Weighbridge for hazardous food areas
Avery Weigh-Tronix has launched an ATEX-compliant weighbridge for use in hazardous areas in the food industry. The weighbridges can be used in zone 1 and 2 areas as specified in the European ATEX fire and explosion regulations
The ATEX regulations now cover ignition sources from non-electrical sources, such as sparks from contact between metals. Weighbridges are constructed from mild steel and so can be a potential hazard.
The new weighbridge uses a fully ATEX-compliant analogue load cell. In addition, the deck uses stainless steel metal stops to prevent a spark being produced. All the electronics, such as indicators used with the bridge, are also fully compliant.
