MasterMount Patented Assembly for Silo and Tank Weighing

Assembly – MasterMount

Capacities: 2t – 30t

The MasterMount is designed for vessel weighing.  It uses a patented lever and cam mechanism that enables the top plate of the loading assembly to be raised and lowered with a 180 degree turn with just an M30 socket spanner and T-bar.  The stainless steel load cell is retained within the assembly by simple captivated pins, thus avoiding the use of fiddly retaining clips.

Lift off protection is provided through the mount itself, rather than the traditional design of under or through the load cell, which protects the load cell from reverse shock loading. The Mastermount assembly is manufactured from high strength cast steel and is protected by a durable and hard wearing corrosion resistant paint finish.

The special design also avoids the need to use dummy cells whilst any welding or other work is being undertaken on the vessel.   Once the MasterMount loading assembly has been fitted under the vessel, installation and removal of the load cell can be accomplished in minutes, resulting in large savings in installation costs.
