Dynamic train weighing ensures optimum safety of railway trains.
The bogie wheel impact load measurement system improves safety by preventing damage to rolling stock (goods wagons) on railway tracks.
This system also helps to improve cost management and reduces the maintenance of the rail network which must be maintained in good condition.
Train load monitoring improves rail safety and avoids unnecessary and premature rail wear.
TAMTRON Silverpoint+ controle weighing system is designed for controlling overloads and detecting loading imbalances.
The system weighs trains and wagons while they are in motion.
It weighs every wheel, axle, bogie and wagon and detects imbalances between bogies, making it also suitable for controlling loading errors.
Additionally, the system measures the total weight of the train as well as the speed at which it passes the weighing area.
The scale is extremely accurate and has been approved for commercial use in the EU.
Easy to install, independent control station for improved railway safety:
The Silverpoint+ control weighing system is quick and easy to install.
The load cells are installed on the existing track by one person, and no track work is required.
There is no need to halt traffic at all during the installation.
The scale instruments and measuring electronics containing the measuring software are placed indoors in a control centre or outdoors in a cabinet near the track, from which the information can be transferred wirelessly for business or monitoring use.
The separate measurement instrument protects the software from viruses and other external risks.
The system works independently without an operator, sending warnings regarding overloads or incorrectly loaded wagons in accordance with pre-set alarm limits.
Error alarms are launched in accordance with the customer’s needs, e.g. with a sound signal or a text message.
Weighing information management:
Information regarding measuring results is collected in an easy-to-utilise format on a train report.
The report includes the train number, the number of wagons and their weights, axle weights and any other measured information.
Reliability and safety can be increased with add-on functions to the Silverpoint+ control weighing system, such as the wagon identification and description functions.
When wagon numbers and weighing results can be combined reliably, erroneous information caused by issues such as incorrect train lists or wagons removed along the way can be avoided.
The train identification function can be used to compare measuring results with the maximum load allowed for a wagon, for example.
TAMTRON trapper railway weighing system:
The Tamtron Trapper train scale system is the best weighing system on the market that has been approved for commercial use.
Large steel mills, national transport operators and oil refineries across the globe rely on Trapper’s excellent accuracy.
When the scale’s results are used as a basis for payments when buying and selling valuable materials or products, only a genuinely working solution in the highest accuracy class can be relied on.
Main characteristics of the trapper railway weighing system:
- Type-approved in the highest accuracy class in accordance with the MID directive
- Suitable for stationary and in-motion weighing
- Also suitable for in-motion weighing of liquid cargo wagons
- Quick installation, no need for track work
- More than 500 deliveries worldwide in 30 years
Trapper railway weighing system is equally suitable for stationary and in-motion, train-specific and wagon-specific weighing.
Optimal accuracy is achieved when the train is weighed wagon by wagon while stationary. The scale system is also suitable for in-motion weighing of liquid cargo wagons thanks to its compensation for displacement of the centre of mass.
The Trapper train scale system also includes features that improve safety, such as an overload alarm and loading error alarms that can be triggered by loading errors related to individual bogies or load positioning.
When the set alarm limits are exceeded, an error alarm is launched in accordance with the customer’s needs, e.g. with a sound signal or a text message.
Dynamic weighing information management
The customer can decide which file format is used for the weighing information in the Tamtron Trapper train scale system.
The information can be transferred via an Internet connection as an .xml or a text file, for example.
If necessary, the information transfer can also be integrated to the customer’s ERP or other system. Reliability and safety can be increased with add-on functions to the Trapper train scale system, such as the wagon identification and description functions.
When wagon numbers and weighing results can be combined reliably, erroneous information caused by issues such as incorrect train lists or wagons removed along the way can be avoided.
This solution is tailored to the customer’s needsCette solution
The Tamtron Trapper train scale system is suitable for all kinds of train weighing needs, as it can be tailored to meet the customer’s exact needs.
Trapper deliveries are always designed customer-specifically. The final configuration of the scale system is affected by various factors such as wagon lengths, distances between bogies and the materials usually transported on the trains.
The customer is always provided with a train scale system that is optimal in terms or technology, length, functions and price for an individual operational environment.
Other solutions are available for weighing wagons, by including a weighbridge (for static weighing only).
