The customer selected our 12′ wide 50,000 BPH scale that has a lower height than competitive 40,000 BPH systems while delivering close to 60,000 BPH throughput.[sc:clear ]

The customer upgraded our standard scale system by specifying:

  • 4′ of additional upper garner providing ½ a minute of additional leg running time
  • ¼” Expanded Metal Backed Urethane all 3 Hoppers & gate hogbacks
  • Lower garner gate with position control
  • 4-sided third tier platform at top of scale
  • Special hydraulically controlled load out spout that telescopes in and out of the rail car hatches and pivots out of the way between cars. Fully lined with ¼” EMBU.
  • 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.
