OverviewThe TrueRate™ is a gravimetric load-rate sensor that applies gain-in-weight weighing technology to material conveying and loading. It measures and displays weight per load cycle and reports throughput in lbs/hr (kg/hr), enabling precise material dosing to hoppers, surge bins or storage containers.
- Calculate and display the weight for each load cycle
- Tabulate running throughput in lbs/hr (kg/hr)
- Display total usage by time period in lbs/hr (kg/hr)
- Convey or dose exact amounts of resin to destination bins
Features- Load-cell gain-in-weight gravimetric accuracy within 1%
- Heavy-duty construction to protect sensor components
- Multiple load-cell platforms for mechanical stability (TrueRate 8 = two load cells; TrueRate 12 = three)
- Communication options for integration with external systems and equipment
- Alarms for resin or rate issues prior to blending, drying, or processing
- Compatible with Conair SmartServices™ and SQL reporting
- Accepts common supply loaders/receivers (24 VDC)
- Optional 4.3-inch touch screen for live data
- Optional pneumatic dosing valve for precise dosing and to prevent overfill/underfill
Frequently Asked Questions- Weight & throughput rate accuracy to 1% – The TrueRate™ uses gravimetric sensing to deliver load-cycle and throughput accuracy within 1%, providing measured confidence compared with totalizer-only systems.
- Intuitive control with live data – Optional 4.3-inch touch screen provides immediate readings and reduces lag in data updates.
- Inventory and resin codes – Up to 500 resin/product codes can be stored with solid and bulk density values to maintain inventory totals per code.
Options- Optional dosing valve – Pneumatically actuated valve to measure and dose specified amounts into a vessel below the TrueRate™, closing when target weight is reached to prevent overfill and reopening for the next batch.
