HOW IT WORKS
The SmartLoader
™
scans the top of the truck as it enters the station. As the open hatch is detected, a traffic light signals the driver to stop.
The vision system then takes the final hatch coordinates and adjusts the loading spout positioner centering the spout to the hatch. The
spout is lowered into the hatch once the scale has captured the vehicle tare weight.
When the filling cycle is complete, the spout raises. The traffic signal and exit gate allow the driver to exit the station.
ADVANTAGES
-
A single spout can
cover a loading area of up to 60 feet [18.3 m] by 6 feet [1.8 m]
for center and side hatch railcars.
-
A typical truck loading station would
cover a loading area of 36 feet [11 m] by 2 feet [610 mm].
-
Dual-direction positioners
can reduce costs
when identical truck trailers are loaded in the same load-out station.
-
A choice of construction materials allows you to effectively
handle all types of products – fine, granular, lumpy, abrasive, and corrosive – and difficult dusty or sanitary applications.
-
The SmartLoader Vision System
can be used with any type of DCL spout positioner.
-
The SmartLoader Vision System
can be adapted to work with an existing load out system.
