Solent Scale Services launches weighbridges

A  Solent Scale Services product story
   
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Aug 25, 2008

The new range of weighbridges from Solent is used to accurately weigh transport and their loads, predominately in recycling centres across the UK.

Solent Scale Services supplies, installs and maintains all of its weighbridges.

The range is manufactured to a high specification, suitable for use in the most arduous conditions and is available to hire or buy, with purchase prices starting from GBP7,000.

Various add-on options can be applied to tailor the products to requirements, such as software that produces a ticketing system for drivers, remote access, reporting functions, a steel frame ramp for concrete infill, automatic barriers and instrumentation that performs 'in' and 'out' weighing by vehicle registration.

Within the reporting facilities, companies can calculate total activities for each vehicle or company over a certain period of time through its in-house-developed software.

Once the steel deck is fabricated the whole structure is shot blasted and burnished before anti-corrosion primer and acrylic-polyurethane paint is applied.

The weighbridge is then assembled and tested in the factory prior to despatch, which includes deflection tests under load using dial gauges.

Modular in design, the weighbridge is delivered on a single lorry and is installed using the lorry crane, reducing installation costs.

The design of the side rails and maintenance access plates mean that the same weighbridge deck can be used for surface or pit-mounted applications.

Hampshire-based Solent Scale Services specialises in providing, servicing, repairing and calibrating industrial weighing equipment.

WEIGHING CONTROL FOR BETTER EGGS

"Dave Ayling developed a system...."
Sartorius Full Article

Dorset-based egg producer, Chilbridge Farms, has 90 000 chickens and uses 75 to 80t of feed/week that it makes itself. Installation of weighing equipment from Sartorius has resulted in a better quality egg.

A fully automatic feed manufacturing process was in place, but the company wanted to improve accuracy of weighing to ensure consistently higher quality.

Solent Scale Services developed a system that allows the automated addition of large bulk ingredients, alongside the manual addition of extra ingredients in smaller quantities. To control the flow of ingredients from 10 storage hoppers a Sartorius ProX5 system weight controller was installed.

This controls the on/off functions for the auger feeders and also for an oil pump to add soya oil to the mix. It also controls the main hopper slide valve.

The ProX5 holds 12 recipes for various types of feed and stores each ingredient as a % of final mix, so final quantities of feed can be adjusted as required.

A Sartorius operator display, the PR1627, is used to control manual addition of extra ingredients.
