Milltronics Weight Lifter MWL – Instruction Manual
7ML19981CR01
Milltronics Weight Lifter (MWL):
Introduction
The Milltronics Weight Lifter (MWL) mechanically raises and lowers the static
calibration weights used to calibrate Milltronics belt scales. It stores the weights
securely between the belt strands, above the calibration-weight support arms, and
allows the operator to lower and apply the weights safely without having to lean into the
conveyor.
The MWL is manually operated, and utilizes a high mechanical advantage to enable
weights up to 225 Kg (500 lb) to be applied with very limited effort. The crank handle can
be attached to either the left or right crank body. It uses 4 revolutions for full range of
motion, and can be removed and stored for safety on the locking ball-pin which secures
the MWL when it is not in use.
Two lifting pads support a base-bar weight above the calibration-weight supports of the
belt scale: either flat bar or horseshoe style calibration weights are available. 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. A manually-
applied locking-pin secures the MWL when the calibration-weights are in the stored
position.
Applications
The MWL is designed to work with the following Milltronics belt scales:
•
MUS-STD MIlltronics Standard Universal Scale
•
MUS-HD Milltronics Heavy-Duty Universal Scale
•
MSI
Milltronics Single Idler Scale
•
MMI
Milltronics Multiple Idler Scale (combination of 2 MSI Scales)
Belt Scale Manuals can be downloaded from the Milltronics website at:

Note:
Please follow the installation and operating procedures to ensure a quick,
trouble-free installation, and to allow for the maximum accuracy and reliability of your
Milltronics Weighing System.
