Axle Weighing Pads Verify Material Composition For Pneutrol

A market leader in the design, development and manufacture of industrial components and process control solutions is using portable weigh-bridges to verify materials produced by its continuous mixing plant.

Pneutrol International Limited has purchased four sets of APOLLO PT300 portable static weighpads from Vehicle Weighing Solutions Ltd (VWS) to verify the weight and composition of different mixtures of Hydraulically Bound Materials used in the highways, construction, waste management and utilities sectors.

Greg McPherson said: “The weigh pads are highly accurate and can be moved from site to site, which is perfect to use with the mobile continuous mixing plant. Some of the sites are 60 miles from civilisation so we needed a solution that we could take anywhere.”

Greg continued: “We use the pads to check the weight composition of the finished product, once it has come off the conveyor belt and has been loaded onto a vehicle. The vehicle drives over the portable weigh pads and we verify the weight against electronic control systems on the machine. This serves to ensure the output of high quality, fit for purpose homogenous material at all times.”
