Sophisticated on-board weighing systems for use with wheeled loaders and excavators are being offered by Loup Electronics. The innovative LOADEX 100 is a retrofittable scale installed on tracked and wheeled excavators and material handlers to weigh the amount of material load in the bucket or grab. Pressure signals are captured, filtered and corrected by measuring the angle of the main boom using either an RDS Inclinometer or Mechanical Angle sensor. When used dynamically, the pressures are captured through

SmicoSymons, formed from Smico Manufacturing and Symons Screens, offers what it claims is the screening industry’s first hydraulically-operated opening and closing clamp rail system for fast change-outs of worn or broken tensioned screen media on one or more decks simultaneously. With a push of one or more buttons, clamp rails on selected decks or all decks will hydraulically open. Once replacement media is in place, one or more buttons will close and tighten the clamp rails to the specified distance from
