The Weigh Scale option for a DustMAX™ bulk bag filler includes a platform scale and a weight indicator. The NTEP approved platform scale is attached below the bag hanging frame. Power for the indicator is 120VAC. The digital weight indicator is mounted to the bag hanging frame in a convenient position for the operator. The digital weigh indicator can also be used for simple automation of the filling cycle when integrated with other optional items such as a pneumatic or electric slide gate valve. The indicator can also be used to turn on and off additional equipment feeding the unit or to alert the operator that the bag is full.
