Ronan X96S Radiametric Weighing System for Bulk Solids Flow

Ronan’s X96S non-contact weighing system is an economical approach for solids weighing on belt and screw conveyors. It is suitable for a wide range of difficult applications and process conditions, including dangerous materials like caustic, toxic, corrosive, explosive, and carcinogenic, regardless of their temperature. The modular design is ideal to upgrade older systems while keeping the existing sources.

Each system consists of a gamma source, frame, detector and measurement control computer. The entire system is mounted external to the conveyor and can be installed by simply bolting the frame around the conveyor, without the need to make any costly modifications to the conveyor itself. The lightweight, compact design enables it to be located in areas where space is limited, and there is no need for additional supports or foundations.

Ronan developed ultra-low-level sources to greatly improve safety and eliminate the requirement for surveys, wipe tests, inspections and much of the documentation. They are so safe the NRC permits their removal and installation without a licensed person being present, translating into significant cost savings for the user.
