Operating Instructions, 03/2014, A5E33490433-AA

Introduction

SITRANS WW310 Weighfeeder is a medium-to-high capacity weighfeeder for macro ingredient

additives. It is designed for industrial applications such as mining, cement, chemcial processing,

pulp and paper, and other heavy-duty industries.
SITRANS WW310 comes with an integrated weigh bridge and a speed sensor. An integrator

and test weights are required to complete the system.

Note
The SITRANS WW310 Weighfeeder product is to be used only in the manner outlined in this

instruction manual.

Note
For industrial use only
This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a

residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications.
