The Canister range of Compression load cells and weighing assemblies are designed for very high capacity industrial weighing applications. Uses include silo weighing, test machines and bridge monitoring applications.
The Canister load cell is manufactured from stainless steel, with the loading assembly constructed from mild steel and coated with a high durability (C3), protective finish.
Capacities from 100,000kg to 350,000kg with ATEX option available for hazardous areas.
100,000kg, 150,000kg, 200,000kg, 250,000kg and 350,000kg.

For a true zero calibration, it is necessary for the silo or vessel to be empty. However, a comprehensive health check, service, and calibration can be performed with material in the silo or vessel using the original zero calibration values. During this process, we meticulously cross-check each load cell signal and balance against previously recorded values to identify any issues such as drifting or shock loading.
Our engineers are strategically positioned across the UK to ensure prompt responses when needed. Customers with a service agreement benefit from preferential call-out rates and response times. For more information, please contact ServiceDesk@aw.co.uk
Load cell cables can be cut to tidy the installation. However, it is advisable to ensure that each load cell in the system has cables of similar length. This helps maintain uniform load cell sensitivities and prevents potential cornering issues.
No. Each load cell in a weighing system should have the same capacity. Using load cells of different capacities will result in varied outputs among the load cells, causing weighing errors.
The calibration frequency will depend on your system and application; also, on your ISO requirements, if any. As a standard the calibration is carried out once a year, with more frequent checks on systems and more often recalibration if necessary.
