EQUIPMENT

WEIGHING SYSTEMS FOR ACCURATE LOADING Loadtech’s LOADRITE has a range of weighing systems designed for wheel loaders, excavators and conveyor belts. The systems offer basic weighing information or greater accuracy and data capturing capabilities depending on the loader size.

eighing systems play a crucial role in the overall production process of mine operations. Accurate weight data has numerous advantages such as reducing costs and process time, increasing production and minimising potential overloads.

LOADRITE L2180 Loader Scales Regardless of the application, the challenge for site and fleet managers is the same: achieve maximum value from existing equipment by utilising it in the most efficient manner. The key to making effective decisions is having the right information available. The LOADRITE L2180 is more than just an on-board scale. It provides an easy way to capture information on your loading process right where it takes place – on the loader. LOADRITE uses rotary position sensors to continuously monitor the boom position over the entire lift, allowing multiple measurement points. Multi-point weighing allows variations in weights calculated to be averaged out or even discarded if outside tolerance levels. These variances can be caused by inexperienced operators or weighing on rough ground. X2350 Excavator Scales The Trimble LOADRITE X2350 is an excavator productivity weighing system that helps optimise mass-haul and other loading operations, through payload tracking and real-time material movement visibility. With the X2350, your operators are more confident and empowered to excel in their loading performance. Tracking material movement helps prevent lost productivity before it starts costing your business money. With optional

reporting software, management now has access to realtime visibility of mass haul project status on any mobile device or web browser at any time. The X2350 makes information management easy with a range of online or off-line reporting options, including Insight HQ, so you can access your data on a PC or mobile device. Choose either an in-cab printer, raw data export or from a range of pre-formatted/custom reports.

C2850 Belt Scales The LOADRITE C-Series conveyor belt weighing system for mobile applications is specifically designed to ensure accurate weighing for mobile crushers, screeners and stackers. The C-Series is not based on traditional conveyor belt scales. It has been designed especially for the mobile environment, with unique features such as a rugged printer, direct delivery of reports to email using cellular modems, weighing with chain idlers and tailor-made reporting. LOADRITE mobile belt scales give plant operators and managers a range of powerful tools to measure the actual production from screens and crushers, track final product stockpiles, analyse plant and machine downtime, and monitor loadout of trucks, port and rail and conveyor belt scales.
