General

HBM supplies C16M... weighing modules for max. capacities 20 t up to 200 t.
The tank weigh modules are mainly designed for tank weighing applications
and manufactured completely from galvanized steel or stainless steel.
The tank weigh modules are fitted with integral transverse retention guides
which can absorb horizontal forces, such as occur for example with tanks
used with stirring mechanisms or by wind forces. Optionally, a simple anti‐lift­
off device may be installed by the user.
The modules are formed from a lower module plate for fastening to the
foundation frame, the load cell with load transfer elements and the upper
module plate for mounting an the tank. A rocker pin is used for the load trans­
fer which provides compensation for horizontal offsets in the applied load (in
direction perpendicular to transverse retention guides as, for example, can
arise through thermal strain). The weighing modules are pre‐assembled and
supplied with transport safety retainers.

Mounting instructions

• lt should be ensured that the mounting/siting surfaces are clean, flat and
level. Depending on the Installation circumstances, any levelling error can
be compensated for example by suitable wedges and compensating plates
(permanently welded) or by the grinding away the mounting surface. On no
account must the module plates be ground.
NOTE
On no account must the module plates be ground.
• The foundation/base frame must be sufficiently stiff so that no impermissi­
ble deformations (e.g. deflections) occur on loading.
• In order to keep the mounting as free of straining forces as possible, the
fastening holes on the base frame and the tank joint must be sufficiently in
alignment. Same means to the bore of the anti‐liftoff device.
• Uniform loading on the support points should be provided where possible.
Correct adjustment of the height on the supporting points must be ensured
(have compensating shims ready). This is especially important for statically
undefined supports.
