The success of scansteel foodtech A/S and their clients hinges on four key factors: accuracy, effectiveness, robustness, and reliability. When scansteel foodtech A/S manufactures and delivers machinery, it is essential that everything goes according to plan, ensuring their clients are operational from day one. An accurate, effective, and robust weighing system is a critical component in scansteel’s deliverables to their clients.

The environments in which scansteel and their customers operate are often harsh, with rigorous cleaning protocols and heavy-duty operations. “Eilersen weighing cells endure intense cleaning and harsh, wet environments, with forklifts frequently moving around. The weighing system needs to be robust, reliable, and accurate—and Eilersen delivers,” says Leif Hansen, Electrical Manager at scansteel foodtech A/S.

Typically, a scansteel foodtech A/S machine is installed on two or four compression load cells connected to a PLC via a digital Fieldbus interface. The load cells can operate under the following conditions:

• A working weight of up to 200 tons.
• Internal working temperatures ranging from 40 to 180℃.
• Horizontal expansion of the machine of up to 18 mm.
• Welding on machines during installation.

Leif Hansen has been part of scansteel foodtech A/S for almost a decade. He understands the harshness of the environment. In some industries, it is easier to keep machinery clean, but when working with process machinery such as grinders and mixers for the food industry, the equipment needs thorough cleaning to ensure the highest possible quality of the final product (typically paté, dog food, or similar products). For this reason, the Eilersen load cells are also exposed to intense cleaning protocols.

“Machinery in this industry needs to be clean. I suspect that the cleaning process in our industry is rougher than you would normally see. But that is part of the game. In rough environments, we need to be certain that the weighing system is accurate and reliable—even after rigorous cleaning. That’s why we rely on Eilersen,” Leif concludes.

On rare occasions, something does not go as planned. Whenever scansteel needs help and guidance concerning application use or our load cells, expertise is available as a service. All Leif has to do is pick up the phone and call Eilersen.

“If there is any issue or question related to a weighing system, I know I can reach someone who can assist me. It’s great to have access to a lifeline that can guide and help us if we need it. I can’t remember the last time I actually picked up the phone and called Eilersen, but there have been a few occasions when we’ve urgently needed a weighing expert to guide us through something. It’s rare, to be honest.” Leif explains.

scansteel foodtech A/S and Eilersen have collaborated since 2013 on numerous projects, both small and large. The Eilersen weighing systems have proven to be the best solution for scansteel foodtech A/S and their customers. Leif concludes, “The support from Eilersen is easily accessible, and their weighing system keeps our customers’ operations running smoothly.”
