What types of dump buggies are compatible with this scale?

These scales are typically designed to accommodate standard 400lb and 600lb dump buggies, allowing for versatile use across various food processing operations.

Does this unit require a ramp or a pit for loading?

No, this is a freestanding unit designed for floor-level loading. Dump buggies can be pushed directly into the weighing cradle, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure.

What maintenance is typically required for a pneumatic weigh scale?

Routine maintenance commonly involves checking air lines for leaks, ensuring the pneumatic cylinders operate smoothly, and periodic calibration of the weigh head to maintain accuracy. Cleaning is also essential, especially in food environments.

Can the weigh head display units in both pounds and kilograms?

Yes, weigh heads on units of this type, such as Mettler Toledo, commonly offer selectable display units, allowing operators to switch between pounds (lb) and kilograms (kg) as needed.

What happens if the air supply is disconnected during operation?

Pneumatic systems typically incorporate safety features, such as a shut-off valve, which activates upon air supply disconnection. This prevents the buggy from falling suddenly, enhancing operational safety.

Features:
-Suitable for 400lb + 600lb std dump buggies.
-Max loading = 880lb / 400kg
-A freestanding unit that allows the dump buggy to be pushed into the weighing cradle at floor level and eliminates the need for a ramp, or floor pit solution
-All stainless steel 304-grade construction.
-Mettler Toledo weigh head – Weigh functions include gross, net, and tare. Unit weight can be in lb or kg.
-Lifting up and down using monostable buttons and a pneumatic valve.

Principle of operation:
-We push the loaded or empty buggy into the switched-on scale.
-We then use the monostable button to lift the buggy up.
-We can add or reduce the load to obtain the loading weight indicated by us.
-In this pneumatic system a shut-off valve is used, which turns off in the event of disconnection of the air supply (e.g. disconnection of supply hoses) – this will prevent the tank from falling down suddenly.
