The Avery
Weigh-Tronix patented (over 30 patents)
Weigh Bar
TM.
Avery Weigh-Tronix developed their Alley
Weigh
TM
first to weigh hogs in containment. That
was so successful that they developed
the Chute Weigh to weigh cattle and
other animals. Both Weigh Bar
TM
and Alley
Weigh
TM
are trademarked terms and other
companies that use these to describe
their products are in violation of the
trademark and cause confusion in the
marketplace.
There are a number
of reasons why the Weigh Bar
TM
is superior to competitive load cells.
1) They are 3X mechanically stronger
which gives them longevity - they last
longer before failure (weaker load cells
are subject to fatigue just from normal
use),
2) They have much higher overload
protection than load cells (shock
loading is one of the leading causes of
load cell failure),
3) They have an aerospace-developed
sealing agent which provides the
ultimate protection against moisture and
ensures long term durability in the
harsh agricultural environment (moisture
is also a leading cause of load cell
failure),
4) The mounting arrangement prevents
rocking, twisting, or torquing of the
Weigh Bar
TM
(the cheap Chinese shear beam load cells
have two bolts holding them to the
structural steel element - this mounting
arrangement allows the mounting holes to
egg out and the load cells to twist - it
also allows the load cells to rock up
and down - these cause extremely
difficult weighing problems to trouble
shoot, and
5) The cable is heavier gauge and better
insulated to provide long term
durability and prevent moisture from
wicking up the cable into the Weigh Bar
TM.
The Chinese shear beam load cells used
by our competitors were designed for use
on Floor Scales in an indoor
environment. They will work fine for one
maybe two years then you will start to
have problems. Some of these problems
are very difficult to trouble shoot. You
really do get what you pay for. The
Avery Weigh-Tronix Chute Weigh was
designed from the ground up to be an
animal weighing scale in an outdoor
agricultural environment. Avery
Weigh-Tronix didn't get to be one of the
oldest and largest scale manufacturers
in the world by going cheap (
www.agscales.com).
They build a quality product that will
last in the environment it was built
for.
Central City Scale uses Avery
Weigh-Tronix components (Weigh Bars
TM
and Weight Indicators) with their own
fabrications to make a wide variety of
animal weighing scales.
