J&M Manufacturing Adds Industry-First Abilities to SpeedTender Systems with Intercomp On-Board Scales

J&M Manufacturing Co., Inc., a leading manufacturer of grain handling equipment for over 60 years, was searching for a single-sourced scale and wireless control system to integrate into their conveyor lines of SpeedTender Systems. Along with an easy-to-use design and an intuitive user interface, the system needed to incorporate industry-first features that would drive efficiency and help their customers get back to planting faster.

“Intercomp’s system made key features like auto dispense easier to use and added new features that help drive our customers’ productivity. The adaptability of the Intercomp platform helps us to set up the system to best meet our customers’ evolving needs.”

– Mitchell Wood, J&M Manufacturing Co., Inc.

As J&M was looking to implement features that would differentiate them from their competition, it was a top priority for setup and operation to be intuitive without requiring users to reference a manual. Intercomp’s RFX® Wireless On-Board Scale Systems provided the simplicity they required and were flexible enough to integrate custom-designed features, such as Auto Dispense, which allows users to select a target amount and unload that exact amount each time. The system was designed with additional unique capabilities, including a Talc application rate that proportionally adjusts to unloading conveyor speed and the ability to clean out the conveyor while still dispensing the target amount when loading the last planter box.

An HH520™ RFX® Wireless Handheld, capable of controlling up to 26 equipment functions, allows operators to control the system from the most convenient location. The HH520™ functions are fully customizable and include controlling auger movements, On/Off control, Open/Close gate functions, tracking ProBox and bin weights, Auto Dispense, and more. An Intercomp scale indicator with backup controls allows users to keep running even if the wireless remote is lost or damaged.

The use of an Intercomp on-board scale and equipment control system on the seed tender increases efficiency and profitability for any operation. Waste is reduced by adjusting the application rate to match unloading conveyor speed, and time is saved when the conveyor is cleaned out while dispensing continues. Completely wireless control of the tender, including engine Start/Stop, ensures quick turnaround times when loading the planter. Accurate inventory management eliminates unnecessary trips to refill when seed runs out. Intercomp’s complete solution of RFX® Wireless On-Board Scale Systems with handheld equipment control allows operations to plant more acres in less time during the busy planting season while delivering years of reliable, accurate, and trouble-free performance.
