For al lot of companies, controling the incoming and outgoing flow of goods and monitoring the return of the production in the company has become more and more important. Therefore, Robbe Industries has created different solutions, in order to measure in a very accurate way.

As a matter of fact, we handle all kinds of bulk material, from non-food, like sand, raw materials, minerals, animal feed (wheat, corn, broken rice, …) to food products.

Moreover, we have the necessary expertise in the field of Atex. Therefore, we can apply hopper scales and ship unloaders in explosive environments. For this, we can make use of some of our own developed critical components which are Atex certified.

Robbe Industries develops and produces all discontinuous totalising weighers in-house. Hence, we can adapt our standard weighing solutions to your specific needs. Our standard solutions have a flow rate of 5-500 m3/h. If necessary, this can be increased up to more than 1,000 m3/h. For goods that are rather abrasive, we can also provide additional wear plates or special coatings.

Do you dispose already over a fixed place at the dockside, where you can unload the goods from the boat? Then we can provide a fixed automatic receipt scale. Hence, the goods can be weighed before they are stocked in silos. This weigher consists of a receipt funnel, a weigh funnel with very reliable and robust stainless steel load cells and an outflow hopper. The construction of the hoppers is custom-made by our engineering team, so they can be installed in existing buildings, without any problem.

In case you dispose of several unloading points, our dust-free, mobile discontinuous totalising hopper scale can be an effective solution. This device consists of its own traction belt. It can even be equipped with levelling, hydraulic outriggers. In case you work with very dusty products, we can install a dust extractor too. The integrated compressor with cooling unit makes sure that you just need to connect a power cable in order to be operational.

Our hoppers are stand-alone weighing systems which, of course, have to be integrated in your existing PLC systems. Moreover, it is possible to transfer all weighing data to your ERP package, in a digital way. We dispose of our own IT service. This enables us to automate and extend unlimitedly. This way, we can meet your requirements in the future too.

Both types of devices are first calibrated and then delivered. This way, you can control your suppliers and avoid unnecessary discussions.

Of course, you can also contact us for maintenance or re-inspection. Our team of inspectors are authorized to execute the re-inspection of automatic hopper scales, respecting the OIML R107 norms. Moreover, we can integrate a 4 G module. This way, remote support or preventive maintenance is possible too.

The follow-up of your product flow is just as important as a correct intake.

Therefore, our smaller in-line weighers take care of the accurate follow-up of product flows through your company. Those hopper scales can handle small flow rates as well as big flow rates, from 5-50 m3/h, depending on the product. For this, it is very important that all data are shared with your ERP system.

Also, the supply and disposal of bulk goods can be provided.
