In-Motion Rail Scales

In-Motion Rail Scales are weighing devices that calculate the weight of animal carcasses hung from a motorized rail system in a meat processing plant. These scales are constructed using stainless steel components, feature a capacity range of 500 kg x 0.1 kg (or 1100 lb. x 0.2 lb) and can handle up to 2000 weighments per hour. These units are available in two live rail sizes, 36" for beef and 24" for pork.

Supplier:
Interweigh Systems Inc.
Model: ISI-8000 Dynamic Carcass Weigher

Function:
The Interweigh In-Motion Rail Scale is designed to capture the weight of an animal carcass as it travels along a motorized rail system. The scale is installed to replace a section of the motorized rail and thus becomes part of the live rail. The scale has a motorized chain that advances the trolley-hook along the scale at faster rate than the rails system itself. As the trolley-hook passes over the scale it trips a sensor that activates the weighing process.

History:
Interweigh has been providing static rail scales to the meat industry for over 20 years and introduced its Dynamic Carcass Weigher in 1997.

Description:
The In-Motion Rail Scale comes in two live rail sizes, 36" for beef and 24" for pork. Its stainless steel rail components are suspended from a 4 load cell support structure. The scale's support structure is mounted to the same structure as the rail system, thus avoiding any additional framing for installation.

Weighs & Measures:
Canadian approval # AM-5208C. Capacity is 500 kg x 0.1 kg or1100 lb. x 0.2 lb and up to 2000 weighments per hour.

Advantages:
Why choose Interweigh for your in-motion rail scale requirements? Interweigh is a leader in in-motion scale technology, which has been incorporated into the ISI-8000 line of products. This is a 4 load cell scale with rubber shock-mounts, which provides a level of stability to the scale not found in other dynamic rail systems. The ISI-8000 is built in our Markham facility and is installed by the same Technicians that assemble, test and service this product.

Applications:
In-motion Rail Scales are used by:

• Beef or Pork Producers to determine the Dressed Weight or Hot Weight of the carcass to pay the farmer and to determine the weigh going into the cooler.
• Beef or Pork Producers to determine the weight of a carcass as it leaves the cooler to calculate the shrinkage, while in the cooler and determine expected yields.
• Pork Producers to determine the amount of weight loss or gain during processing, such as smoking or seasoning.
