This case study details the weighing system upgrade project at the Zhangzhou Cement Plant. The plant routinely transports bulk materials such as sand, gravel, clinker, and fly ash. With heavy-duty transport vehicles moving in and out constantly, the worksite is filled with dust, and sand and gravel cause severe wear and tear; moreover, the dust from these materials is corrosive. The plant’s original, outdated truck scales had poor structural integrity. Under prolonged heavy-load traffic, they were prone to issues such as deformation of the scale body, dust accumulation and moisture penetration in the load cells, and data drift. These problems not only compromised the measurement accuracy of incoming raw materials and outgoing finished products but also caused frequent breakdowns and downtime, severely disrupting the plant’s production and transportation schedules. Consequently, the plant ultimately selected Fujian Fangda Weighing Instruments to upgrade and replace its industrial truck scales.

Taking into account the harsh operating conditions of the cement plant—characterized by high dust levels, heavy loads, and severe wear—we configured a 3×16-meter, 100-ton heavy-duty industrial scale for the client. The scale frame is constructed from thickened U-shaped beams welded into a single unit. The main beams feature high density and strong load-bearing rigidity, enabling them to withstand frequent碾压 and loading/unloading impacts from heavy trucks over the long term, with excellent resistance to deformation. To address the plant’s high dust levels and the corrosive nature of cement dust, the scale body employs a heavy-duty anti-corrosion sandblasting and baking paint process, resulting in a surface that is wear-resistant and stain-resistant. Combined with a fully sealed protective structure that prevents dust and moisture from entering the equipment, this significantly enhances the equipment’s durability.

The equipment utilizes industrial-grade, high-precision digital sensors featuring strong anti-interference, dust-proof, and shock-resistant properties. It is designed to withstand the complex electromagnetic environments found in cement plants, ensuring stable weighing data without fluctuations. It strictly controls the measurement of raw materials (sand and gravel) entering the warehouse and finished cement products leaving the warehouse, ensuring accurate and compliant trade settlements for the enterprise. We provide a one-stop, factory-direct service. Our technical staff conducts on-site surveys of the plant’s road conditions to optimize the foundation load-bearing design. We standardize the entire process—from hoisting and installation to wiring, commissioning, and metrological calibration—ensuring the equipment fully complies with national metrological verification standards for long-term, compliant operation.

Since the weighbridge was put into operation, material transportation and weighing within the plant have been efficient and smooth, with a significant reduction in equipment failure rates, effectively lowering the company’s operational and maintenance costs. Fujian Fangda Weighing Instruments has deep roots in the weighing engineering sector of the southern Fujian heavy industry, specializing in the R&D and production of industrial heavy-duty weighbridges. With cutting-edge craftsmanship, consistent quality, and comprehensive after-sales support, we safeguard safe production for industrial and mining enterprises.
