When weighing takes place in demanding industrial environments, reliability and durability are critical.
Applied Weighing recently installed a heavy-duty weighing system, designed to operate in a particularly challenging application, using 4 x 200te capacity loading assemblies to weigh scrap metal into a mobile carrier and onward into the melting process.
Built to withstand high temperatures and loading via electro-magnetic crane machinery with the inevitable shock loads associated with steel handling, the system combines robust mechanical design with protected instrumentation to ensure dependable performance.
To eliminate cabling and improve system resilience, weight data is transmitted wirelessly to a base station then into the customers PC, with transmission range carefully tuned to minimise interference and suit the operating environment.
A further endorsement of the solution? This installation is a repeat system for our heavy industry client – reflecting continued confidence in a proven weighing design.
