New vehicle-scale conversion kits increase scale performance while saving customers replacement costs

By Industry News
February 27, 2015

Vehicle Upgrade PR 225.jpgAging analog scales can be expensive to keep in working order. Their high-maintenance load cells have a tendency to need frequent repairs, causing downtime and costing companies money. METTLER TOLEDO now can replace existing load-cells in non-METTLER TOLEDO scales with POWERCELL PDX load cells. Conversions save companies the expense of replacing the entire scale while greatly improving the scale's performance.

A POWERCELL PDX conversion can provide dramatic savings by reducing downtime, maintenance and weighing errors. Conversions to POWERCELL PDX are quick and easy. The conversion kits are designed for the specific brand of scale the company already owns, so it is easy for METTLER TOLEDO technicians to perform the conversion with minimal downtime. Customers receive state-of-the-art performance for a fraction of the cost of a new scale.

METTLER TOLEDO offers conversion kits with NTEP approval for the following vehicle scales:

  • Avery Weigh-Tronix (Model FCTS)
  • Fairbanks (Type S Lever)
  • Rice Lake (Survivor OTR)

 POWERCELL PDX load cells are proven to maintain their accuracy despite changing environmental conditions. They operate without junction boxes, which are the No. 1 cause of vehicle-scale failure. Built-in predictive diagnostics verify the performance of each load cell and simplify maintenance. By modernizing the critical components of their vehicle scale, businesses can sensibly and cost-effectively ensure the performance their business requires without the large expenditure for an entirely new scale.

 For more information, visit www.mt.com/converttopdx.
