Snap-on TER50LA Torqometer, US/N·m Light Signal Dial Wrench, 3/8″ Drive, 60 N·m / 600 in-lb

Description

Cocoa from Ben Tre, Dong Nai and Ba Ria-Vung Tau now feeds a small but busy local chocolate trade. First, beans pass through roasters, winnowers, mills, refiners and conches before they become bars. Each machine also carries guards, scrapers and drive covers that come off for cleaning. The Snap-on TER50LA Torqometer helps fitters refit those parts, and its lamp flashes at the target.

Bean to bar, bolt by bolt

Chocolate lines run warm, and refiners and ball mills hum all shift. So a fitter bent over a conche may not see the dial clearly. With the Snap-on TER50LA Torqometer, a built-in signal light flashes at the targeted torque, and the eye can stay on the joint. After the flash, the needle still shows the value for the log.

TER50LA in catalog CAT1500i

Snap-on prints this row in its Combination US/Newton Meter Reading/Precise 1% Accuracy table. The two scales are not exact twins, since 60 N·m is about 531 in-lb while the inch-pound scale runs to 600. So read each spec on its own scale rather than converting by eye. The TER50LA code carries no C, and Lost in HCM’s title names no certificate.

Cocoa plant jobs for the Snap-on TER50LA Torqometer

• Drum door and agitator fixings on bean roasters.
• Sieve frame and fan bolts on winnowers.
• Scraper arm and cover bolts on conches and refiners.
• Pump, valve and jacket fittings on tempering machines and tanks.

In addition, refiner and conche makers each publish their own figures. Check the manual, then confirm the value sits inside the TER50LA dial before you pull.

Precise 1% from 12 N·m

Lost in HCM files the TER50LA under Combination US/Newton Meter Reading/Precise 1% Accuracy. In short, Snap-on keeps Precise wrenches within 1% of reading from 20% of full scale to the top. Thus the band starts at 12 N·m, or 120 in-lb, on this wrench.

Warm rooms and cocoa butter

Cocoa butter leaves a greasy film, and roasting rooms stay warm. Snap-on rates its Torqometer dial wrenches for 0 to 100 °F, so keep the TER50LA away from roaster walls and tempering jackets. Also wipe it with a dry cloth after each job, and store it in its PB9 case outside the product zone. Do not force stuck screws with it, either.

Chocolate plant FAQ for the TER50LA

Does the TER50LA come with a calibration certificate?

Its name does not list one. The C-suffix code TER50LAC is the certificate version in Snap-on’s catalog, so ask Lost in HCM about it.

Why a light signal model for a chocolate line?

Conches and mills are noisy, and the fitter often works at an angle. So a flash is easy to catch even when the dial is hard to see.

Can it touch food contact surfaces?

Keep it out of the product zone.
