Accurate product monitoring, regulation directives and operational efficiencies continue to be ever increasingly important to managing the business from billing to inventory control and reporting. To ensure operational efficiencies and optimum usage of product, it is imperative to have the latest technology in the form of a control system and data logger; and, ones that are operator friendly. The TREAD proBlast and datalogger control systems, having varying levels of sophistication, will provide a stream of capabilities that are custom configured specific to your company requirements.

• The TREAD proBlast control system is designed to be simple, easily operated, extremely accurate and provides the greatest level of functionality and expansion capability for the explosive industry.
• The TREAD proBlast will allow monitoring of production rates, emulsion ratios, hole totals, job totals and allows for defined “presets” so that the loading automatically stops when the “preset” amount has been reached.
• The TREAD Datalogger feature is designed to capture very extensive levels of operational information relative loading, hole depths, temperatures, calibration, volumes, formulas, alarms, time on job and other operational criteria. From this expansive pool of information that is available, TREAD can thereby customize a program specific to the customer’s needed monitoring and data reporting requirements.
• The TREAD proBlast electrical controls are all designed for the rugged explosive industry. The sunlight-readable color screen is reliable in the off-road environment and can be operated at extreme temperatures. All control modules are sealed (IP67) for all weather conditions; and, resist extreme vibration.
• The TREAD proBlast can be programmed with up to 12 unique formulas. You have the option to use the “Simple Mode” for basic user needs, or switch to the normal mode for greater options and user control.
• The TREAD proBlast system offers multiple control stations with display screens, joysticks and push button controls for the selection of all formulas and functions.
• The TREAD controls, mounted in the cab, outside on the fenders, or both, are compatible with any type of bulk truck. Thus, with the TREAD proBlast, the operator will have the exact same control interface regardless of the design truck he is working. As the operator is trained and comfortable with one truck, he can operate any type truck with a proBlast control system.
• The TREAD proBlast system allows you to define your own formulas ahead of time to ensure product consistency; and, have the ability to have proBlast adjust gassing rates based upon product temperature.
• The TREAD proBlast control system has built-in self-diagnostic capabilities that will locate and identify errors in the unlikely event a problem occurs. And, in most instances, problem issues can be easily resolved over the phone with a TREAD support technician.
• The TREAD proBlast relies on a pressure-compensated proportional hydraulic system that eliminates the need for supplementary vales and in turn allows the computer to accurately control all component rates and ratios.
• The TREAD proBlast “Soft-Start” feature allows the hydraulic motors to gradually ramp up in speed versus a sudden jerk start which significantly reduces the “shock” to the product pump.
• The TREAD proBlast utilizes a CAN bus interface, plug-and-play, with compatibility for over a dozen different Can bus devices (remote control, extra readouts, button panels) via a single cable connection. The Can bus networking means fewer cables and wires.
• The TREAD proBlast will support new and future CAN based devises with a simple software update without changes to existing hardware.
• THE TREAD proBlast PROVIDES A RETROFIT SYSTEM FOR YOUR EXISTING BULK TRUCK.
