Hottinger Brüel & Kjær introduces new, single point load cell module SPLE

Hottinger Brüel & Kjær (HBK) is delighted to announce the launch of its latest single point load cell module SPLE. This cutting-edge solution combines high dynamic weighing response with a compact modular design, specifically tailored for low capacity weight control applications.

With over seven decades of experience in providing high-precision, secure, and reliable weighing solutions, HBK continues to push technological boundaries. The SPLE single-point load cell module is poised to enhance weight control processes, particularly in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries where precision and efficiency are paramount.

The SPLE single-point load cell module offers exceptional features and benefits:

High dynamic weighing response: The SPLE delivers outstanding dynamic weighing response, with measurements taken in under 100 milliseconds. This ensures precise and rapid control of lightweight objects typically found in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. The 300g nominal capacity of the SPLE has been designed to specifically meet the weighing requirements of these industrial sectors.

Compact modular design: Its compact design is perfect for space-constrained installations, as the SPLE allows multiple load cells to be installed together. This makes it an ideal configuration for multi-channel weight control applications commonly used in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic production lines.

Cost-effective alternative: Unlike electromagnetic force restoration (EMFR) weighing cells, the SPLE offers a more affordable solution without compromising performance. By leveraging innovative strain gauge-based engineering solutions, the SPLE achieves remarkable precision resolution of 0.01 g (10 mg).

Mark Gao, Developer of the SPLE and Product Manager at HBK Weighing Technology commented: "Our range of SPLE load cells is designed to meet the rigorous weight control requirements across various industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food packaging – for instance, coffee pod weight control. In general, the SPLE is ideal for scale manufacturers, weight controllers, and packaging machine manufacturers seeking an economical solution while maintaining high standards of resolution and speed compared to EMFR technologies."

The SPLE load cell module is compatible with HBK amplifiers, ensuring optimised and conditioned weighing signals for precise measurements. Its aluminum construction and robust casing make it suitable for high-throughput production environments.
