This type of weighbridge / Truck scale is most suitable
where the excavation work for foundation is difficult or construction of pit is
expensive. Since the structure is above ground level, vehicles can approach the
weighbridge only from two directions where the ramps are provided. This type of
weighbridge requires more space.
In Pitless Type
Weighbridge RCC ramp work must be required at least 3 meters for both sides
for easy movement of vehicle.
Benefits :
1.
Costly Pit construction is eliminated.
2.
Platform above ground level- No water logging
during rainy season
3.
Problem of pit maintenance is eliminated.
4.
Easy maintenance since all parts accessible
above ground level.
Robust Load Cells and
Digitizers :
The most important components of an electronic weighbridge are the load cells and digitizers. EAGLE has
made both of them very robust and hence, the best available in the country.
Highly Durable
Girders and Plates :
A truck to be weighed is directly driven to the platform of
a weighbridge and hence, the platform is subjected to the entire load and
vibrations created by a moving truck. Our weighbridge platforms (made of steel)
are designed very carefully to withstand these loads without damage and is
highly durable. The girders and plates used in our platform are selected very
carefully and undergo stringent quality checks as per ISI & IS 2062 Grade.
The next
most important component is the mounting assembly for load cells. This
transfers the load from the platform to the load cells. This is a cradle
assembly which is free to move in the horizontal axes and hence takes all
side loads generated due to the vehicular movements on the platform. The
mounting assembly consists of three parts namely, the Bottom Plate, Rocker
assembly and Top Bracket.
TYPE OF SCALE
|
PITLESS TYPE
|
COST
|
Less expensive due to less
construction work
|
SERVICE & SCALE REPAIRS
|
Less difficult or costly and
serviced from above
|
CLEAN OUT
|
Quick and easy, done with a water
hose or compressor from the side
|
SCALE ISPECTION
|
Can be performed by simply walking
around the perimeter or the scale
|
RESTRICTIONS OR HAZAEDS
|
Some states require specified
clearances underneath scale
|
APPROACHES
|
10’ Flat and level
|
RAMPS
|
Typically 25’ long on each end of
the ramp. Requires more real estate to install and operate
|
ELECTRICITY NEEDED
|
None
|
Low
Resistance Cables and Weather Proof Junction Box :
The signal from the load cells (in
milli-volt) is carried to the digitizer, in the control room, through a 4 -
core shielded cable. The cable has a very low electrical resistance
and hence, no loss of signals. The cables from different load cells, in a
weighbridge, meets in weather proof junction box. The junction Box is of
fully molded type and houses the necessary terminal blocks for interconnection
of load cell out puts. The Junction box also carries a set of surge
arrestors, to protect the entire system from lightning and electrical
surges.
Easy to use Weighbridge Software :
EAGLE Weigh soft - user friendly, windows based software for weighbridges.
It is highly secure and customizable - password protected different user
levels, allows you to create your own fields, depending on your specific
requirement.
