Our weighbridge rubber profile – 149mm width provides a cost-effective solution to preserving your weighbridge. Typically, customers would have to take the machine apart and clean the weighbridge by hand. However, with the correct installation of our product, you can prevent dirt and debris from being able to enter the machine in the first place. This not only reduces maintenance time but also enables your weighbridge to be in service for much longer.
Weighbridges are highly useful tools that perform two main functions. Firstly, you can use it to determine the weight of the contents you are transporting. Secondly, it can help avoid potential fines if a vehicle is overweight. Both of these applications require accurate readings for the weighbridge to be useful. However, due to the large-scale nature of the weighbridge, foreign objects can easily get inside the machine. Our product provides a simple solution to preventing the ingress of dirt and debris.
Due to the highly sensitive nature of weighing scales, we know how important it is to maintain accurate readings. With this in mind, we manufacture this weighbridge rubber profile to withstand frequent, heavy use. We also feel that it is important to create a product that doesn’t require constant maintenance. This enables you to simply install our product and forget about it. We manufacture our weighbridge seal from a high-quality, rubber EPDM material due to the excellent properties the material offers.
Our weighbridge seal features a shore hardness of 73°, due to the solid nature of the product. This ensures that our product is able to maintain its shape whilst being subjected to the extreme pressure of heavy-duty vehicles. As our seal is able to maintain its shape, it is able to deliver consistent performance regardless of the vehicle. However, due to the flexible nature of EPDM, our product features an elongation break point of 430%. This further helps our seal to absorb the pressure of heavy vehicles, which increases the life expectancy of the product.
Another key feature of our weighbridge sections is the excellent resistance they offer. Solid EPDM offers excellent resistance to weathering, temperature, UV, and ozone deterioration. This enables you to use our product in both interior and exterior environments with ease. It also ensures that our product is able to deliver consistent performance.
If this isn’t the product you are looking for, take a look at the rest of our stock range of weighbridge rubber. Alternatively, we can also supply a range of special order weighbridge profiles.
