Chronos BTH Limited, based in Nottingham in the UK, has reported that it continues to enjoy a record number of plant upgrade, retrofit and refurbishment projects, with international projects also now having been secured.
This continued success in this market sector reflects the continuation of challenging economic circumstances, where in some cases capital equipment spend has sometimes been difficult to justify. These latest Chronos BTH retrofit/upgrades have enabled further companies to maximize the use of their existing systems.
As with previous upgrades, equipment modified includes bagging scales/feeders and a variety of near obsolete controllers; all of which have been modified or replaced for operation to current Weights & Measures regulatory standards, across several industries.
 
FLOUR MILLING
  • the onsite upgrading of four manual E55 bagging weighers in a Kuwait Flour Milling Complex, from Speedac8 controllers to SpeedAC NXT controllers; and
  • planned replacement of 2 PC454 scale controllers at a South Lincolnshire flour mill to operate with PC456 controllers.
 
ANIMAL FEED COMPOUNDING
  • working around the intensive production requirements of a Midlands feed supplements plant to upgrade several controllers to SpeedAC NXT operation; and
  • the supply of a reconditioned belt fed scale and a SpeedAC NXT controller to a UK feed mill and using existing equipment to upgrade the feed packing line.
 
FOOD & MALTING
  • improving weighing accuracy by using a SpeedAC NXT to replace a competitor’s controller in a food ingredients plant; and
  • upgrading competitor supplied grain malt and milled malt weigher controllers to SpeedAC NXT operation and to be able to meet weights & measures legislation.
 
CHEMICALS
  • replacing a competitor’s control system with a SpeedAC NXT controller to provide Weights & Measures-approved FIBC filling in a fertilizer plant; and
  • retrofitting 2 SpeedAC NXT controllers and supplying new loadcells for two barrel filling lines to provide enhanced lubricant weighing accuracies and improved reliability.
