Dynamic and static weighbridge for rail cars
Ensure precise legal-for-trade weighing and data recording of rail cars through dynamic and static operations, making it ideal for industries needing accurate measurement of both solid and liquid loads essential for safety and compliance.
The MULTIRAIL MultiBridge from Schenck Process is a versatile rail weighbridge system designed for the precise and legal-for-trade weighing of rail cars. It integrates high-precision static and dynamic scales utilizing Schenck’s sophisticated SENSiQ Weighbeam Railtec WBR and Weighdisc WDI sensors. Suitable for applications in the chemical, fertilizer, and cement industries, it handles a variety of end-products, including petroleum liquids, cement bags, and metal ores. This system supports both solid and liquid freights, offering operational flexibility within rail transport logistics. The MULTIRAIL MultiBridge enhances efficiency by processing weight data through advanced electronics and custom PC systems, ensuring compliance with legal standards. Engineered for demanding environments, it accommodates entire tank cars with high-precision load cells. The system is EBA-approved and supports installation beneath steel or concrete bridges, and includes customizable configuration options to suit specific operational needs.
