Continuous Weighing
The Milltronics line of continuous weighing products from Siemens are found in almost any industry that involves handling of bulk materials. In applications like crushed stone, ore, cement, coal, food processing, or chemicals, Milltronics reliable, field-proven conveyor belt scales, weighfeeders, solids flowmeters, and integrators are the ideal solution. Milltronics products are rugged – built for tough operating conditions in the aggregate, cement, and mining industries. They are easy to install and maintain, and expert technical support is there when you need it.
Belt Weighing Systems
Belt scales help maximize the use of raw materials, control inventories, and aid in the manufacturing of a consistent product. Milltronics conveyor belt scales from Siemens combine simple, drop-in installation, low maintenance (no moving parts) and repeatable accuracy for productive operation. They show minimal hysteresis and superior linearity, and ignore side loading. All load cells feature overload protection. With the use of approved intrinsically safe barrier strips, some belt scale models can be used in hazardous locations. Highaccuracy, light-loading, and heavy-duty models are available.
Weighfeeder System
A weighfeeder system is a custom-engineered conveyor integrated with a belt weigh bridge and speed sensor. A variable speed drive, motor and gearbox allow the flow of material to be controlled by a given setpoint chosen in the BW500 integrator. This allows the feeder to provide precision weighing accuracies, and to improve blend consistencies, accountability, and record keeping. Weighfeeders are indispensable when automated production processes require continuous inline weighing and feeding. These heavy-duty weighfeeders deliver fast, reliable, and uninterrupted service. The virtually maintenance-free construction promises unmatched performance. Milltronics weighfeeders from Siemens come standard with belt weigh bridge, speed sensor, and integrator. Flanged belting is available on all models. The height of the flange depends on model and application. Belt widths and conveyor lengths are made to measure for the required application.
Solids Flowmeters
Solids flowmeters enhance process control, contributing to improved quality of your end product. The heavy-duty, low maintenance LVDT type solids flowmeters provide continuous in-line weighing of dry bulk solids, free-flowing powders, or granular material. An SF500 integrator completes the system processing sensor signals into operating data for flow measurement. All models produce accurate, repeatable results and may be used for critical functions such as batch load-out and blending. Safe overload protection is a standard feature. All models are totally enclosed and dust-tight, and are constructed of painted mild steel. Stainless steel and hazardousarea versions are also available.
Communications
SmartLinx modules provide direct digital connection to commonly used industrial communication buses with true plug-and-play compatibility. They are fast and easy to install, and can be added at any time to a Milltronics BW500 or SF500 integrator. Milltronics BW500 and SF500 come standard with built-in Modbus® RTU or Modbus ASCII (RS-485). SmartLinx modules are available for the following industrial communication buses: Allen-Bradley Remote I/O, PROFIBUS DP, and DeviceNet.
Weighing Retrofit Program
Updating your weighing system with current technology and communications reduces the operating cost of
your plant. With this retrofit program, you can upgrade your existing weighing equipment at a fraction
of the cost of a new complete system. Our integrators offer the latest microprocessor technology for
reliable process management, and you can choose from a range of rugged belt scales and speed sensors to
fit your application needs.
