About the Weigh bar

The Avery Weigh-Tronix Weigh Bar was the original agricultural weigh bar. It was designed on the farm, for farm conditions: constant movement, uneven ground, rain, snow, mud, dust and hard knocks.

Built for real farm conditions

Environmental seals and protective coatings keep out water, dust, mud, snow and corrosive material.
Strong resistance to end loading, side loading and torsion (twisting), better than conventional load cell designs.
Rugged construction for years of heavy, mobile use with little maintenance.
Pre-calibrated at the factory. Paired with an Avery Weigh-Tronix indicator, it weighs accurately out of the box with no test weights.

Weigh Bar vs. shear beam load cells

Shear beam load cells often struggle with the side forces, end impacts and twisting loads common in farm use. The Weigh Bar's bending beam design gives you:

Better side-load and end-load performance
Strong resistance to torsion
Better long-term accuracy and reliability in the field

Where it fits

Pre-calibrated for use with Avery Weigh-Tronix indicators
Made for mobile applications: weighbridges, grain carts, livestock scales, feed mixers and more
Minimum 3-year warranty on all agricultural products
Manufactured in an ISO 9001-certified facility, with every Weigh Bar tested individually

CC-30 / CC-50 compression load cells

The Avery Weigh-Tronix CC-30 and CC-50 are compression load cells for high-capacity weighing. They handle shock, vibration and heavy daily use, in mobile and stationary systems.

Specifications

Capacity: CC-30, 30,000 lb (13,608 kg). CC-50, 50,000 lb (22,680 kg).
Accuracy: ±0.10% of full scale
Full scale output: CC-30, 2.13 mV/V or 3 mV/V. CC-50, 2.50 mV/V.
Warranty: 3 years

Applications

Truck-mounted TMR (total mixed ration) mixers
Large platform scales
Hopper, bin and tank weighing
Feed mixer and livestock feeding systems
Any high-capacity compression weighing job

Universal Scale Kits

Avery Weigh-Tronix Universal Scale Kits let you build your own scale in almost any size and shape. Every kit uses genuine Weigh Bars, so you get the same side-load, end-load and torsion resistance. Because the bars are pre-calibrated, no test weights are needed when you pair them with an Avery Weigh-Tronix indicator. You get a professional-grade scale without paying for fully custom fabrication.

Capacities

10,000 lb kits
20,000 lb kits
30,000 lb kits

Ask about higher or specialized capacities.

Applications

Platform scales: feed, seed, equipment and materials
Livestock scales: portable or stationary, for cattle, hogs, sheep and more
Axle scales: legal-for-trade or check-weighing for trucks and trailers
Bulk storage bin and hopper scales: inventory of grain, fertilizer, feed and other commodities
Stationary feed mixer scales: batching and record-keeping for TMR and feed mixing
Specialty scales: custom builds for farm, ranch or agribusiness needs

Kits carry the 3-year agricultural warranty, are built in the same ISO 9001-certified facility with individual component testing, and are backed by Avery Weigh-Tronix engineering and application support.
