The Volumetric Load Scanner Advantage
Creating Better Payload Management Solutions
• What is Volumetric Load Scanning? •
Volumetric load scanning is a relatively new weight measuring system technology that is providing exciting opportunities for applications spanning the spectrum of industry. It is a revolutionary approach to payload management, and it is a solution that your industrial, construction, mining, or agricultural process may be able to take advantage of.
Rather than depending on a static scale, a volumetric scanner measures the bulk material that is loaded in a truck using 3D imaging software. This innovative system is able to provide automatic volume calculations of loaded trucks. As trucks slowly move beneath the suspended scanner, which in itself is a remarkably small device compared to traditional scales, the scanner automatically measures the truck load, records the results, and sends them directly to an operator. Walz is proud to have set the industry standard for this new technology, and we’re confident that it will absolutely change the way that your construction, mining, industrial, or agricultural application approaches payload management.
The Benefits of Volumetric Load Scanning
You may be wondering how a volumetric load scanning system can offer advantages to your specific application that make traditional scale systems either obsolete or less necessary. While there is no denying the practical usefulness of truck scales, which we have no intention of eliminating from our production, more and more volumetric scanning systems are becoming an increasingly viable alternative. Here are just some of the benefits that you can expect to take advantage of with a volumetric load scanning system:

Regardless of if you need a scale or a scanner to best accomplish your application goals, Walz Scale will provide the best solution. We are happy to be your one-stop-shop for all things related to weight data management.
Load Scales are Not Obsolete
