PW27 - Aseptic filling using the hygienic PW27 load cell - EHEDG-certified

Product description

When used, for instance, in filling systems and packaging machinery in the beverage, food, pharmaceutical and bio industries, load cells have reached their limits up to now. The reason: Conventional load cells have edges and fissures.

Weighing technology for asceptic filling: Now possible with PW27

The hygienic PW27 load cell is a groundbreaking innovation - it enables efficient and accurate weighing equipment to be used in fields where aseptic production is required, for instance, in the aseptic filling of food or pharmaceuticals. HBM's hygienic PW27 load cell is the first and only load cell ever that has been officially certified as being compliant with the strict rules of the European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group - and is thus suitable for use in the hygienic design of systems.

Due to its optimized design without edges or fissures, PW27 is easy to clean. The load cell is made of food-compatible stainless steel. The load cell cable, too, meets hygiene regulations: It has been doted with silver ions and is thus antibacterial.

Conventional load cells have corners, edges and fissures that are difficult to clean. A drawback in terms of hygiene.

The design of the hygienic PW27 load cell has been optimized, it comes without edges or fissures. It is therefore easy to clean and fit for applications where highest hygiene standards have to be met.

EHEDG certification, an innovative design, and outstanding product features make PW27 the only load cell worldwide that really deserves the rating "hygienic".

Asceptic filling using up-to-date weighing technology

Ideal, for instance, for the aseptic filling of food. And, in addition: Many applications involving weighing systems in the beverage, food, pharmaceutical and bio industries benefit from the characteristics of the hygienic PW27 load cell - even if highly demanding hygienic design requirements have to be met:

• In filling plants and packaging machinery (for aseptic filling and packaging)
• In multi-head combination weighers
• In static scales.

PW27 allows users in industries with highest hygiene requirements to benefit from the advantages of up-to-date weighing technology: long life, no maintenance costs, high accuracy of all filling and dosing processes.

PW27 complies with highest hygiene requirements. The hygienic PW27 load cell's standard dimensions allow easy integration in existing system designs. When using PW27 for weighing you additionally benefit from leading measurement technology quality "made by HBM" - using a rugged sensor that provides reliable test results even in extremely moist and aggressive environments.

Integrated overload protection, well protected against dirt

Thanks to its integrated overload protection that cannot be blocked by product residues the PW27 single point load cell is virtually indestructible. An adapter for various cable protection systems is also integrated as well as mounting devices and fixtures with dimensions that are compliant with established market standards.

Aseptic filling using up-to-date weighing technology: PW27 now permits hygienic design including the weighing equipment. The hygienic PW27 load cell is a milestone for aseptic production.

PW27 comes with a test certificate of the German National Metrology Institute (PTB). Applications for patents have been filed for diverse design features and characteristics of the load cell. At present, the load cell is available with a maximum capacity of 10 kg and 20 kg.
