Over the past four decades Precia-Molen has established a worldwide reputation as a major supplier of weighing equipment for use in bulk transshipment and storage facilities. The proven concept of one basic design for multi purpose applications in intake, transshipment and out loading operations, makes the standard ABS-xl scale suitable for a wide range of dry free-flowing bulk commodities such as cereals, expellers, tapioca, soya meal and many derivatives. Special versions are available for fertilizers, sugars and liquids.
The standard Automatic Bulk Scales type XL are suitable for dry and free-flowing bulk products with a bulk density of 0.5–1t/m3. Products with lower bulk densities are also handled by the ABS and special designs are always possible on request. For products with higher bulk densities (for example fertilizers up to 1.2t/m3) small modifications are sufficient. Last year, Precia Molen received a special demand from a customer for weighing fertilizers and phosphates with higher bulk densities.
Now Precia Molen Breda is producing the two special hopper
scales for fertilizer and phosphates with bulk densities from 1.2 up to 1.4t/m3 and bigger product sizes. Capacities are up to 1,750tph (tonnes per hour), and the units can operate 24 hours per day. The insides of these hopper scales are completely executed in stainless steel and have specially designed feeding and discharge gates. Feeding gates are suitable for coarse and dribble feed. Stainless steel cylinders are taking care of the correct and fast movements of the gates.
The feed section and weigh hopper have UHMW-PE liners because of the abrasive products. The surface of the liners also ensures an improved product flow. The hopper scales will be installed by Precia Molen on site. Precia Molen also takes care of the engineering for the steel tower construction for the two hopper scales and the complete installation works on site.The I400 ABS controller
in combination with the RIO-box (remote In- and outputs in stainless steel cabinet with integrated pneumatic valves and controlled by the CANOPEN field bus) complete the Precia Molen weighing system (MID, OIML approved). Hopper scale accuracy according OIML R107, class 0.2 (+ and – 0.1 %).
