This is one of twenty sites that this customer had upgraded the previous year to our GMS-4000 bulkweighing control system. We were able to install our 50,000 BPH scale in the space taken by the replaced 40,000 BPH scale.

The customer upgraded our standard system by specifying:

  • 4-sided third tier platform at top of scale
  • Thicker corner colums in part to handle lower legs being extended 7′
  • Empty level sensor on Lower Garner to be able to use our >SmartLoad system that ensures that the scale continues to run while a new car is positioned under the spout,

The scale is controlled by the state of the art GMS-4000 controller including:

  • SmartTech that automatically monitors the scale for correct operation
  • SmartLoad that ensures that the scale continues to run while a new car is positioned under the spout, and
  • SmartRead that automatically reads the rail cars and calculates the optimum amount to load into each car.
