Milltronics MWL weight
lifter is a mechanical calibration weight lifter for MSI, MMI, and MUS
belt scales. The MWL mechanically raises and lowers the static weights and
then stores the weights securely above the belt scale calibration arms,
and allows the operator to lower and apply them safely without having to
lean into the conveyor. The MWL is manually operated, and utilizes a high
mechanical advantage to enable weights up to 500 pounds to be applied with
very limited effort. The crank handle uses 4 rotations for full range of
motion, and can be removed and stored for safety with the locking ball-pin
which secures the MWL when it is not in use.
Two lifting pads support a
base-bar weight above the test- weight brackets of the belt scale: either
flat bar or horseshoe style calibration weights are applicable. Locating
notches in the base-bar weight engage the calibration weights securely on
the lifting pads in the stored position, and the worm gear drive locks the
lifting pads in place.
Installation is easy, just 4
bolt holes to drill after locating the MWL gear modules (LH and RH) on the
conveyor with respect to the belt scale. After running the MWL empty to
ensure proper alignment, and then tightening mounting bolts, you are ready
for the loading of the test weights. This is the last time that they will
have to be lifted by hand.
- Safe and easy application of belt
scale reference weights with the operator remaining external to the
conveyor

to different conveyor widths
- Low profile allowing easy fit into
belt conveyor
- Easy to install and apply
- Easy to store drive handle (can be
applied to left or right side of MWL)
- Security pin used to ensure safe
storage of weight
- Can be used with new and existing
applications
