Thames Side loadcells are designed and manufactured in house to the highest industry standards with innovative loading assemblies built into the loadcells to provide a simple but complete mechanical link between the loadcells weighing structure and support base, removing the need for additional tie bars or other restraints to protect the loadcells.
Several patented Thames Side loadcell designs allow rapid installation and removal of the loadcell without jacks or specialist tools, even when the vessel is full, providing major savings on loadcell installation costs.
Loading assemblies form a crucial part of modern weighing systems. Use of the latest Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software pinpoints the optimum design of assembly for correct operation and rigorous manufacturing and test procedures ensure total reliability under the harshest of conditions. Depending on the model, assemblies are available in stainless steel, autophoretic painted or galvanised finish.
Most products have ATEX Ex ia IIC T6 certification for both dust and gas in all zones as well as Ex nA II T6 gas only certification which allows Zone 2 use without safety barriers.
