Steel & Scrap

Scrap yard and steel mill scales, by truck and by rail

Steel moves by truck and by rail, and the scale sits in the money path for both. Thurman weighs the heaviest industrial loads — on one deck, if that's what the site needs.

Truck and rail, one indicator

Steel arrives by truck and leaves by rail, or the other way round, and both legs need a legal-for-trade weight. The 8765 above-ground track scale installs modularly and runs virtually maintenance-free, and the same TS3311 indicator that runs the truck scale runs the rail deck.

Scrap traffic never idles

Scrap yards run gate-to-gate truck traffic all day. The Diamondback 8560XD carries a 130,000 lb concentrated load capacity on NTEP Certificate of Conformance 89-016, with Measurement Canada approval AM-6004, and its self-restoring deck returns to center after the braking shock of loaded haulers.

Indicators that talk to the mill

The TS3311 with Intalogix Technology gives maintenance cell-by-cell diagnostics from any browser — a failing load cell is identified before it stops the gate. Ethernet TCP/IP is standard; PLC interfaces connect the scale to plant systems.
