‘Weighbridge’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Silo-Weigh solves weighing problem at Castle Hill from AV Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "AV Technology (AVT) has installed a high-capacity Silo-Weigh system on two large limestone silos, at Castle Hill Quarry in Cannington, Somerset. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Portable weighpads create instant weighbridge from Vishay PM Onboard: "The Road Guardian weighpad allows commercial vehicle operators to assess the loading of vehicles accurately while on site, or remotely in the field.".

In June 2008, we covered the news from Vishay PM Onboard - take a look at Weighing system eases vehicle management which says: "The FreightWeigh system uses transducers fitted to the vehicle's suspension to measure loading at key points and transmit the data wirelessly to a handheld device. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Robson Handling Technology, Conveyor systems keep sugar flowing, as well as Weighing system ensures automotive safety from Vishay PM Onboard, and Silos expand lime storage from Portasilo.
