Customers & Applications
- Most BatchTrons over the years have found applications in concrete, because that is where we are well known. We use these same techniques in bulk inventory management.
- BatchTron has legendary reliability and is at home in any industrial environment This includes dusty and hazardous environment situations.
- Bulk material terminal, fracking sand. Baker-Hughes, the Texas oil giant, uses BatchTron bulk material controls for its Shafter, CA fracking sand terminal. Bulk shipments arriving by rail car are transferred to twelve 610 ton silos. Loadout controls fill trucks with precisely weighed amounts for shipment to job sites. All terminal controls, silo weighing and camera system were supplied by Scale-Tron.
- Large civil works, dam project. Thalle Construction‘s 2-mixer plant at the Kentucky Dam poured up to 500 yd/hour between 2011 and 2016 for a new lock for shipping. Everything was supervised by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. A second concrete batch automation controller managed the “wet belt” aggregate and sand cooling system. This allowed production of concrete to meet the 35°F specification as a result.
- Architectural concrete, small central mix. Bétons Architecturaux Breton‘s president Guy Jacques with his original BatchTron batch plant controls (2009) running his plant with Ocmer 1 yd mixer. The plant, located in Quebec City, specializes in architectural concrete products. He has since upgraded his batch plant with larger mixer and color touch screen.
We received a referral from a trusted supplier that we should talk to Scale-Tron about upgrading our manual operated batch plant in Nevada. We were impressed with the attention to detail in your quote and were further impressed by your responses to our questions about your company and your products. We ordered a BatchTron control system and are truly amazed with how many yards an hour this old plant can produce. Scale Tron is our new operating system partner. They did everything they promised and didn’t gouge us with hidden fees. Thank you for all your help Chris and Robin. Patrick Schaefer, G.M. Jetcrete North America, 2018
