THE MOST ACCURATE WEIGHING AVAILABLE, WITHOUT COMPROMISING SAFETY

Trapper 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.

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.
