Dry Bulk Solid Weighing System Overview

Key Features

The dry bulk solid weighing system is designed for use with bucket elevators as well as pneumatic, belt, and screw conveyors. It serves as an inexpensive, reliable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional impact, belt, hopper, and volumetric weigh scales. Installation can be completed in just one day, and the system offers easy calibration for user convenience. With no mechanical wear parts or contact with the process flow, maintenance requirements are minimized and operational longevity is increased.

How it works:

The system calculates the weight and flow rate of dry bulk solids being transported by monitoring the power consumption of the electric motor. This proven technology has been deployed in over 1,600 systems worldwide, ensuring both reliability and accuracy.

Applications:

• Railcar Loading – Conventional weigh systems are often not economically feasible for many facilities. This system allows the use of destination weights for point-of-sale purposes.
• Truck Loading – Products can be weighed as trucks are loaded, eliminating the need for additional passes to adjust product quantities after weighing on a platform truck scale.
• Inventory – The system facilitates monitoring the transfer of products within a facility, helping keep accurate track of inventory levels.
• Process Monitoring/Flowmeter – Provides reliable monitoring of flow rates to dryers, crushers, mills, and other process equipment.
