Zemic HM9C Load Cell in combination with the Zemic HM-9-405 Mount
Zemic Europe offers different solutions for onboard weighing of trucks and advises which load cell in combination with which mount is most suitable for each situation. A good set for onboard weighing is the Zemic HM9C load cell with the Zemic HM-9-405 mount. With these components, calibrated weighing is performed and overloading is prevented. These Zemic components ensure optimal onboard weighing.
The HM9C load cell is very suitable for on board weighing installations because of its capacity, high calibration accuracy and because it is hermetically sealed and therefore resistant to aggressive substances. This load cell also offers the advantage of a round shape, making it easier to keep clean. For a good power introduction, Zemic advises the HM-9-405 mount. This mount ensures that the load cell is securely mounted on the truck and it prevents horizontal movements of the load cell so that it performs accurately even when there is a lot of vibration and shock.
The HM9C dual shear beam load cell, in combination with the mount HM-9-405. This set has the following features:
- Nickel plated alloy steel with a special seal for onboard applications.
- C3 OIML approved (3000 parts)f
- High accuracy
- Suitable for onboard weighing installations, silo and tank weighing, platforms etc.
- Hermetically sealed; IP68
- Available in a wide range of capacities from 5 to 34 tons.
- Flexible load cell with high deflection (better shock load resistance).
- No horizontal movement
The construction of a weighing system on a vehicle has considerable advantages, ensuring efficiency and therefore cost savings:
- Deliveries and loads of goods can be measured directly, without a diversion via a weighbridge, calibrated and thus reported and/or invoiced.
- It also enables the user to load the maximum permissible weight, which ensures efficiency.
- Prevention of overloading with its associated dangers, such as excessive wear of vehicle components and avoidance of fines for exceeding the maximum permitted axle weight.

Minebea Intec Software Application EasyFill®
EasyFill is a particularly cost-efficient software application that does not require complex programming in a PLC. The application is a simple solution for batching liquids, powders and granules. In this process, the electronic weighing system also controls the necessary batching signals (coarse, fine) via integrated digital inputs and outputs. The software has been pre-installed in the weight transmitters PR 5220 and PR 5230 and the weight indicator X3 and offers precise batching results through user-specific and configurable set-point, tolerance and overshoot values.
Balanças Marques PCM M1500e
Innovation is part of our DNA and from the beginning that our weighbridge is distinguished by being at the forefront and pioneering the implementation of major advances in engineering and technology.
The PCM M1500e weighbridge has a rigid and intelligent structure, with technical profiles specially designed and calculated for this model, which adds more stability and strength.
With the best quality sheet metal, the new intelligent profiles are laser-defined and fully produced in the latest robotic welding section of our metalworking unit.
The PCM M1500e is fully configurable in versions ranging from 4 to 12 load cells, being 100% compatible with analog and digital load cells Model MC-CT.
ADVANTAGES OF PCM M1500e:
- QUICK INSTALLATION - Installing a PCM M1500e takes less than a day. It has been developed so that it can be installed easily with the use of few human and technical resources, through a fully modular factory prepared.
- FLEXIBILITY OF USE - The PCM M1500e has the advantage of being easily disassembled and transported for use at another location, with total use of the equipment.
- PRODUCT READY TO GO - Balanças Marques guarantees its customers all the convenience and ease of not needing to hire other services following the acquisition of a PCM Marques, since we provide a full turnkey service.
- GLOBAL COMPETITIVE PRICE - The PCM M1500e can be used in multiple locations and without related costs to construction or destruction of civil work, at least significant, and because it saves the customer from hiring other companies in other related services, such as the CE verification and legalization of equipment.
- RECOGNIZED QUALITY - Balanças Marques is the largest Iberian manufacturer of weighbridges for weighing trucks and it probably is the company in Europe that most manufactures scales, producing, on average, about 20 meters of bridge per day.
Besides the numerous prestigious clients nationwide, the weighbridges Marques are present all over the world. We export more than 90% of our production.
