Platform Scales
At Kanta King, we have a range of load cells, weighing assemblies and instrumentation/electronics for the accurate weighing of items placed onto platform scales.
​
Platform scales are industry standard equipment for weighing small or large items as they move from one location to another. From small retail stores to large factory warehouses, their abundance is growing. Usually square or rectangular, they experience many different environmental conditions. Industrial platform scales have further requirements, for example a high IP rating to protect the sensitive weighing components from moisture, chemicals, high pressure hot water jets and steam cleaning nozzles.
​
Kanta King has a range of load cells specially designed for the harsh environmental conditions that platform scales often experience.
Our Solutions
Solutions for single cell platforms​
For single cell platforms up to 800 x 800 mm in size, 4 models of single point load cell are available at competitive prices. Their construction ranges from fully welded and hermetically sealed stainless steel (IP68 & IP69K) to silicone sealed nickel plated steel (IP66). Our Load Cells models are OIML approved to 3000 divisions (C3) and to 4000 divisions (C4). Of equal importance to the load cell is the cable; these models are fitted with a durable polyurethane cable having a high resistance to UV radiation, impacts and chemical attack when compared with PVC cable.
​
Solutions for multiple cell platforms
When the platform scale is larger than 800 x 800 mm in size, or where additional stability or shock protection is required, 4 load cells are often used. A bending beam or shear beam load cell is mounted at each corner. With the available range of load cells, precision is assured, moisture ingress is eliminated and the price is competitive. OIML approval to 3000 divisions (C3) is a standard feature, with a range of different construction materials and sealing to meet a range of budgets.
​
We also offer a range of load feet for different environmental conditions. Consisting of stainless steel and rubber components, each load foot provides a stable and rigid base for the platform scale and is designed to provide optimum load introduction to the sensor.
