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 stainless steel weighbridge load cells. Although the original Phillips load cells were still available, Accuweigh’s weighbridge 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.
Accuweigh also supplied custom manufactured adaptor plates to ensure the new weighbridge load cells could be fitted using the existing load cell mounting plates to ensure a quick turn-around time for the client. 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.
Accuweigh has eight branches across Australia specialising in weighbridge service, weighbridge repairs and weighbridge certifications.
