Industrial Load Cells Fitted To Shipping Container Inverter


Industrial Load Cells

Accuweigh’s Melbourne branch recently supplied industrial load cells and load cell mounting kits to ServiceWorks in Melbourne for fitting under a shipping container inverter at Prograin’s Laverton plant. Four Flintec RC3 industrial load cells of 30t capacity were fitted to the container inverter for a capacity of 32t with full trade approval.

The new loading process has the filled shipping containers being weighed while still on the inverter - eliminating the need to manoeuvre the shipping filled container to a separate trade approved weighbridge for weighing.

The empty containers are loaded onto the container inverter by forklift and then tilted by hydraulic rams so that delivery trucks can fill grain at the desired angle. When full, the container doors are closed before the container is lowered back to the rest position for weighing the net content of grain.

The operator then enters the order details into a Rinstrum R420 digital weight indicator which then prints out the required weight tickets listing weight, order number, time and date.

Professional Grain Services (Prograin) specialises in packing bulk and bagged grain in shipping containers for export, as well as providing a range of value adding services such as fumigation, grain cleaning and grading.

Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company with branches in all mainland states offering full after sales service and support.
