HBM FIT5A Load Cell

A fast digital load cell for precise filling and dosing applications. The integrated algorithms are optimized for automated filling machines, giving an advantage in a fast-paced competitive market. FIT5A is the result of over 10 years close cooperation with global market leaders of filling machines, offering an advanced solution for efficient and hygienic weighing, while adhering to strict industry regulations.

  • Ensuring precise results from 5 kg to 50 kg with C3 accuracy class
  • Made from food-safe stainless steel and having IP 68/IP 69K degree of protection
  • Fully traceable measurements with digital interface RS-485, CANopen or DeviceNet
  • Integrated overload protection up to 1000% of maximum capacity
  • 2 sockets version with 2 inputs, 4 outputs and diagnosis channel, making an additional PLC obsolete.

Description

Premium foods, too, are under increasing price pressure. For the manufacturers of filling machines this means that they need to ensure ever more precise filling to minimize overfill and increase output.

This requirement is met by using weigh fillers based on the FIT5A digital load cell. FIT5A is the result of over 10 years of close cooperation with the market leaders in this industry. Even the smallest detail of this load cell has been optimized for use in this type of machinery.

Specialized to perform batching tasks as well: Integrated filters and a filling algorithm make FIT5A the perfect candidate for batching tasks. It forms the heart of heavy-duty multi-head combination weighers or hopper scales.

Developed for Weigh Fillers

  • Slim design: Minimal space required in rotational fillers
  • IP 68/IP 69K degree of protection even at the connector: The perfect solution for moist climates and high-pressure cleaners
  • Food-safe and corrosion-resistant stainless steel, resistant to strong detergents
  • Integrated electronics allow for maximum precision. Hence: less overfill and more output.
  • Maximum capacities 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg and 50 kg available
  • Compliant with accuracy class C3 (OIML R60)

Robust

  • 1000% overload stability: Should it happen – the load cell even withstands cleaning crews stepping on it when working in a hurry
  • High lateral force stability: Withstands rough handling of bottles
  • Excellent off-center load behavior: Ideal for eccentric intake of bottles (eccentric load application)
  • Connector instead of cable: Fast replacement in case of an emergency

Intelligent

  • FIT5A is capable of autonomously controlling valves and thus taking over the entire filling process: No additional PLC is required
  • Tried and tested filling algorithm providing many specialized functions (such as bottle breakage detection): Prepared for every filling and batching task
  • Operation via free PanelX software: Saves valuable development time
