INDUSTRY: petroleum, petro cake
PRODUCT: ASCOREL LOADER SCALE
The Ascorel Customer Service has been exceptional. They have responded very quickly to address any concern that we have had with the scale. Michael even came to California to diagnose a problem that was occurring. He solved the problem and re calibrated the system. We were back up and running in a matter of a few hours.
Dana Covington, Maintenance Supervisor

PROBLEM

Wheel Loaders are used to load over the road trucks and rail cars. 
An onsite weighbridge is used to measure the light weight and loaded weight of the over the road trucks and trailers.
There is no track scale for the rail cars. 
An Ascorel scale will be useful to accurately load the over the road vehicles before they cross the weighbridge. The over the road trucks have bottom dumping trailers that are very difficult to open and close if only a small amount of product is released in the case of over loading the trailer. 
The rail cars may travel hundreds of miles before being weighed. If they are overloaded a crew needs to be sent out to the remote site to unload the rail-car. The petro coke product is considered a hazardous material and requires complicated measures to handle when offsite.

SOLUTION

An MC382 scale was installed.
The petro coke product is a medium density product similar to decomposed granite. It also produces a fine black sooty dust that coats and penetrates everything. 
The loader is washed frequently with a high volume low pressure hose to reduce cross contamination between different grades of product. 
There are two types of trailers loaded. One will accept a full width bucket. While loading the second type 2 tons of material can spill to the ground after being weighed by the loader scale.
