chosen for use with ATEX rated junction boxes and weighing controllers. These controllers communicate with the customer’s central control system and also provide site operators with a safe and reliable visual display of the weight of their materials.
