UTE GIREF – WASTE TREATMENT
Automation of the scales in the Ca na Putxa sorting plant in Ibiza
The new controlled waste deposit at Ca na Putxa has been designed to comply with European landfill regulations. The award was for UTE Giref who will operate the 50,000 square meter plant. This new plant, although it will employ about 60 workers, has been designed to be fully automated.
This automation, in terms of vehicle and truck access control, has been made possible thanks to Giropes' solutions. With two scales and a complete vehicle detection system the weighing operation is automatically recorded and transmitted to the control room.
Giropes' participation consisted in the supply, assembly, calibration and commissioning of two truck scales of 16 metres long, 3 metres wide with a capacity of 60 tons. The scale is coated with 4CM paint designed for marine environments and was complemented with a weight control system based on the GestruckPRO software, and a comprehensive access control system.
The access control system consists of GST2 unattended terminals with intercom, several sets of ANPR cameras for reading and recording number plates, automatic barriers with a vehicle detection system.
In order to provide the station with total autonomy, weight repeaters were also installed so that the drivers could see the weight at the time of weighing.
All this allows autonomous circulation through the weighing system and a registration of the vehicle and the transported materials controlled from the main offices of the plant, optimising the time invested in the weighing process and saving the time spent in the entry and exit of vehicles.
In addition, it will allow the management of the plant to be fully logged where the final result will be the packaging of the waste to be taken to the Peninsula and recycled, improving the treatment and recovery of recyclable materials.
A weighbridge with smooth plate. Easy to clean and available with an optional special finish to increase its resistance in adverse conditions.
Terminal for autonomous station with LCD display and RFID lector to detect the approach of the vehicles.
GESTRUCK 2 software offers a complete control of the weighing operations of vehicles, with an easy to understand interface, and which facilitates, above all, the collection of the desired information with the maximum accuracy and quickness possible.
