Scale Kits & Weighing Assemblies

Integrated weighing kits for tanks, hoppers and platforms where load cells, mounting hardware and accessories must work together.

Complete weighing assemblies

Scale Kit and Weighing Assembly Solutions

Scale kits combine load cells, mounting hardware, junction boxes and instrumentation into a practical weighing package for tanks, hoppers, platforms and process systems.

Tank weighing kits

For liquid tanks, mixing vessels and storage systems where movement, pipe forces and cleaning conditions must be considered.

Silo and hopper kits

For bulk storage, batching and dosing where the system must handle high loads and structural movement.

Platform scale kits

For custom platforms, pallet weighing and floor-scale builds using matched load cells and summing hardware.

Mounting assemblies

Load feet, anti-lift mounts, spacers and tank mounts help introduce the load correctly and protect the cell.

Junction and trimming

A summing box allows multiple cells to be combined and corner-trimmed for accurate readings.

Instrumentation package

Indicators, transmitters or controllers are selected according to whether the system needs a display, PLC output or process control.

PRODUCT FAQ

Common Questions

What is included in a scale kit?

A typical kit includes load cells, mounting hardware, a junction box and an indicator or transmitter. The exact parts depend on the structure.

How do I choose a kit?

Start with the vessel or platform weight, number of supports, environment, required output and whether the load is static or dynamic.

Can kits be customised?

Yes. Mounts, cable lengths, indicators, transmitters and protection levels can be matched to the installation.

IP Rating Explained

This symbolizes the level of Ingress Protection for electronic materials, in accordance with the IEC 529, DIN 40050, BS 5490 and NF C 20-010 standards

1st Digit: Protection against solid objects

0 = Non protected
1 = Protected against solid foreign objects of 50mm diameter and greater
2 = Protected against foreign objects of 12.5mm diameter and greater
3 = Protected against solid foreign objects of 2.5mm diameter and greater
4 = Protected against solid foreign objects of 1.0 mm diameter and greater
5 = Dust protected
6 = Dust tight

2nd Digit: Protection against moisture

0 = Not protected
1 = Protected against vertically falling water drops
2 = Protected against falling water drops as the enclosure is tilted 15 degrees
3 = Protected against spraying water
4 = Protected against splashing water
5 = Protected against water jetting
6 = Protected against powerful water jetting
7 = Protected against temporary immersion
8 = Protected against continuous immersion

Material Reference

Loadcell or accessory models starting with the following letters refer to the material they are made from:
H = Alloy Steel / L = Aluminium / B = Stainless Steel

What does OIML stand for?

The majority of the products manufactured by Zemic and therefore the weighing prodcuts and loadcell models Richter Scale offer for sale are genuine OIML approved products.

The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) is an intergovernmental treaty organization which develops model regulations, standards and related documents for use by legal metrology authorities and industry, provides mutual recognition systems which reduce trade barriers and costs in a global market, represents the interests of the legal metrology community within international organizations and forums concerned with metrology, standardization, testing, certification and accreditation, promotes and facilitates the exchange of knowledge and competencies within the legal metrology community worldwide, cooperates with other metrology bodies to raise awareness of the contribution that a sound legal metrology infrastructure can make to a modern economy.of the economy and ruining our reputation by selling cheap products that don't last. Buying an industrial scale that will stand up to the rigours of the local market and operators requires careful and fully informed research.

Legal Metrology Accredited

We are an NRCS and SANAS accredited Verification body and Repair body under the Legal Metrology Act and Legal Metrology Regulations. Our products are type approved for trade use / prescribed purpose and thus carry the NRCS stamp of quality and excellence, giving you the confidence that you will get a product that meets a standard of quality and reliability which is traceable to international metrology and quality standards.

Frequently asked questions

More Information

What to look at when choosing a load cell?

—

A load cell is the heart of any scale. Inferior metals, combined with un-tested and unstable strain gauges within these load cells mean that these cannot perform consistently in various conditions, temperatures or even during simple repeatability testing by the untrained operator! Look for a trusted brand with quality materials and a supplier like us with direct factory backing and guarantees. Beware of copies and imitations. If it’s not sourced from Richter Scale there is a chance it could be a copy or model made for entry level domestic use.

I need to replace a load cell but my load cell is not a Zemic load cell?

—

First check if the scale/weighing system is for trade/prescribed purpose or not? If they are then 99/100 times you will have to replace with the same make and model.

Non trade applications - if the size and hole patterns fit then you are free to substitute your current load cell with a ZEMIC LOAD CELL.

What is the difference between an analogue load cell and a digital load cell?

—

Analogue load cells :
*Sends mV via the signal lines to the instrument which has an Analogue to Digital convertor.
*Easy to substitute and replace with other manufacturers.
*Cheaper.

Digital load cells :
*These have an Analogue to Digital convertor attached to the body or inside the load cell. It then sends RS422/485 to the indicator.
*More expensive
*Less/no compatibility with other manufacturers.
*Protocol locked.

The strain gauges and body/element material of the same brand load cells between these 2 technologies remain the same.

It is only on the digital conversion side where they differ in technology.

Where can I find a spec sheet for a load cell?

—

You can either click on the download spec sheet button located on the individual loadcell page or you can visit our downloads page

What does EX stand for on a load cell?

—

Areas or sites with potentially hazardous or explosive environments require weighing equipment which has EX ratings. Many of our Alloy and Stainless steel loadcells are available in an EX version. These should be paired with EX rated junction boxes and EX rated instrumentation.

What IP rating load cell do I need and why is it important?

—

Dusty and/or wet/corrosive applications call for greater protection against dust and moisture. IP ratings vary from IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68, IP69

These levels and numbers indicate the level of exposure and/or submersion in water and exposure to dust which the load cell can withstand before ingress (leakage) inside the load cells.
