Insertion Weigh Belt exceeds USDA standards.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:43:39 -0500

Built with stainless steel frame, Ultra-Sanitary Model SI features troughed belt to keep product away from edge, eliminating need for side skirts. Entire conveyor assembly is coupled to mass counter-balanced Force Measurement Suspension System that allows load cell selection based on net, rather than gross weighing requirements. Unaffected by dirt, shock, or vibration, system can withstand overloads in excess of 1,000% of rated capacity without damage or calibration drift.
