Installation of a 3×16-meter, 100-ton weighbridge at a sand and gravel yard in Quanzhou
This project case study details a weighing system upgrade at a large-scale sand and gravel yard in Quanzhou. The facility primarily handles the processing of sand and gravel aggregates, stone transshipment, and earthwork transportation, with heavy-duty dump trucks and semi-trailer trucks constantly moving in and out of the site. The worksite is characterized by heavy dust, standing mud and water, and corrosive sand and gravel materials, compounded by the extreme impact forces generated during the loading and unloading of stone materials. Conventional weighbridges have limited load-bearing capacity. Prolonged heavy traffic often leads to issues such as deformation of the weighbridge structure, dust and water ingress into the load cells, and erratic data readings. These problems result in significant measurement errors and frequent maintenance, severely impacting the efficiency of material intake and shipment settlement. To optimize weighing management within the facility and improve the accuracy of trade settlements, the sand and gravel yard selected Fujian Fangda Weighing Instruments for equipment upgrade and replacement.
Taking into account the harsh operating conditions at the sand and gravel yard, we have equipped the client with a 3×16-meter, 100-ton reinforced industrial truck scale. The scale frame features a heavy-duty welded structure with thickened U-shaped beams and a dense arrangement of main beams, providing strong load-bearing capacity. It is capable of withstanding frequent碾压 by heavy vehicles and the instantaneous impact of stone loading and unloading, ensuring a stable structure that resists deformation. To address the site’s high levels of dust and mud corrosion, the scale body undergoes a sandblasting and rust-removal process followed by a heavy-duty anti-corrosion baked paint finish. The surface is wear-resistant and scratch-resistant, and all equipment wiring is fully sealed to provide dust and water resistance as well as acid and alkali corrosion resistance, making it suitable for harsh outdoor operating environments.
The equipment is equipped with shock- and dust-resistant digital sensors that resist vibration and dust interference. Even under complex operating conditions, weighing data remains stable and accurate, with no data jumps or drift, ensuring precise control over the measurement of sand and gravel raw material intake and finished aggregate output, thereby guaranteeing fair and transparent transaction settlements. As a manufacturer, we provide one-stop implementation services, including on-site surveys for scale placement planning and optimized drainage and foundation solutions. Our professional team performs standardized installation, wiring, and commissioning. The equipment complies with national metrological verification standards and is eligible for annual verification inspections.
Once the equipment is operational, vehicle traffic flows smoothly through the weighbridge, and equipment failure rates drop significantly, effectively reducing operational and maintenance costs. Fujian Fangda Weighing Equipment specializes in the production and R&D of industrial weighing equipment, with deep expertise in the sand and gravel, mining, and building materials industries. Through solid craftsmanship, top-tier quality, and comprehensive after-sales service, we provide stable and durable weighing solutions for various industrial and mining enterprises.
