Which BSS capacities are legal for trade?

The 500, 1,250, 2,500, and 5,000 lb configurations are covered by the listed NTEP approval. The 10,000 and 20,000 lb configurations are not certified for legal-for-trade use.

Is the listed capacity for one bar or a complete weighing system?

Each capacity applies to one BSS weigh bar assembly. A complete vessel system normally uses multiple assemblies, and system sizing must account for vessel weight, product load, load distribution, vibration, wind, and other dynamic forces.

Where is the BSS a strong fit?

Its stainless construction and wash-through mounting make it well suited to food production, chemical processing, and other applications that require frequent cleaning or corrosion resistance.

Why does the BSS use a self-leveling chain link?

The chain-link mounting arrangement helps the assembly accommodate off-center forces and vibration commonly found under hoppers and silos.

What else is required for a working scale?

A complete system typically includes the correct number of weigh bars, a compatible junction box and interface cable, an indicator, mounting hardware, installation, calibration, and any required trade certification.

Avery Weigh-Tronix BSS Stainless Steel Batching Weigh Bar

Avery Weigh-Tronix BSS stainless steel batching weigh bars for tanks, bins, and hoppers, with 500-20,000 lb configurations and NTEP-certified capacities through 5,000 lb.

The BSS combines a stainless-steel weigh bar with a wash-through compression mounting assembly for accurate weighing in food, chemical, and other demanding process environments. Its self-leveling chain-link design accommodates vibration and off-center loading that can occur beneath bins, tanks, and hoppers.

Select the individual bar capacity that safely supports the complete vessel, product, and dynamic load. Capacities through 5,000 lb are available for approved legal-for-trade systems, while the 10,000 and 20,000 lb configurations are intended for non-trade process weighing.
