40K – Preston, NC
Location:
Preston, North Carolina
Model:
CWC-4012S– 40,000 BPH
Dimensions:
12′ x 12′ x 31′-6″ with 45° slopes, height includes an additional 6′ upper garner extension for an extra 858 cu. ft. of space which provides approximately an additional minute cushion between rail cars.
Other Features:
¼” Ceramic tile scale liners on slopes and hogbacks
SP-3 surface prep with universal metal primer and industrial acrylic enamel
Service platforms on 1st, 2nd and top level access area
Automatic test weight lifting equipment
(3) 1,000 lb. State certified NIST Class “F” cast iron test weights with NVLAP traceability
28” square lower garner hydraulic gate with position translator for full position control
Other Supplied Equipment:
Support tower with ladders and platforms to access equipment
Automatic angled Gamet rotary cross cut sampler with ceramic liners
Rail load-out spout with ¼” ceramic tile liners with hinged design to lift spout out of rail envelope
Hydraulic accumulator to ensure main scale gates work under full power when rail load out spout is operating.
Plugged discharge spout sensor which closes lower garner gate if there is a blockage below the spout
Operator’s pendant to control the spout and the gate opening position of the lower garner gate
(2) 10’ x 10’ prefabricated control rooms. (1) for load-out operator and (1) for grader (see picture).
Control Equipment:
The scale is controlled by our top of the line GMS-4000 controller including:
- SmartTech that automatically monitors the scale for correct operation
- SmartRead that automatically reads the rail cars and calculates the optimum amount to load into each car. This information then feeds into the SmartCar database to calculate the optimum amount to load into each car so the that the loadlimit is not exceeded or the car physically runs out of space on light materials.
- Super SmartLoad that ensures that while the next car is moved into position the scale can start working on that car by filling the lower garner and the weigh hopper with two drafts, saving around 45 seconds a car.
