Load bars are rugged portable weighing modules that can be used in livestock and agricultural applications – under cattle crushes right through to fleece weighing with an accuracy of 50g. The epoxy coated steel construction and sealed stainless steel load cells are built for long life. These can be teamed up with an agWEIGHr-R320 for livestock weighing or the super rugged fully waterproof agWEIGHr-X320 digital weight indicator. Simple setup and calibration with Rinstrum's agWEIGHr weight indicator range makes for ideal industrial applications.

Overview of Best Practices for the agWEIGHr System
The agWEIGHr weigh bars are commonly used to measure a static or restrained load directly applied to the top surface of the bar. This load is transferred through the mount to the load cell sensor. This signal from the load cell sensor is combined in each bar and then sent back via the cables to the Y junction located near the weight indicator and then again onto the weight indicator. The weight indicator reads this signal and then converts it to a weigh reading that is shown on the display for the operator.
The agWEIGHr weigh bars usually a set of 2 bars should be mounted securely underneath a load receptor, common are load platforms, race crush, box or crate and drafter devices including auto drafters. The weigh bar can also be mounted overhead whereby the load is pulled down on the top surface of the bar. The weigh bars can be used for weighing farm or industrial products like drums or lengths of steel directly onto the top surface of the bar.
The weigh bars should also be mounted securely onto a foundation made of a hard level surface in a symmetrical layout. The positioning of the weigh bars should be as far as part as the mounting points on the load receptor can structurally be mounted to. Ideally there should be no tipping or uplift from mounting too far in from the approach or exit edges. The accuracy and repeatability of the device is highly dependent on a good installation. The agWEIGHr beam is extremely rigid but still requires a solid level surface to mount the weigh bars on top of. Ideally a concrete pad should be laid, however any firm level surface can be used.
The agWEIGHr bars are constructed to IP67 ingress protection and manufactured of epoxy coated steel and the load cell is sealed stainless steel so they are suitable for wet and some corrosive environments. Also consider drainage and housekeeping for the weigh bars so that they are not constantly immersed, or a build-up allowed of sediment inside or around the bar. Failure to do this will result in inaccuracy and possible damage. We would strongly suggest that the agWEIGHr weigh bars be used with the other agWEIGHr accessories including our range of weight indicators and weighing system accessories.
