Automation and controls, sensors and weighing systems
Imagine your plant, furnished with a new batch control system, sensors for moisture content of aggregates and silo monitoring system. Whether it's batching of concrete or another application, because it's new technology, your bottom line can benefit from these latest developments. Scale-Tron specializes in design and manufacturing of scales, batch automation and both sensors and electronics for moisture measurement, silo inventory, temperature measurement, mixer washing, crane weighing and commercial scale applications.
Product Groups
Batching Controls
The controller with rock-solid reliability for batching of concrete.
Use of industrial PLCs and touch screens for batch control gives you power, speed and freedom from downtime.
Moisture Measurement
AquaSense 2280D microwave moisture probe/sensor; the only one with a 10 year guarantee, measures the continuous moisture content of aggregates and many other granular and powdered materials. AquaMix 2270D online moisture sensor for mixers has the world’s hardest ceramic faceplate to give you many years of wear.
Silo and Bin Inventory
Identify and stop delivery shortages. Never run out of cement again. Eliminate the risk of overfilling. More accurate than silo level measurement, SiloWeigh measures the contents of silos or other vessels by weight.
Weighing, Scale Components
Mini-Mount and Scale-Bar load cell mounts and platform sensors, serial and USB weight transmitters, plus other components for high accuracy, high speed weight data acquisition in point-of-sale, self-checkout and other high-volume, cost sensitive applications.
