We at ‘Exelon’ offer an extract of 15 invincible years of Weighing Systems. I.e. Industrial Truck Scales, Weighing Scales, Industrial Weighing, and automation. We are having thorough expertise in this industry. We have an AN ISO: 9001 – 2015 certified manufacturing unit in Ahmedabad Gujarat, India.
Our company is specialized in concrete truck scales, as we do everything on the concrete truck scale including welding and mesh, and the customer only needs to pour the concrete and install the truck scale on site.There is no more labor needed. With ever-rising steel prices, it makes great economic sense to install concrete platform weigh bridges. Apart from low costs, it offers high strength and is virtually maintenance free – requiring no painting every year. Its life is 30 years as compared to that of 15 years of a typical steel platform. Due to the advantages of concrete platforms, the developed world has been using them for over 30 years.
SALIENT FEATURES :
ADVANTAGES OF CONCRETE PLATE FORM OVER STEEL PLATFORM :
COST : The cost of material required for construction of concrete platform is approximately 40% less than that of steel platform.
MATERIAL QUALITY : Quality of steel is always a suspect owing to the presence of a number of local companies which make cheaper and inferior quality steel, thereby decreasing the life & performance of steel components over time whereas the onsite construction of concrete weigh bridges helps monitor quality capacity.
DESIGN : Steel being flexible tends to bend & rattles when the truck comes onto the platform. Due to this there is a lateral pull of the load cells wherein ideally the load should be transferred vertically. The concrete platform is a rigid monolithic structure. As soon as the vehicle comes over the platform, the load gets distributed to all 6-load cells.
MAINTENANCE : Due to rattling of steel structure, nuts & bolts get loosened thereby requiring periodic tightening. Also steel gets rusted due to changes in the environment over a period. Being a totally RCC structure, there is no rusting of components in concrete platforms hence they are totally maintenance free.
STRENGTH : Steel structure being lighter by weight than the gross load of the vehicle coming on the platform, a cantilever effect takes place with inverse forces taking place at the ends thereby having a tendency to twist the steel structure & causing weighing errors. The concrete platform being a heavy mass has more stability. Hence, no inverse forces take place in the platform.
VEHICLE MOVEMENT : Vehicle movement & sudden braking tends to break the anti-skid strips welded onto the steel platform requiring re-welding of the strips by dismantling the load cells, thus rendering the weighbridge out of use for some time. In the case of concrete platform weigh-bridges, vehicle movement is arrested due to rough surface of the concrete platform.
WEIGHBRIDGE LIFE : The steel platform/girder structure gets weak due to rusting & loosening of nuts etc. The top plate & joints have a bending effect after few years. The concrete platform has a very long life and no bending effect takes place.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION: Steel structured weigh bridges are prone to electro-static charge
Exelon is a globally prominent and popular manufacturer and exporter of various types of weighbridge, Our truck scales come in either steel or concrete to suit your application. they can be either surface or pit mounted, depending on the location and use of the scales. Our truck scales can be paired with a range of indicators, software and accessories for a complete weighing and data management software.
