Solar Powered Weighbridge For Hay Storage Facility


Solar Powered Weighbridge

Accuweigh’s Adelaide branch recently installed a solar powered weighbridge into a remote area of a farm that doesn’t have access to mains power. The weighbridge is used for weighing truckloads of hay coming in and going out from the storage sheds for Marrabel Hay in SA.

The solar cells easily provide enough power to operate the weighbridge and printer with batteries storing the excess current for use during extended cloudy/rainy periods.

The weighbridge is 18 metre long and 3 metres wide, uses six weighbridge load cells and has inspection platforms fitted to both sides of the weighbridge to allow for inspection and sampling of hay quality. A Rinstrum digital weight indicator displays the weighbridge weight readings and also sends weight data to a printer for recording and to a PC for invoicing/accounting use.

Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company and has branches in all mainland states offering local state based service support to national clients.
