The weighbridge was previously fitted with Phillips weighbridge load cells for which replacement loadcells are cost prohibitive so they were replaced by the more modern and cost effective Flintec weighbridge load cells sourced from Ultrahawke in Melbourne.
Before the replacement weighbridge load cells could be fitted, the entire weighbridge deck was removed from the pit to allow an excavator to remove a build-up of hardened flyash that had accumulated over the years. After fitting the Flintec loadcells, the weighbridge was then certified for trade use.
Morgan Ash’s Vale Point plant is located next to a power station that produces flyash as a by-product of generating power. The flyash is pumped directly into overhead silos located above Morgan Ash’s weighbridge and trucks are then filled from overhead while stationed on the trade weigh bridge. The flyash is then delivered to cement companies and batch plants in the area.
