Weigh Buggy Measures
The manual Portable Bulk Scales (864 or 864M) will mix more and save you time and labor. The scale measures 12 and 14 gauge 10 and 6 rubber 10 and 10. The weigh buggy measures include dimensions and weight capacities to fit your operation. None of the beam sticks out above the top of the hopper. 1,000 pound capacity hopper is 12 and 14 gauge steel and rides on 10” and 6” rubber tired wheels. Hopper has quick gravity bottom discharge 10” x 14” and is controlled at the operators end of the buggy. 304 grade stainless steel is used in the construction for durability and ease of maintenance. Unit has push handle and wheel brakes. Scale counterweight is included and installed prior to shipping. Weights on the rod will not fall off with the rod basket in place.36-1/2” W x 42” H, front of hopper is 32-3/4” H. 17 cu.ft. capacity hopper (about 800 lbs. of shelled corn) sits on a beam scale where the main beam reads 1000 lbs. x 100 lbs., and the fractional beam reads 100 lbs. x 1lb. and the metric unit reads 455 kg. x 45 kg. on the main beam scale and 50 kg x 200g on the fractional beam scale
Digital Portable Bulk Scale (864D) is the same as the 864 but has a 120 Plus digital weight indicator with rechargeable battery pack. Indicator will read in pounds and ounces or kilos and grams. 120 Plus has large (0.82”) six-digit LCD display with printer port (output only) and RS232 communications at 10.38,400 BPS with 500-character print ticket format (printer not included).
How Weighing Works
Weighing is a big deal in many industries such as agriculture, construction and manufacturing. It’s measuring the weight of materials, products or equipment to be accurate, efficient and safe. To get the net weight you subtract the tare weight from the total weight. In the case of dump buggy weighing the process is to load the buggy with the material to be weighed, place it on the scale and record the weight. This ensures the material is measured accurately which is important for quality control, resource optimization and industry compliance. Modern scales use load cells to provide precise and reliable weight readings, ensuring consistent accuracy in various applications.
Prepare the Buggy for Weighing
Before you weigh the buggy you need to prepare it properly to get accurate readings. First make sure the buggy is empty and free of any debris or obstructions that could affect the weight measurement. Gross weight is the weight of the buggy and material, net weight is just the material. Next check the buggy’s weight capacity to make sure it’s within the scale’s range to avoid overloading. Place the buggy on the scale, make sure it’s centered and stable so it doesn’t tilt or distribute weight unevenly. Finally calibrate the scale if necessary to get accurate readings. Proper preparation is key to getting reliable and consistent weights.
Weigh
Weigh the buggy by placing it on the scale and record the weight. Subtract the tare weight to get the net weight. A digital portable bulk scale can improve mixing accuracy and weighing solutions. The scale should have a digital weight indicator that displays in a clear and easy to read format. This reduces the chance of errors. The digital portable bulk scale can handle various materials so it’s perfect for industries that require accurate and reliable weighing.
Safety
Safety is a big deal when weighing dump buggies. Knowing the gross weight and net weight is important for safety from overloading. Make sure the scale is properly installed and maintained to prevent accidents and get accurate readings. A scale with a sturdy construction like a stainless steel frame can handle heavy loads and be durable. Implementing safety features like handle and wheel brakes can prevent the buggy from moving during weighing and reduce the chance of accidents. And make sure the operator is trained and experienced in using the scale and handling the buggy to ensure a safe working environment.
Sanitary and Food Contact
Sanitary design and food contact is top priority for the digital bulk scale, making it ideal for use in food manufacturing plants and high care RTE environments. The scale features a stainless steel load cell and open construction, which not only provide durability but also make cleaning and maintenance simple and effective. The quick gravity bottom discharge system allows for fast and thorough emptying of materials, reducing the risk of residue buildup and contamination. With a rechargeable battery pack and a clear six-digit LCD display, the scale ensures accurate readings and reliable performance, even in demanding environments. The use of stainless steel throughout the construction enhances resistance to corrosion and supports strict hygiene standards, ensuring the scale meets the rigorous requirements of food production and other sanitary-sensitive industries.
