This automatic weighing system is a critical supporting component for Brake Pads Machinery, specifically designed for the automatic weighing of raw materials (e.g., friction materials, fibers, steel wool) prior to mixing in brake pad production. Operating fully automatically based on friction material formulations stored in the PLC, it streamlines the pre-mixing process for both Car Brake Pads Machine and Truck Brake Pads Machine production lines. Once an operator selects a saved formulation, the system automatically weighs, gathers, and discharges materials into connected mixers—ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and consistency in high-volume brake pad manufacturing.

III. Integrated System Components
The system is a highly cohesive setup designed to work in tandem with Brake Pads Machinery, consisting of 6 key modules:
1. Materials Bins Layer
Serves as the primary storage hub for raw materials (powders, granules, fibers) used in brake pad friction formulations. Key features:
- Durable, inert construction to preserve material integrity.
- Level sensors for real-time inventory monitoring (prevents production delays from material shortages).
- Easy loading (manual or automated conveyor) to support continuous Brake Pads Machine operation.
2. First Weighing Mechanism
A precision instrument with high-resolution load cells and digital controls. Functions:
- Accurately measures initial weights of materials dispensed from bins.
- Logs weight data for each batch (supports quality control and traceability).
- Calibratable to meet specific accuracy needs for car vs. truck brake pad formulations.
3. Track & Trolley with 2nd Weighing Mechanism
Enables material transport and secondary verification:
- Sturdy track for smooth, precise trolley movement between bins, weighing stations, and mixers.
- Built-in 2nd weighing mechanism to confirm material weights (prevents losses during handling).
- Programmable speed and stop positions for coordination with mixers and other Brake Pads Machinery.
4. Mixing Machines
The “heart” of pre-production, where weighed materials are homogenized:
- Available in sizes (1200L, 600L) to match system throughput.
- Adjustable speed/time settings to avoid material degradation (critical for friction material performance).
- Safety features (overload/overheat protection) to ensure reliable operation.
5. Mixes Separating System
Divides homogenized friction material into specified portions or removes impurities:
- Uses sieving/filtering to achieve desired particle size (impacts brake pad friction characteristics).
- Separates unwanted debris to maintain material purity.
- Recycles excess material (reduces waste, lowers production costs for Brake Pads Machinery lines).
6. Prefabricated Frame Platform
Provides a stable, integrated structure for system components:
- Simplifies installation and reduces on-site construction time.
- Ensures proper alignment of bins, weighing mechanisms, and trolleys (critical for accuracy).
- Saves workshop space, ideal for compact Car Brake Pads Machine or Truck Brake Pads Machine facilities.
7. Data Report Check & Print
Enables end-to-end traceability:
- Generates detailed reports (batch weights, timestamps, material types).
- Printable for audits or quality records.
- Supports compliance with automotive industry standards for brake pad manufacturing.
IV. Application in Brake Pad Production
This system is an indispensable accessory for Brake Pads Machinery, directly contributing to:
- Car Brake Pads Machine lines: Ensures precise friction material blending for passenger car brake pads (focused on smooth braking and low noise).
- Truck Brake Pads Machine lines: Handles heavy-duty material batches and low-fluidity components (critical for truck brake pads’ durability under high loads).
By automating weighing, ensuring accuracy, and supporting traceability, it helps manufacturers deliver consistent, high-performance brake pads while scaling production efficiently.
