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.
