Avery Weigh-Tronix scales are popular in the mining and quarrying industry around the world. Our weighing equipment, including weighbridges, traffic management systems, and bag filling systems, which are durable and accurate, even in tough conditions.
Weighing equipment for metals and mining
Weighing is a critical aspect of the mining and aggregates industry in India, ensuring accuracy, efficiency, and profitability throughout operations. With India’s abundant reserves of coal, iron ore, bauxite, limestone, and various precious minerals like gold and diamonds, accurate measurement of raw material is essential to maintain consistent production, monitor material flow, and optimise resources. Inaccurate weighing can lead to production issues, increased costs, and even non-compliance with regulations.
Belt weighers are commonly used to measure material on conveyor belts, ensuring continuous and efficient transportation of aggregates from the mine or quarry. Weighbridges monitor the load carried by mining trucks, preventing overloading and ensuring compliance with safety regulations, they also provide highly accurate weight readings for trading raw materials. Load cells are often used in hoppers and silos to track the quantity of stored materials to enable stock management and material control.
Precise weighing in the mining and aggregate industry provides improved operational efficiency, better inventory control, reduced material wastage, and enhanced safety. For miners and aggregate producers, these systems lead to optimised production processes, reduced costs, accurate billing, and compliance with environmental and legal standards, thereby increasing profitability and sustainability in the mining and aggregates sector.
Many mines deal with a high volume of vehicles entering and leaving the site. To maintain site efficiency, vehicles must be weighed and processed quickly. Automated weighing systems speed up material transport and loading processes, reducing bottlenecks and boosting productivity at mining sites.
For products transported by rail, our train weighing systems provide accurate collection of wagon and full train weights. Weight data is collected in real-time, either statically or while in motion, depending on the application.
Avery Weigh-Tronix’s integrated software provides real-time weight data that integrates with ERP systems, enabling better decision-making around production, logistics, and material flow management.
Weighing is also necessary for compliance with regulations in the quarrying and mining industries. Many countries have strict regulations on the extraction and transportation of materials, and accurate weighing is a crucial part of meeting these regulations. Failure to comply with regulations can result in fines, shutdowns, and damage to a company’s reputation.
Weighing is also necessary for compliance with regulations in mining industries. Many countries have strict regulations on the extraction and transportation of materials, and accurate weighing is a crucial part of meeting these regulations. Failure to comply with regulations can result in fines, shutdowns, and damage to a company’s reputation. In many cases, mining and metals companies are paid based on the weight of the materials they extract and sell. Weighing equipment is essential for accurately determining the weight of the materials sold, and for ensuring accurate revenue calculation.
