Which Survivor Is Right For You?
Over the years we have been asked quite often “out of all the different Rice Lake Survivor truck scales, which one is right for my application”? In the next few entries we will take a look at the different versions available.
The 2 most significant aspects influencing the expected lifetime of the truck scale are truck volume and axle loading. Weighing greater than one hundred vehicles a day is heavy traffic, yet many customers weigh two hundred or more vehicles in a day. Whenever the daily quantity surpasses two hundred fifty vehicles each day or roughly a truck every 2 minutes, back-ups, delays and a loss of future business may be expected. Many organizations weighing greater than two hundred fifty vehicles every day will discover they require an additional weight scale. While Rice Lake’s SURVIVOR OTR scales have a CLC rating of 100,000 pounds, understanding the type of truck and its quantity of axles can be essential in selecting the right weighing machine. It only takes a single significantly overloaded 18 wheeler to result in long term damage to a scale improperly suited for the application. Operations involving quarries, mining operations, fly ash, asphalt, construction, landfills, transfer station, steel mills, logging operations among others demand careful evaluation by a professional to specify the proper weighing machine for the application.
SnapStream
SnapStream is the only legal-for-trade wireless scale system in the marketplace for commercial purposes. Its entirely proprietary to Cardinal Scale and provides numerous competitive benefits for brand new or pre-existing truck scale operations.SnapStream is a digitally-controlled weighing and diagnostic system developed using 802.15.4 Zigbee protocol for accurate and reliable weight and data transmitting. SnapStream can be utilized with Cardinal’s model 205, 210, and 225 digital weight indicators.
CONNECT WITHOUT CABLES
SnapStream can be set up utilizing one to sixteen load cells. The SnapStream truck scale junction box accomodates two to four 4-cell analog boards. These junction boxes carry out the analog-to-digital weight conversion process for each load cell and will transmit data wirelessly to Cardinal’s 205, 210, and 225 indicators in which the weight data is actually displayed.
Furthermore, the indicators can send data wirelessly to any remote displays, printers, or local remotes Cardinal can offer. The communications module could also be used to interface wirelessly from the weight indicator to a Personal computer using USB, RS232 serial, or Ethernet connectivity or a printer using RS232 serial or Ethernet.

Load Cell Pocket Makes A Difference
Load cell openings that are welded or bolted to exterior I-beams make it possible for too much bending and flexing, leading to damage to the weighbridge. Bumper bolts ease and crack. Check rods bind. Rice Lake SURVIVOR series truck scales are made with the load cell pocket incorporated into the steel framework of the scale.
The pocket is built within the outer I-beam, offering a far more durable, long-lasting load cell pocket. Load cell pockets are made out of heavy-duty steel plates incorporated into the design of the scale. Large wide-flange I-beams encompass the pocket integrating it into the weighbridge structure. This adds extraordinary strength and dependability to a extremely critical section of the weighbridge.
Numerous competitive models implement either bumper bolts or check rods for centering the scale. Check rods will add to the initial price of the scale and bumper bolts require Continue reading
