Technology makes high precision weighing possible
and speed make it ideal for a variety of industrial applications,
including the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Mettler Toledo claim its Modulo WMH weighing platform and WM weighing modules both meet harsh environment demands and provide unprecedented weighing precision.
Its split second milligram range weighing is possible for industrial applications, optimising the use of valuable materials and reducing cycle time, minimizing downtime.
The Modulo WMH weighing platform and weighing modules form part of the Mettler Toledo Modulo family of sensors, which meet the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.
Modulo units can be integrated into an existing process, allowing evaluation of measured parameters while sequential weighing is concurrently conducted outside of the process. Alternatively, Modulo can determine whether a pellet, a moulded article, a sinter piece or a subassembly, meet quality criteria.
Available in two product lines, the Modulo WM weighing module covers a weight range of 120 grams to 6kg at a resolution of 0.1 mg to 0.01 grams. Weigh modules are used to convert a tank or other structure into a scale. They enable you to make accurate weighing an integral part of your operation. Typical applications are containers used for storage and processing, conveyors, OEM machinery, and mechanical scale conversion.
The WMH weighing platform incorporates proven Mettler Toledo series platform design in sizes from 15 kg x 0.1 grams up to 600 kg x 10 grams. With an IP67 rating, the WMH weighing platform withstands the harshest industrial environment.
Frank Cava, industrial business area market manager at Mettler Toledo said: "Modulo allows a user to optimise the use of valuable materials, reducing cycle times by increasing the speed and accuracy of the dosing process, minimizing downtime."
Mettler Toledo Modulo units can be connected to a process control system, and is configured through the service interfaces, making them adaptable to connection requirements and operating conditions. Modulo communicates with Profibus DP, DeviceNet, Ethernet via accessory modules, and allows direct data transfer via RS232 or 422. No terminal is required. Modulo is also compatible with other Mettler Toledo hardware and software products including the ID7, ID30, FreeWeigh, FormWeigh and SQC systems.
