A Waterproof Weight Indicator was recently fitted to existing scales owned by Coogee Chemicals in Perth’s Kwinana Industrial Estate.
The X-320 Waterproof Weight Indicator replaced the client’s existing weighting electronics that had failed due to water damage.
Accuweigh’s Perth branch fitted an Accuweigh X-320 Waterproof Weighing Indicator that is completely sealed to eliminate future repairs caused by water ingress. Rated to IP69K, the X-320 Waterproof Weight Indicator is suitable for use in wash down areas and can withstand direct hosing with high pressure water jets (1400psi) at high temperatures (up to 80°C).
The housing of the Accuweigh X320 Waterproof Weight Indicator uses a food grade, impact resistant composite alloy housing incorporating a double ‘o’ ring seal to provide superior sealing performance over traditional stainless steel enclosures. As well as food areas, this robustness of this Waterproof Weight Indicator is also ideal for chemical manufacturing applications, as in this case.
On many weight indicators, the weak link in the sealing can be the keypad, but the X-320 Waterproof Weight Indicator has a capacitive keyboard integrated into the waterproof housing. This allows the entire front panel to be constructed as a single piece eliminating seams and joins that could break down or leak. The capacitance effect of the solid keypad senses an operator’s finger without requiring any actual pressure on the hard keypad surface – even when used with gloves.
