W Wykes Engineering has recently commissioned a ‘legal for trade’ Loadrite® L-2180™ wheel loader on-board weighing system, on one of its Volvo L110 wheel loaders. Halomec Ltd, Loadrite’s UK distributor, was selected in order to install the system, mainly on the weighing system’s blending and batching capabilities, whereby the weighing system is able to guide the operator on how much of each product to load in what sequence. This is especially useful in the Wykes application where the loader is able to be used in order to load power generation incinerators, with numerous different blends of waste.
It was vital that the system was able to be certified ‘legal for trade’ as Wykes are required to keep auditable details of what products have been incinerated. The system is further enhanced thanks to the integration of a wireless wifi telemetry system, which sends back real-time productivity data to the incinerator control room. The data is then stored and displayed on Loadrite’s MMS™ materials management software, from which reports are able to be run and historical data can also be gathered. MMS also has the capability to output weighing and productivity data, with the intention that this data will be integrated into the incinerator control system, in the future.
