Belt Scales
Monitoring the material flow rate with a belt scale system ensures accurate and consistent weight output. Rice Lake’s line of durable belt scales are ideal for mining, quarries, bulk material blending, process control, and truck, barge or rail load-out applications. Belt scale systems are one of the fastest methods of moving and weighing bulk construction material.
Crane Scales
Rice Lake’s MSI crane scales bring safety to construction overhead load conditions by measuring the weight of bulk materials in process. Overhead weighing solutions provide real-time measurement of the operational load as well as immediate feedback to operators and safety systems, preventing and limiting unsafe conditions. Rice Lake’s trusted MSI overhead weighing solutions meet and exceed federal OSHA and local regulatory requirements to ensure compliance with safety standards.
Concrete Batching Simplified
The CB-3 concrete batching control system is fast, efficient and ideal for ready-mix and block plants. It is capable of controlling portable, stack-up, central mix, dry batch and pre-cast plants. From weighing raw material to automatic printing of tickets and detailed reports, the entire concrete batching operation is centrally controlled with the CB-3, all with the power of an industrial PC. Offering the ability to view multiple windows at once, the PC interface offers expanded possibilities to save time and optimize efficiency. Taking concrete plants to the next level, the CB-3 is an ideal upgrade to existing concrete batch controllers.
