Modern Quarrying Q4 2024

Installation of the Tru-Trac belt scale at AfriSam’s Coedmore Quarry in KZN.

KwaZulu-Natal-based AfriSam Coedmore Quarry has found a fitting solution in Tru-Tracs’ belt scale.

Tru-Trac proposed a proof-of concept approach, whereby they installed a belt scale on a trial basis for a month. Upon evaluation of the results, we were impressed by the high levels of accuracy.

problems are a thing of the past. “We have now reverted to the usual quarterly stockpile surveys, which saves us both time and money,” says Maringa. Tru-Trac’s flagship TTR FI-4 belt scale system installed at AfriSam Coedmore uses a fully floating pivotless weigh frame supported by four load cells, making it ideal for high-precision applications. It is a simple and extremely accurate system engineered to produce precise data. With a proven accuracy margin under 0,1%, the belt scale sets industry standards in metallurgical accounting. “In addition to the accuracy of the technology, we are equally impressed by the service provided by Tru-Trac. Although they taught us to do in-house calibrations, a technician visits our site every month. Choosing Tru-Trac has proven to be one of the best business decisions we have made in recent times,” concludes Naidoo. l
