ATEX weigh module MasterMount®

IP68IP69Kcost-effective

The MasterMount® is a unique, patented and cost-effective load cell/mounting accessory combination for silo, tank, hopper or vessel weighing. Installation is made easier, safer and much faster using this simple innovative design. Load cell installation/replacement can be carried out in only a few minutes. A high precision stainless steel VC3500 double shear beam load cell, protected to IP68/IP69K, combines with a painted alloy steel weighing module having an integrated cam mechanism. This is an ideal combination for applications requiring wash-down cleaning, even in hazardous (ATEX/IECEx) areas. The load cell’s ATEX certification eliminates the need for safety barriers in dust zones 20, 21, 22. No specialist tools or lifting equipment is necessary to raise the weighing vessel, install a load cell, then lower the vessel again – even when it is full. The lifting and lowering is carried out by the weighing module itself. This reduces the list of tools required for installation and increases safety. This is a cost-effective solution, designed to simplify the installation work of weighing system integrators. Because the MasterMount accessory is manufactured as a cast construction, it is exempt from any requirement for approval to EN 1090 / Construction Products Regulation.
