Weighing technology of MTS MessTechnik Sauerland GmbH ensures continuous supply of glass for the downstream processing plant Load cell for quantity measurement in glass processing Glass can be recycled an unlimited number of times - without any loss of quality. Hardly any other raw material can do this. The recycling cycle consists of the following steps: collecting glass, transporting it, processing it, melting it down and forming it into new glass products. The reprocessing process itself is very complex. In order not to lose sight of the effort required for reprocessing, it is essential to record the mass flows in the reprocessing process. With this in mind, the family-run recycling company Reiling Glas Recycling GmbH & Co. KG from Marienfeld turned to MTS MessTechnik Sauerland GmbH. The task was to record the input quantity of ”hollow glass” in the charging bunker in order to ensure a continuous supply of material for the downstream processing plant. And this, if possible, without any additional effort in the process sequence. Weighing technology from the high-load range The

Easy Access and Quick Maintenance required – tailored to the customer’s requirements The dross from a non-ferrous furnace needs to be cleaned out and separated from bulky materials, such as contamination from iron fittings or similar. The material temperatures are as high as 500°C, but sometimes up to 1.000°C resulting from iron nests. The fall height of the dross is at least 15.000mm. But the key requirement is to reduce the maintenance and access time for this equipment. The existing machinery is bolted to various supports and to the floor. The room height inside the acoustic booth is limited making it difficult to move parts by fork lifts. Dismantling, maintenance and re-assembly is taking at least two days with a lot of work force. The required machinery is a quite reasoned setup. Because of the fall height the dross needs to be collected on a vibratory trough conveyor. The high conveying good temperature gives the demand for a special heat expandable trough which is realized by special materials, spacers and a bolt on design giving the trough
