Barrel scales for weighing cabbage barrels and cabbage barrels<\/h2>\n\n

ESSMANN | Waagen & Automation has modernized<\/strong> a 21-year-old calibratable <\/strong>stainless steel drum scale <\/strong>for an agricultural company in northern Germany, on which fresh, cut white cabbage is filled and weighed in a 120-litre drum.<\/p>\n\n

Process sequence of the drum weigher<\/h3>\n\n

Once the barrel has been partially filled with brine and cabbage, the product is tamped manually, as the volume of the product would otherwise not fit completely into the barrel.<\/p>\n\n

\n

A roller conveyor, each made of stainless material, is installed on, next to and behind the drum weigher. Tamping takes place on the roller conveyor next to the floor scale<\/a>. To determine the weight, the drum is pushed onto the drum scale over the roller conveyor<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weighing bridge is<\/strong> made of stainless steel<\/strong> and has a dual-range design<\/strong>. This makes it ideal for weighing, counting and checking. The weighing range of the scale is 0.4 – 150 kg, the increment<\/a> up to 60 kg = 20 g and from 60 kg = 50 g. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roller conveyor consists of an aluminum frame with plastic rollers. The bearing cheeks of the track sections are made of U-profile. The rollers are mounted on ball bearings and run on strong round axles. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Filling takes place via an inclined conveyor belt, which can be switched off manually. As it can happen that the operator has to leave the workplace during the final filling, a switch-off point can be set. The signal is output via a relay box on the weighing terminal<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n
