Weighbridge Decks
Accuweigh’s QWM branch in Brisbane recently installed two heavy duty weigh bridges at Cement Australia’s Bulwer Island Plant. The weigh bridges are located directly under the over-head cement silos to allow the trucks to be filled according to the net weight of cement registered by the weigh bridges.
Both weigh bridges are 28m long by 3.25m wide with the concrete decks fitted flush with the entrance and exits bays of the building for ease of truck access. Due to the uneven ground levels inside the plant, the weigh bridge decks were poured outside and craned into position after they had cured.
Both weigh bridges are configured for dual range weighings with a total capacity of 80t using 8 x PT HPC 45t weigh bridge load cells each. An A&D 4323 digital weight indicator displays the weigh bridge weight readings and relays data to both a Rinstrum D740 remote display and to Cement Australia’s own weigh bridge software.
Accuweigh’s Brisbane South operation was recently merged with QWM’s Brisbane North weighbridge manufacturing facility for increased efficiency and improved cost effectiveness for clients of both operations.
Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company and has branches in all mainland states providing complete after sales service and support on weigh bridges of all types, brands and capacities.
