35 AGGREGATES MANAGER / September 2016 by Therese Dunphy | Editor-in-Chief | tdunphy@randallreilly.com SUPPLYLINES Weighs and Means To keep track of the profits flowing through your operation, consider strategic placement of scales. To address limitations of traditional, load-cell based belt scales, Etheridge Automation developed a new solution for the aggregates industry: Etheridge Software Scales. They are designed for in- stallation in the motor starter of the conveyor, with no electrical components outside of the MCC and with no moving parts. They are said to be easy to install and offer automatic calibration and are easily transferrable from one conveyor to another. Accuracy is not compromised over time, and production can be measured accurately and reliably. Etheridge Automation | www.etheridgeautomation.com DataBridge Vehicle scale management software, from Mettler Toledo, gives users control of scale functions on their computer and stores a detailed record of each weighing transaction. From standard functions, such as generating reports and tickets, to advanced options, such as unattended terminal controls, invoicing, and image capture, this highly configurable package offers a powerful tool for capturing and analyzing data. Good data management software eliminates the inaccuracies of hand-written transactions and offers a safe, secure option for businesses to accurately track loads. Mettler Toledo | www.mt.com Easily installed belt scales Safe, secure scale management software Cardinal Scale's Guardian Hydraulic Truck Scales offer a high level of protection against many of the conditions that can ad- versely affect truck scale installations. Water, lightning, power surges, explosive areas, shock loading, and extreme tempera- ture fluctuations can cause scale problems, all at a cost to the owner. Cardinal Scale manufactures its own stainless steel SST hydraulic load cells for all Guardian truck scales. These load cells carry a lifetime warranty when installed by an authorized dealer. They are said to offer the highest level of protection possible. Concrete or steel deck options are available. Both op- tions offer solid decks that stand up to heavy loads. Every scale is 100-percent factory assembled and tested before shipping. Cardinal Scale | www.cardinalscale.com Protection against adverse conditions
