manufacturing-news

Minebea Intec introduces the PR 6003 mounting kit, reinforcing its position as a leader in silo weighing technologies. Designed for seamless installation, the PR 6003 delivers exceptional precision and safety within a compact design. Tailored for industrial silo weighing, the kit is now available for order.

The PR 6003 mounting kit ensures reliable measurements, even in the most challenging environments—whether facing wind forces, seismic activity, or vibrations. With a load range from 500 kg to 75 tonnes, it offers significant versatility. The system can be customized with either mild steel or stainless steel, depending on environmental conditions, providing enhanced corrosion resistance. “Our aim was to design a product that combines advanced technology with ease of use, simplifying operations for our customers,” says Yannick Salzmann, Product Manager at Minebea Intec.

The PR 6003 guarantees maximum safety, withstanding horizontal forces up to 82 kN and featuring an anti-lift device capable of enduring forces up to 120 kN. Minebea Intec further aids customers with a “wind and earthquake calculation tool” to optimize silo structure designs.

The PR 6003 is engineered for quick installation, thanks to advanced features like the dummy function, which allows setup without a load cell, protecting it from damage. Additionally, the optional jack-up tool enables the silo to be raised without external equipment for easier removal of safety plates. Weighing under 20 kg, the kit is easy to install by a single person. Once in place, the system offers long-term durability and requires little to no maintenance. “The PR 6003 is the natural progression of our successful PR 6001, offering enhanced performance at a more competitive price,” states Yannick Salzmann.

The PR 6003 mounting kit is now available for purchase. For more information about the PR 6003 and comprehensive engineering support and consultation services, visit www.minebea-intec.com.
