Load Cells

The surge bin rests on four shear-beam load cells that continuously weigh the surge bin to let the operator know how much mix is in the bin. Mix amounts dropped into the bin by the batcher are tracked by computer. Likewise, truck load-out weight is recorded by the computer and the system generates a printed ticket for each truck. The NTEP certified under slung load cell mounts provide accurate and reliable weighing and loadout performance. The under slung mounting feature ensures precise and stable bin positioning to achieve easy calibration and steady scale response.

Control Centers

The standard 12x12 foot control center is a fully equipped, climate controlled plant operating environment. Like all Astec control centers, it comes completely wired and with all controls installed.

Astec control centers can be permanently mounted on the frame of the SEB or remotely postioned.

An optional, larger “pilot” control center, with room for an office, is also available.

Options

Emission-capturing canvas covers and load-outs tunnels as well as articulating suspension are available.
