Mining productivity is all about moving the maximum amount of material as efficiently as possible, shift after shift. For this, it is essential to have accurate, reliable material haulage measurement, analysis and reporting systems. You need to know if you are loading trucks to capacity every time – without overloading or unsafe loads. Does your operation just count trucks – leading to a culture of under-loading to increase load count?

Either stand-alone or supplementing existing mining weighing systems and monitoring/dispatch software the LoadScan Load Volume Scanner (LVS) system can improve the accuracy of material movement tracking and load data management, modify driver/loader operator behaviour and lead to improved haulage efficiency and increased productivity.

The LoadScan Load Volume Scanner (LVS) is a non-contact ‘drive-through’ truck measurement instrument for the volumetric measurement of bulk materials. LoadScan says it is the leading manufacturer of payload scanner based load management solutions for mining. “LoadScan are the leading experts in volumetric truck measurement solutions.

The company offers a range of cost-effective LVS configurations and truck measurement solutions to suit most applications. Whether it’s a highly portable system to move from job to job, a permanent installation or a fully customized application – “LoadScan has the truck measurement solution for you.”

LoadScan solutions for mining combine LVS measurement technology with mining specific software options for smarter haulage management. Non-contact, in-motion truck payload measurement does not need regular servicing or calibration.

There is no need to outfit an entire fleet of trucks with on-board weighing systems or install an expensive fixed truck scale. It can be a single installation with no major earthworks or fiddly calibration. Low running costs, full automation and low maintenance requirements make the LVS system very competitive on price.
