07/11/2023 – UTILCELL introduce the new high capacity digital load cells Model 740D for large silos, with nominal capacities of 100t, 200t, 400t and 600t per support point.

The use of these digital load cells in a large capacity silo offers multiple advantages, based on being able to read the weight at each support point individually, which allows you to continuously verify the levelling of the silo and have the best tool for maintenance of this large weighing system.

These Model 740D digital load cells are mechanically compatible with the Mo…

16/10/2023 – UTILCELL presents the NEW 740CP and 740CPD (DIGITAL) compression load cell models for truck scale applications.

Its main novelty is the new anti-rotation system, composed of two planes instead of PIN, which makes it more robust and with a greater resistance against lateral displacements of the scale and load cell inclinations.

They are built in stainless steel and hermetically welded, with IP68 (EN60529) and IP69K (ISO 20653) protection, adapted to work in extreme climates, with a limit temperature range from -50ºC to +80ºC. It…
