Tote Bin Weighing System for 1000 Litre IBC’s
5IBC/1000/BWM/300/B
Tote Bin Weighing System Description
This tote bin weighing system was designed to be pre-loaded with a maximum of 5
IBC’s of various ingredients which are placed onto the IBC Platform. There is a
200 or 300 Litre tote bin tote bin weighing system mounted underneath the IBC Platform
which can be moved under power to each of the five discharge positions. The tote
bin weighing system is driven to each discharge position via a motor gearbox and
toothed drive belt. Each discharge position has a position sensor to stop the tote
bin weighing system at exactly the right position. Once in the correct position,
the contents of the IBC can be dispensed directly into the stainless steel tote
bin. As the contents of the IBC are discharged, the weight of product will be displayed
on the weighing indicator. The tote bin weighing system is constructed entirely
from stainless steel grade 304 and is a fully TIG welded construction.
The tote bin weighing system can be fitted with a variety of load measuring equipment
depending on specific requirements. The standard machine has a Toledo load cell
and an Ian Fellows Lucid Display Indicator. All of the electrical equipment is mounted
in enclosures rated to at least IP65. This machine is designed so that the tote
bin is loaded and unloaded from the front by simply wheeling it onto the weighing
platform.

Tote Bin Weighing System Application Story
The requirement for this tote bin weighing system was to weigh out various ingredients
from Plastic IBC’s and feed directly into a 200/300 Litre tote bin. The tote bin
was then lifted and tipped using a Single Column Lifter directly into various cooking
vessels. The IBC’s were loaded by fork truck onto the platform measuring approximately
6500mm Long x 1500mm Deep and 1200mm High. The platform was manufactured from 304
Grade Stainless Steel box section with a 5mm thick plated top. The top had various
cut outs through which the contents of the IBC’s could be discharged into the tote
bin. The tote bin weigher was mounted on a rail underneath the platform and was
driven between each of the IBC discharge points via a motor gearbox and toothed
drive belt.
