Show me a pic of how the wind screen goes on.
I got one but couldn't figure out out !
My scale is the old one.

maybe I'm using the wrong term, it's the plastic enclosure that comes with IP System, I think you have it in your video, there's a sliding panel you can close to stabilize the scale.

Yep it's on there now. I just didn't sit down with it to figure out out.
Those newer Sartorius are nice !
Thanks guys

Which version of the Sartorius do you have?

Entris 1s. Paul told me they were discontinued 10+ years ago. I've had it about 8yrs. I guess i bought new old stock. Idk

 

[Chaotik]

I have the entris 64-1s, which I believe is the same one you have. I bought mine about 12 years ago, and it is awesome scale. Still waiting for Paul to ship my draft shield for the Sartorius…. I ordered and received the IP and A&D draft shield. Not sure which I will eventually use, but being able to use the 3rd decimal is very tempting, as Mark has indicated.

So I'm doing my first setup and go to do calibration, it keeps binding up. This is the culprit in my Varget, a kernel that's nearly twice longer and C shaped. It wasn't the only one like that either. Needless to say they don't feed through the trickler. My point is if you can't see anything obvious, might be one or more of these...

Was the hang up in the trickler unit or in the main throw side?
I recently had main throw issues with Varget {in an Auto Trickler Mk1 but updated with the IP Trickler} where is seemed to be that grains of powder were being caught up half in and half out of the charge area when the throw happened…
I would have expected this to be more of an issue with longer granules such as 4831 {not the sc though sometimes}
Not had the issue before but new jug of powder suddenly had 4 issues over 150 throws.
Now you have me curious enough to dump out some powder and go over it to see if it has some of those half moon pieces…

 

[muleystalker]

Correct they are .01 or so off. But I'll tell you. Just waving your hand by the Sartorius makes the#'s run. I had to get the decimal point down to two because I couldn't keep that third still enough for the thing to come on. Very sensitive scales. Just punching the tear button causes it to move.
I just did 70 and I'm tired as heck !
I was also over tapping. I was watching the scale not the tube.

Place a small piece of scotch tape on the lite cup to bring them to the same weight then you won't have to tare it each time when changing cups.

Or sandpaper a little off the heavier one...

Or seat bullets in between dumps and only use 1 cup, it's faster in the long run. Especially when you ass up and accidentally dump powder over all those open top cases and have to dump them all and start over.

Mine seems to be MIA in the USPS system. Left OKC on the 31st and no updates since. Typically get things from Oklahoma in a few days being so close.

I feel for you on that deal.
I've lost some sail tails going around & around out west for weeks before they get to the destination.

Trickler cup, the main thrower seemed fine. It's just cause the slots in the disks expect straight kernels of x size, after I saw this one I was like OH, yeah that won't work. I had it bind up several times while attempting calibration so I'm guessing there were others like it in that batch.

Once I had good powder in the cup calibration completed ok and the little bit of throwing loads went fine after a few throws to settle in.

I did notice a potential bug in the firmware, if the cup binds during calibration and you don't stop it via the X if will eventually time out. The issue is several times I tried it before realizing it was a bad kernel in there causing it, system said calibration complete when clearly it wasn't. It's not a big deal but something to be aware of. Watching it throughout calibration makes it obvious if this is the case, then just clean out the obstruction and redo the cal.

side note: this whole experience had me wondering what I got into for a bit as my Supertrickler has been hammering loads out lately. I had to remind myself why I ordered in the first place, marbles (ball powder) and horizontal rotating tubes are super temperamental to avoid spillage. A drop solves that problem and I'm sure once I get used to this unit I'll be happy as a pig in a mud hole.

I just submitted a form for potential lost package. It doesn’t take this long to get to OKC to Colorado. This mirrors the last package that got lost.

hmmm, guess I'll need to contact Hodgdon about: Varget 8# lot 8090622 7491
This was from two small checks from the bottle into a flat bottom tray, <5min of looking, I'd say this qualifies as a problem but now I know why I was having so many jams in the trickle cup and yeah the thrower was throwing a wild spread sometimes.

Reference, those stuck together are normal length kernels.

You have me looking ! (Not the same lott as you)
Out of 100 gn's i found one that was not cut 2x long. Nothing like what i see in your pic.
I would contact them. Maybe at the least you get a coupon.
Fyi
FB messaging has really been a great place for me to get the attention of companies about QC.
