AN AUTOMATIC LOADING-OUT SYSTEM
A WEIGHING AND LOADING SYSTEM IS DESCRIBED WHICH UTILIZES PORTABLE SURGE BINS AND BELT CONVEYOR SCALES AND WHICH IS ACCURATE ENOUGH TO BE USED IN THE SALE OF AGGREGATE. THE CONTROL SYSTEM TAKES DATA FROM THE SCALE CARRIAGE ON THE BELT AND A BELT SPEED SENSOR TO CONTINUOUSLY TOTALIZE THE WEIGHT OF MATERIAL FLOWING OVER THE BELT. THE CONVEYOR IS AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED WHEN THE PRESET WEIGHT OF MATERIAL HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO A TRUCK. A CONSOLE AT THE TRUCK LOADING STATION ALLOWS THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL PRESET FOR EACH TRUCK AND CAN BE ARRANGED TO PRINT THE WEIGHT DELIVERED ON A TICKET. /AUTHOR/
