Autotech Weighing Systems, suppliers of in-motion rail weighing and other on board weighing systems, are SABS 0259 and SANAS accredited in the field of industrial mass measuring.
The Tamtron PKVPRO on-board weighing system for front end loaders is the first system, in South Africa, to receive pattern approval for use in trade in accordance with the Trade Metrology Act, from the SABS.
The PKVPRO is an accurate wheel loader scale utilising digital techniques and weighing algorithms developed by Tamtron. The scale weighs accurately in all operating conditions, regardless of operator, travelling speed or roadway and loading area conditions. This allows for normal working and reduced loading time. The system is designed to ensure delivery against order quantity and eliminate costly time spent queuing at weighbridges.
Error compensation has been included to cope with sloping loading areas, angle sensors correct errors caused by slopes of up to 12°. When weighing with traditional wheel loader scales in an area with a slope of ±9° this slope causes an error of ±120 kg/10 T. Variations in lifting and travelling speed are corrected by the patented weighing algorithms.
The weighing receipt which includes the users contact information, weighing data and additional information such as: customer, site, material, truck, trailer, driver and price, can be printed using an on-board printer and stored in the scales memory. The user is able to create daily, weekly and monthly reports by defined customer or material as required.
The Tamtron PKVPRO on-board weighing system provides for modern wireless data transfer through GSM, GPRS and radio links between various scales and office equipment, eliminating paperwork at loading and weighing sites. Data such as customer order numbers and type of material can be transferred to the scale and the resulting weighing receipt can be transferred to a PC for fast invoicing.
