Dynamic Weighing For Liquid Goods

Registering valuable liquids with precision at up to 10km/h

In the chemical and petrochemical industries, liquids are often worth their weight in gold. If mistakes are made in incoming or outgoing goods checks, every kilogram counts. Material flows need to be weighed quickly, reliably and with certified precision.

This places high demands on the weighing technology. The problem is that liquids slosh around inside the wagons, and it can take 20 minutes or more per wagon before the liquid becomes still enough for static weighing to take place. So in many cases you have to choose between not weighing the wagon correctly or accepting long waiting times. The potential losses from false readings can run into millions. This posed an immense challenge to the engineers at Schenck Process, who have developed a new generation of train scales in the form of MULTIRAIL, which is designed for the dynamic weighing of tank wagons.

Dynamic weighing. More speed. High precision. Reliability.
