Milltronics Weighing Components Featured on Continental Weighfeeders
MSI Belt Scale
The unique patented design of Milltronics MSI belt scale allows direct application of the weighfeeder loading on its dual load cells. There are no pivots, bearings, trunnions or flexures to hamper the weighing process. The load cells are electronically balanced to assure the weighing process is immune to changes in loading across the width of the belt. These features result in faster reaction time to variations in load, which allow greater weighing accuracy and feed rate control of the conveyed product. Feeding accuracy of +/- 0.5% can easily be realized and maintained with the MSI belt scale system.
ACCUMASS BW100 and BW500 Integrators
Both of Milltronics low cost, microprocessor based integrators display flow rate, total, load, and speed, while providing isolated 0-20 or 4-20mA output proportional to rate and a dry contact closure for remote totalization. All programming and calibration functions can be carried out using the cover mounted keypad. The BW100 has a LCD display. The BW500 has an easy to read backlit display and both units have a programmable relay for low/high alarming of rate, speed or load.
MD Speed Sensors
Milltronics speed sensors, which are driven by the weighfeeder tail pulley or live shaft roller, are housed in a rugged weatherproof enclosure. Models MD-36, MD-256, and the higher resolution MD-2000A, all produce two high resolution quadrature square wave outputs, 90 degrees out of phase. This principle of operation guarantees reliability and accuracy making the speed sensors virtually immune to vibrations generated by plant equipment.
Continental Conveyor, established since 1963, specializes in the design, engineering and manufacture of mechanical bulk materials handling equipment and systems. Industries served include: cement, pulp and paper, mining, reconstituted wood products, smelting and reduction, quarrying, chemical, power plants, ports, and marine trans-shipping.
Production is rationalized between 2 modern plants located in Thetford Mines, Quebec and Napanee, Ontario. Production facilities include 40,000 square feet in Thetford Mines and 26,000 square feet in Napanee. Each plant is well equipped with the necessary fabrication equipment such as plate shears, press brakes, plate bending rolls, pantographs, and numerous welding stations and positioners of a variety of types. Each plant has a machine shop that is able to perform most of the turning, milling and boring that is required for the equipment being manufactured. Both plants have their own indoor facilities for shot-blast cleaning and painting.
Our total staff includes: 80 plant employees, 16 mechanical designers using AutoCAD, 3 professional engineers (2 mechanical & 1 structural), 3 project managers, 10 sales and approximately 10 support and administrative staff. Of the design and project management staff, 6 have extensive experience in supervising the installation and starting-up/commissioning of all the types of equipment that we supply. Together they have a wide range of problem solving skills gained from projects in many different industries and locations.
Our product range includes:
