Automation, Sensors and Weighing Systems
Scale-Tron manufactures batch control systems, silo, bin and tank inventory systems, moisture sensors, weighing systems and OEM scales.
Major Product Lines
Batching Controls
BatchTron, 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
SiloWeigh Identifies and stops 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.
