Weighbridge Maintenance Case Study

2019-06-13T16:15:00+09:30 12th July 2018|

AccuWeigh was recently asked to perform a service visit to a weighbridge, west of Brisbane. When our technician arrived, they found a weighbridge in need of regular maintenance. A build up of material beneath the weighbridge had been allowed to accumulate to the point that the weighbridge performance was being affected. The build up of debris also violates the trade measurement legislation which requires a 150mm clearance between the underside of the weighbridge deck and the foundation floor. An… Read More

Weigh Hopper Calibrations and Safety Go Hand in Hand

2019-06-13T16:15:00+09:30 5th July 2018|

Weigh hoppers are often large containers mounted on load cells. Occasionally, their design may accommodate for easy calibration with the placement of test weights at or near ground level. Often, however, test weights used to calibrate the scale must be placed at height, which represents a significant risk to any service technician. The safety of our service technicians is very important to us, and because of Duty of Care and Chain of Responsibility obligations it should also be very important to… Read More

Loader Scale Calibration

2019-10-18T10:40:38+10:30 28th June 2018|

AccuWeigh recently calibrated a loader scale on a front-end loader. The loader and weighing system will be used at a demolition site to weigh rubble and to load dump trucks with optimal loads in preparation for transportation to the materials recycling centre. AccuWeigh is able to perform loader scale calibrations in situ, and in this instance we calibrated the loader scales inside the building being demolished. We use test weights traceable to national mass reference standards to ensure accurat… Read More

Equipment Upgrade for Brisbane West Quarry

2019-06-13T16:15:00+09:30 21st June 2018|

A twin-deck weighbridge, located at a quarry in Brisbane’s west, recently had equipment upgraded to more modern and efficient models. Namely, a single AccuWeigh IT8000E indicator was supplied with multi-deck software to replace two older A&D AD4323 indicators, which were each only able to display the weight of a single deck. The IT8000E, which has the ability to display the weight from multiple decks and also display the total weighbridge weight, also replaced a summing unit which summed t… Read More

2019-06-13T16:15:01+09:30 11th March 2018|

A weighbridge at a Brisbane refuse station used for weighing vehicles with recyclable materials was recently calibrated, adjusted and reverified by AccuWeigh. The weighbridge was calibrated using AccuWeigh’s weighbridge ‘calibration test rig’ unit which is a prime mover with a trailer designed to safely transport mostly 2 tonne test weights and a forklift. Although Australian legislation does not state an expiry date for weighbridge verification periods, it is best practice for weighbridge… Read More

Calibration Visit to NSW Macadamia Farm

2019-06-13T16:15:01+09:30 2nd March 2018|

One of the many important services that AccuWeigh offers is calibration of weighing systems, both big and small. Calibration is the process of determining the relationship (that is, the error) between the weight reading and the weight on the weigh receptor. Organisations can only operate with confidence when they are certain that they can rely on the accuracy of the readings supplied by their weighing systems at all times, and regular calibration services provided by AccuWeigh provides them this… Read More

Community-Minded Sydney Recycler Utilises a Wheel Wash for Its Vehicles

2019-06-13T16:15:01+09:30 21st February 2018|

AccuWeigh recently commissioned an automated Bridge 400W wheel wash system for a Sydney-based construction material recycling centre. The recycling centre ordered the wheel wash system primarily to prevent track-out, that is, the unintentional movement of mud and debris from their premises on to surrounding public roads. The elimination of track-out was an important consideration for this community-minded recycler, but the wheel wash also helps the recycling centre meet its EPA obligations as we… Read More
