Laumas CDG4EQ3A 4-channel hygienic load cell summing and equalisation box

The Laumas CDG4EQ3A foot-mounted load cell junction box is designed and certified to be suitable for food and beverage washdown environments where hygienic materials and design are required.

The CDG4EQ3A from ADM Instrument Engineering is used in measurement systems that employ multiple load cells to measure weight or force. In such systems where multiple load cells are used, it is crucial to ensure that each load cell contributes equally to the overall measurement. Load cells can have slight variations in their characteristics, such as sensitivity or output, which can lead to inaccuracies if not addressed.

The device will accept the input from four load cells simultaneously. It is manufactured from AIS304 stainless steel and has built-in trim pots to allow for equalisation adjustment.

The product is certified to 3A Sanitary Standards, which is specific to the food and beverage industry, particularly the equipment used in the processing and handling of dairy products. The standards are a set of criteria and guidelines developed by the 3-A Sanitary Standards, Inc. (3-A SSI) organisation. The standards ensure that equipment, such as pumps, valves, fittings and other components, meet the necessary hygiene and sanitary requirements for food processing. The certification verifies that the equipment meets stringent standards for design, fabrication and cleanability, and is safe for use in food processing facilities.
