Whether grinding, mixing or filling – where tons of grain are moved every day, nothing can be left to chance. Minebea Intec supplies highly accurate weighing and inspection solutions that enable milling companies to organize their processes safely, efficiently and compliantly – even in hazardous areas.
Silos and buffer tanks are at the heart of modern milling plants. This is where it is determined whether raw materials are batched precisely and resources are utilized economically. Load cells such as the Inteco load cell from Minebea Intec ensure precise process control with continuous weight measurement – even under difficult conditions such as vibrations or moisture.
The Inteco load cell is made of high-quality stainless steel, OIML C6-certified and designed for continuous industrial operation. It covers a wide load range of 500 kg to 75 tons – ideal for smaller raw material containers as well as large-volume silos. With the robust FlexLock mounting kit, it reliably compensates for lateral forces and enables accurate measurements even with asymmetrical load distribution.
The load cells also fulfil the highest requirements in terms of explosion protection: Certified variants are available for applications up to Zone 0 and Zone 20. “The Inteco load cell combines maximum precision with robustness and flexibility. It is specially designed to meet the requirements of the milling industry in order to offer our customers the highest product quality,” explains Yannick Salzmann, Product Manager at Minebea Intec.
Certified safety for potentially explosive atmospheres
Milling companies often work in hazardous areas – for example in silos or when grinding dry products. Minebea Intec offers weighing and inspection solutions with international approvals such as ATEX and IECEx for these sensitive areas. This means that even applications up to Zone 0 and Zone 20 can be implemented safely.
Through precise Weighing and reliable foreign object detection, milling companies not only increase their product quality but also ensure their system availability and economic efficiency. Minebea Intec supports them as a reliable partner – with robust technologies, customized Engineering Support and global Service.
