Description

The Overhead Rail Scale weighs loads while they hang from a monorail track. It is designed for the meat industry, where product moves along overhead rails through cutting lines, and it is available for capacities from 150 to 1000 kg. Each module uses two stainless steel load cells.

Fits existing tracks

The weighing module is small, at 482×152×86 mm, and has a reduced build height. It mounts on the structure of cutting lines and can be adapted to an existing monorail track and to other rail types. Where a standard module does not fit, WPL can manufacture it to special dimensions.

Stainless construction and load cells

The module is finished in AISI 304 stainless steel. Two load cells, made completely of stainless steel with IP68 protection, do the weighing and give a stable reading. For background, read stainless steel 304, 316 and 316L compared and IP ratings explained.

FAQ

Overhead Rail Scale – frequently asked questions

Can the overhead scale be fitted to our existing rail?

The weighing module is designed to be adapted to existing monorail track and to other rail types, and it mounts on the structure of cutting lines. Send WPL the rail profile and a photo or drawing of the mounting point so the adaptation can be prepared. Special dimensions are possible.

Which capacities are available?

The Overhead Rail Scale is available for 150, 300, 600 and 1000 kg. Choose a capacity that covers the heaviest hanging load, including hooks or trolleys, with some margin. WPL can advise on the right capacity for your line.

Is the scale suitable for wet cleaning in meat processing?

The module is finished in AISI 304 stainless steel and uses stainless steel load cells with IP68 protection. Describe your cleaning method, such as water pressure and chemicals, in your enquiry so WPL can confirm that the configuration suits your hygiene routine.
