Southern Illinois Scale partners with Flow Force Technologies as the Sales and Service agent in the USA for their range of impact weighers.Impact Weighers are also known as impact flow meters, solids flow meters and mass flow meters. They are available in different configurations to suit different applications.

Impact Weighers & Solids Flow Meters

SERIES 1 IMPACT WEIGHER

  • Uses a single impact sensing plate in the modified elbow of the out-loading spout to intercept all the grain being discharged into the transporter (road, rail or container).
  • Requires no more vertical height than the existing elbow.
  • USB compatible local data capture
  • A solar panel option is available on request.

SERIES 2 IMPACT WEIGHER

  • Widely adopted by the mineral sands industry since development.
  • An internal flow stabiliser provides measurements independent of material fall height
  • Internal sand boxes prevent abrasion of the weigher internals
  • Heavy duty special steel impact plate.
  • Available with external load cell (Series 2X) for high temperature applications or where there is the potential for material to back up into and damage the weigher.
  • Available with built-in sampler (Series 2A)

SERIES 2A IMPACT WEIGHER

  • A Series 2 Impact Weigher with a built-in sweep sampler with external pneumatic actuator.

SERIES 3 IMPACT WEIGHER

  • Measurement of finished cement mill coarse returns.
  • Custom designed to suit client’s inlet chute.
  • Easily removable inspection port.
  • Removable side plates for maintenance access.
  • Capacity 50 tonnes per hour (unit shown) but installed up to 450 tonnes per hour elsewhere for same application.

SERIES 3A IMPACT WEIGHER

  • Uses a single impact sensing plate to intercept all the mineral being discharged from a conveyor into a storage silo prior to despatch by rail.
  • A built-in sampler allows a small sample of production to be obtained over the production period that is representative of the mineral that has been produced.

Technical Data

Accuracy + or – 0.5% of true weight.
Capacity Up to 100 tonnes per hour.
Protection IP65 to AS 1939.
Power Supply 110/220/240 Vac, 50Hz.
Measurements Mass flow rate; Batch weight; Total weight.
Outputs 4 to 20 mA; 0-5 Vdc; pulses per tonne; RS232C or RS485.
Calibration constants 8 or more
Production statistics Min/Max/Average flow rates over the period.

SERIES 3B IMPACT WEIGHER

  • Designed for dry powders and materials subject to build-up.
  • Responds only to flowing material (not build-up).
  • Optional food grade stainless steel housing.
  • Side access door for inspection & cleaning.
  • Front access door for viewing etc.
  • Removable sensing assembly.

Built-in air purge solenoid valve (standard) prevents excessive build-up

SERIES 3D IMPACT WEIGHER

  • Uses a dual plate design in an inverted V configuration to intercept all the grain being discharged from a bin.
  • Allows discharge apertures of 600 mm square whilst restricting the overall height needed by the weigher to 1 metre.

Technical Data

Accuracy
  • + or -0.5% of true weight.
Capacity
  • Up to 1000 tonnes per hour (Model 500) or 2000 tonnes per hour (Model 600). Custom designed to suit clients existing flanges.
Protection
  • IP65 to AS 1939.
Measurements
  • Mass flow rate;
  • Batch weight;
  • Total weight.
Outputs
  • 4 to 20mA isolated;
  • 0-5Vdc;
  • pulses per selected mass increment;
  • RS232C or RS485.
Calibration constants
  • 8 or more
Statistics
  • Flow or batch statistics.

SERIES 4 IMPACT WEIGHER

  • Impact weigher for measuring at the end of a belt conveyor.

MAGNE//FLO™ IMPACT WEIGHER FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

  • Measures the mass flow rate of flowing bulk solids and powders.
  • The simple, compact and accurate mass flow meter is extremely rugged in construction and does not require any routine maintenance or mechanical adjustment.
  • The innovative use of magnetic techniques allows hazardous materials and food products to be metered and cleaning-in-place to be carried out without fear of damaging the sensor.
  • The MAGNE//FLO™ XR-1 Controller tracks and records the number of batches weighed, the maximum, minimum and average flow rates and the total weight.
  • The Series 3 MAGNE//FLO™ is designed for gravity feed applications operating at low, medium or high mass flow rates where a constant fall height is available.
  • The Series 3 style has a number of different configurations (3A, 3B, 3C & 3D) to accommodate different types of feed chutes.
