Weighbridge repairs were performed on an aging feedlot weighbridge owned by the University of New England at Armidale in northern NSW. Weighbridge repairs were necessary due to multiple failures of the existing weighbridge load cells fitted approx 18 years ago.
Accuweigh’s Newcastle branch repaired the weighbridge by fitting a new set of Flintec stainless steel weighbridge load cells. Although the original Phillips load cells were still available, the Flintec load cells were a more cost effective solution for repairing this weighbridge due to recent improvements in load cell design that significantly reduces load cell manufacturing costs.
Ultrahawke in Melbourne supplied the Flintec weighbridge load cells with custom made adaptor plates to ensure the weighbridge repairs were able to be completed quickly and problem free. A new digital weight indicator was also fitted to the weighbridge and connected to the clients existing ticket printer for recording the movements of cattle entering and leaving the feedlot.
