Mobile check weighing system for pig iron production

Ensuring accurate weight measurement in pig iron production is crucial. Sometimes, structural constraints make it difficult to check and adjust burden hoppers accurately using traditional methods. This can complicate achieving precise weight management for optimal production efficiency.

Check and adjust hopper scales with ease

The mobile check weighing system by Schenck Process is designed for precise calibration of hopper scales in pig iron production. This system comprises a two-section frame with an integrated hydraulic cylinder and master load cell, pre-assembled for easy installation. By producing a tractive force between the hopper and foundation, it forwards a portion of this force to the scale’s load cell, which is then displayed on the DISOMAT® Tersus terminal. This allows for accurate comparison and adjustment of the hopper scales. The mobile system can be used across multiple hoppers or permanently mounted depending on the application. It provides a reliable, straightforward solution for ensuring precise weight measurement without the need for complex external weights.

Benefits

  • Accurate weight measurement with tractive force application
  • Easy installation and mobility between hoppers
  • Reduces complexity of traditional weight adjustment methods
  • Ensures precise calibration and weight management
  • Compatible with DISOMAT® Tersus terminal for clear readouts
