SafeWeigh provides effective monitoring at the weighbridge.
- 7th August 2006
- Materials Handling
The SafeWeigh system is specifically designed for the detection of radioactivity in vehicle loads entering or leaving industrial sites. As more and more materials are recycled, especially scrap metal, there is a growing need to monitor the waste material for traces of radioactivity before it is reprocessed or incinerated.
The system already has a proven track record at steel works, incineration plants, land fill sites and waste reprocessing plants. Weighbridges are critical control points at these operations and therefore the ideal location for monitoring radiation. As the loaded vehicle passes through the SafeWeigh detector plates, positioned each side of the weighbridge, it is scanned for traces of radioactivity. The system can be programmed for specific radiation thresholds and if it determines that a radioactive source is present, either in the load or the vehicle, the system actuates an alarm to immediately notify site security. SafeWeigh can also be linked to cameras to capture vehicle identification.
SafeWeigh provides a full radiation profile of the vehicle load and the system has been successfully integrated with Weightron’s comprehensive WinWeigh software suite. Multiple units can be networked via Ethernet and the powerful software records full details of any radioactive profiles, clearly identifying the strength and location. This allows management to take risk assessments in total confidence. Optional Geiger counters are available for detailed vehicle analysis.
To ensure peace of mind for the operator, Weightron offer a full calibration service at three, six or 12 month intervals using a known radioactive source.
