Auto parts suppliers tend to accumulate large amounts of scrap metal as a result
of their stamping operations. B-TEK and Controls and Weighing created a set of
truck scales to assist this stamping manufacturer with accurately weighing their
metal. The target weight for each trailer load is provided, to insure the trailer is
filled to maximum legal weight. The scales then verify the amount of scrap leaving
the facility per trailer. Once one trailer is full, the system will switch loading into the
other trailer automatically. The scales were installed within an existing load-out
steel structure. The job required
low-profile scales due to clearance
under the structure. Traditional
truck scale weighbridges
would have been too tall and
placing them inside a pit too expensive.
The scales were for the
trailer axles and dollies only and
the middle steel panels that rest
on the ground are also known as a
"dead" panel. Once the concept,
design and fabrication of the
scales were completed in Canton,
Ohio, the scales were transported
to Alabama where Controls &
Weighing did the installation. |
