Siemens Milltronics MSI Belt Scale
Siemens (Germany) - The Milltronics MSI has more approvals than any other scale in the world:
Milltronics MSI belt scale provides continuous in-line weighing on a variety of products in primary and secondary industries. It is proven in a wide range of tough applications from extraction (in mines, quarries and pits), to power generation, iron and steel, food processing and chemicals. The MSI is suitable for monitoring such diverse products as sand, flour, coal, or sugar. The MSI’s patented use of parallelogram-style load cells results in fast reaction to vertical forces, ensuring instant response to product loading. This enables it to provide outstanding accuracy and repeatability even with uneven loading and fast belt speeds. Operating with Milltronics BW500, or SIWAREX FTC microprocessor-based integrators, the MSI provides indication of flow rate, totalized weight, belt load, and belt speed of bulk solid materials. A speed sensor monitors conveyor belt speed for input to the integrator. The MSI is installed in a simple drop-in operation and may be secured with just four bolts. An existing idler is then attached to the MSI dynamic beam. With no moving parts, maintenance is kept to a minimum, with just periodic calibration checks required. Read more... |

Rinstrum In Motion Axle Scale
Rinstrum Pty Ltd (Australia) - Rinstrum's new In Motion Axle Scale is a fast, accurate and economical way to weigh trucks and verify your net payload. The patent pending precast concrete design is semi portable and can be moved from jobsite to jobsite. Contractors, farmers, and plant managers will find this low cost scale indispensable to their operations.
Payload: Always know what payload you are carrying. Roll across the scale at 3 mph and the easy-to-use controller will totalize the net payload for each truck as it passes over the scale. Up to 250 different trucks can be stored in memory. At the end of the job simply print or transfer to disk the total accumulated payload and transaction count. Individual net weight accumulation by truck number is standard. Convenient: The scale is small so easily integrates into the flow of traffic. No need to stop on the scale. Simply roll across at a constant speed (2-3 mph) and the scale will automatically do the rest. Accurate: On average better than ±0.5% repeatability can be expected. Company testing as well as extensive field trials have shown that with flat and level concrete approaches ±0.2% or better accuracy can be achieved. User-Install: The In Motion Axle Scale is designed for end user installation without the need for specialized knowledge or tools to save you money. Simply prepare a 12 inch thick foundation of compacted CA-6 crusher run stone for under the scale and make the electrical connection to the controller. Then backfill around scale to make a smooth, flat-and-level transition from the gravel road to the scale. For best performance pour a concrete approach before and after scale. Economical: About 1/4 of the cost of a full length truck scale, the axle scale is great value for the user that does not have legal for trade requirements. Read more... |
