ATLANTA - Siemens Industry, Inc. today announced the U.S. introduction of a new heavy-duty weighfeeder for high capacities up to 800 TPH (tons per hour). The Sitrans WW300 weighfeeder provides consistent and accurate results in the control of continuous in-line weighing and feeding applications. Its applications range from the agricultural industry to the cement industry.

The new Sitrans WW300 has ultra-sensitive load cells, which provide high weighing accuracy for optimizing blend consistencies and accountability. Its patented, virtually maintenance-free “unibody design” provides ample room and easy accessibility. This allows easier inspection, cleanout and belt replacement.

The new heavy-duty Sitrans WW300 weighfeeder complements the Siemens weighfeeder portfolio, which includes the WW100 model, a high accuracy, low capacity weighfeeder, and the WW200 model, a low- to medium-capacity weighfeeder. All Sitrans weighfeeders come standard with a weighbridge and speed sensor.
