WHEEL WEIGH PADS IDENTIFY WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION ON NEW TRUCKS.

Wheel Weigh Pads

Accuweigh’s Melbourne branch recently commissioned wheel weigh pads at Iveco’s truck manufacturing facility in Dandenong,Victoria.

The wheel weigh pads are used to ensure ideal weight distribution is achieved during truck assembly at the plant.

A truck is driven onto the wheel weigh pads and the individual wheel loading are automatically displayed by the digital weight indicators. Various components of the truck can then be minutely re-positioned to optimise individual wheel loadings while the truck is on the weigh pads.

Accuweigh’s custom weighing solution comprises eight individual wheel weigh pads each connected to separate digital weight indicators to enable each wheels individual weight loading to be readily identified. A digital summing indicator captures and sums the weight readings from each weight indicator to display the total vehicle weight and to relay the weight readings to a PC for logging or quality control purposes.

The wheel weigh pads measure 600mm x 600mm each with a weighing capacity of 5,000 kg,but are available in larger weighing capacities also. To enable the wheel pad scales to be used for different truck configurations,each of Iveco’s scale bases are fitted with on/off ramps for easy truck access. Accuweigh can also supply fully inground wheel weighing systems for high accuracy weighing of vehicles sharing common wheelbase and axle positioning.

IVECO Trucks Australia manufactures and distributes light,medium and heavy commercial vehicles for the Australian road transport industry. Formerly International Harvester and International Trucks,it has been part of Australia’s way of life since 1903. IVECO Australia manufacturing base is in Dandenong,Victoria which has produced more than 200,000 trucks.

Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company and has eight branches spread over all mainland states providing sales and service support on wheel weigh pad scales,axle weighbridges and all types of industrial weighing equipment.

MULTI-DECK WEIGHBRIDGE LOGS INDIVIDUAL WEIGHTS.

A weighbridge comprising three individual decks was recently commissioned by Accuweigh’s Brisbane branches for AJ Bush &Sons in Beaudesert,QLD.

The specific deck lengths of 10m,8m &10m allow the multi-deck weighbridge to register individual truck and trailer weight readings of AJ Bush’s proprietary trucks as well as weighing B Doubles trucks without split weighing.

AJ Bush’s truck/trailer combos simultaneously deliver two main products groups (poultry and meat by-products) over the rendering plant weighbridge for processing. Each product is carried in separate compartments to avoid contamination,one product carried on the truck and the other in the trailer. The multi-deck weighbridge configuration allows individual weight readings of the separate products to be identified during a single weighing transaction.

The concrete deck weighbridge measuring 28m x 3m is mounted in a semi-pit foundation with the weighbridge deck at ground level for easier truck access. All weighbridge metalwork is hot dip galvanised for strong corrosion resistance in the external conditions.

The weighbridge’s weighing electronics include:
•    Three individual weight indicators (one for each weighbridge deck)
•    One summing indicator (to display total weighbridge weight)
•    Four external remote displays (for truck drivers to see vehicle weights)

Ticket Aid Pro Weighbridge Software and a printer were also supplied to generate management reports on all captured weighing details. Bollards were also fitted to the access and departure ramps of the weighbridge to eliminate potential tyre damage caused by trucks accidentally striking the weighbridge beams.

ONBOARD WEIGHING SYSTEMS ELIMINATE TRAILER OVERLOADING.

Onboard Weighing Systems

Onboard weighing systems supplied by Accuweigh’s Adelaide branch are being fitted to tipper trailers during their manufacture by Armac Welding in Maitland,South Australia.

The onboard weighing systems utilize a set of heavy duty load cells mounted on the trailer chassis and under the hydraulic lifting ram.

The onboard weighing system’s weight readings are provided by a digital weight indicator fitted into the truck’s dash to allow the driver to read the net weight of product in the trailer. A hand held remote display is also available to allow the truck driver to monitor the loading of product from outside the truck while also providing remote access to normal weight indicator functions like zero,tare and print.

The onboard weighing systems are used by local farmers to ensure their trailers are not exceeding legal weight limits while transporting grain and animal feeds on public roads. Accuweigh is the exclusive Australian agent for the UK based PM On-Board range of onboard weighing systems which can also be retro-fitted to existing trailers where required.

PM On-Board specialises in engineered onboard weighing systems for bulk tipping rigid,semi-trailer and drawbar vehicles. The PM BulkWeigh system is designed for high accuracy in rugged environments and is waterproofed to marine quality standards.

Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company with branches in all mainland states to ensure complete backup and after sales support is available across Australia.

Budpak Bagging Machines Upgraded on Bulk Carrier Ship

Existing Budpak bagging machines mounted aboard an ocean-going bulk carrier were recently upgraded with Budpak’s latest scale controllers. The complete on-board bagging systems were designed and manufactured by Budpak for the innovative BIBO (Bulk In Bag Out) project for delivering bulk and pre-bagged sugar to European ports.

The bagging systems are installed on the carrier vessel CHL Progressor,which was converted into a refined sugar carrier in 1990 in Trieste. The 47,000t capacity bulk refined sugar carrier was fitted with six Budpak Duplex net weight bagging machines to allow discharge of its cargo in 50kg bags at a rate of 360t/hr.

The scale controllers originally fitted were no longer able to be supported with spare parts so the client upgraded the weighing electronics of the bagging machines to Budpak’s latest Pack-Scan 500 weight controllers.

Budpak’s PAK-SCAN 500 is based on an Allen-Bradley touch-screen PLC with custom software to provide an operator-friendly graphical interface to all weighing functions of the bagging machines. Each PACK-SCAN 500 is capable of controlling up to eight weighing buckets and achieving both high-speed filling rates combined with very high bag filling accuracies.

Budpak’s bagging machines are a favourite with sugar companies throughout the Asia Pacific with over 60 retail weighers with six to eight weigh heads each being installed during the last 20 years.

An Accuweigh/Budpak service technician completed the bagging machine upgrade while the vessel was in dry dock in Istanbul,Turkey,with the final commissioning being completed in Holland when the bulk carrier was being loaded with white refined sugar.
