Explosion Proof

Explosion Proof Equipment for the intrinsically safe environment.

• Minebea Intec IS-X Series Explosion Proof Scales

  The Minbea Intec IS-X models are precision weighing platforms for weighing samples in hazardous areas/locations. The IS-X weighing platforms are ideal for use as inspection, measuring and test instruments in quality management systems. These units are often used in the mixing of gases and speed up both simple and complex routine procedures, saving time and making work much more efficient. Minebea Intec IS-X weighing platforms meet the highest requirements placed on accuracy and reliability of weighing results through their rugged, durable weighing system. The weighing system will not be damaged if the maximum weighing capacity is occasionally exceeded. Efficient vibration filtering and approval for hazardous environments assure stable and reproducible results every time. Ultra fast response times increase work efficiency without sacrificing accuracy. The IS-X offers direct connection to PC in a PLC or other control system for quickly capturing and organizing results. The weighing platform is also equipped with an RS-485 data interface which can be used to connect to a printer, PC, or universal remote switch through a Zener barrier. For the highest precision in an explosion proof environment the IS explosion proof series is the ideal solution.

• Rice Lake DeckHand

  The DeckHand™ portable scale is a mobile floor scale with indicator platform. Partnered with one of Rice Lake’s battery-operated indicators, such as the IQ plus® 390-DC or IQ plus® 590-DC, you have a clearly visible weight anywhere the scale is located. If product is loaded off-center, all four corners of the platform weigh perfectly, so weight is measured accurately from anywhere on the platform. Take this scale to any work area for immediate weights of large stationary items. The DeckHand’s large rubber wheels simplify movement on uneven floors. The two wheels hover when stationary so the weighing platform remains stable despite variances in floor contour. Aluminum environmentally-sealed load cells help keep things lighter for easier mobility.

• Rice Lake Rough Deck

  The RoughDeck HP’s best-in-class features are enhanced to deliver more reliability and higher performance than ever before. Available in 1,000 to 10,000 pound capacities, the RoughDeck HP is the industry leader for precision weighing in Legal for Trade applications. The RoughDeck HP’s NEMA Type 4X aluminum TuffSeal junction box is protected from forks and industrial abuse by a six-inch structural steel channel frame and diamond treadplate safety deck. The junction box is also mounted as a handy slide-out tray that eases setup and service access. Cables include sturdy cord grips or a quick disconnect for added convenience. In addition, all load cell cables are enclosed in conduit, alleviating danger of rough handling. All load cells are recessed within the channel for protection on all sides, while maintaining easy access for leveling. All of our floor scales, unless specified otherwise, are built with lifting holes to assist our dealers during installation, or to later service the scales. The lifting holes are not the same size on all of our scales and in the PDF on the Resources tab, you will find a chart that lists the standard size and quantity of eyebolts needed for our scales.
