Weigh Bridges

MELSS in the past 17 years have been selling and supporting Weighing solutions to Sugar, Ferro Alloy, Cattle Feeds, Steel, Chemical, Plastics, Tea and many other industries. MELSS experience is not limited to Lorry / Cart Weighing but also extends to some demanding process weighing applications like Batching, Material handling and Check Weighing.

Our experiences in demanding applications like 24 Cane Lorry / Cart weighing in sugar industry and 24 hour continuous Batch Weighing in Cattle feed industry have pushed us hard to create some very innovative and ingenious hardware and software features.

MELSS probably is one of the very successful and one of the very few Indian companies who have made reliable weighing solutions on their own without depending foreign partners. This has contributed tremendously to the insights and in-depth knowledge we have developed in the areas of mechanical design, weighing instrumentation, software and maintenance.

Nevertheless some of the components and techniques used on the MELSS Weighing Electronics are the latest and most sophisticated, putting MELSS at the leading edge of technology.

Weighbridge Capacities Available

Model Approval

The MELSS DIGITISER AND WEIGHT INDICATOR / TERMINAL are MODEL approved by the Department of Legal Metrology.

Fully Electronic Weigh Bridge

A fully electronic weighbridge is a weigh bridge where the mechanical structure (pre-fabricated) is mounted on 4/6/8 Load cells.

The Load cell is nothing but a transducer, which converts Mechanical stress and force into Measurable electrical signals. The load cell consists of Strain gauges.

The number of Strain Gauges built inside the load cell varies for different type of load cell. For e.g. The S type load cell consists of 2 Stain gauges, the Compression type load cell consists of 4 Strain Gauges and the Shear-beam load cell consists of 8 Strain Gauges.

The Outer body of a load cell is built with Special Tool alloy steel and sealed according to IP68 classification for dustproof operation. The Average normal life of a load cell is measured in terms of million cycles of operation, which translates into a life of more than 10years.

The most recent development in load cell is the Double ended Shear beam Type of Load cell with 8 Strain gauges built inside for better accuracy, reliability and overall efficiency. The load cell supplied by M/s Sensortronics also comes with an In-built Lightening protection feature, which will protect the load cell from any surges or lightening.

The Fully Electronic weighbridge offers a very high Degree of Accuracy and reliability because of the nature of technology used. The Maintenance for Electronic weighbridge is virtually nil, because there is no moving part in the system. The structure is either fully welded or bolted and welded.

Since there is no maintenance involved, the weighbridge offers a very consistent and accurate performance over a period of time without any escalation of cost.

The Fully Electronic Weighbridge also comes with PIT TYPE of construction and PITLESS TYPE of civil construction. The PITLESS type is very advantageous because it offers very less civil cost and also the PITLESS does not require any drainage facilities

Technical Advantages of Melss Fully Electronic Weighbridge.

Sl.No	MELSS make Fully Electronic Weighbridge	Competitor Fully Electronic weighbridge
1	Over 15 years experience in supplying weighbridges and software to sugar industry. Our prestigious clients include	Better known for supplying Mechanical type road weighbridges and single weighbridges.
2	MELSS was the pioneer to introduce Fully Electronic weighbridges with networking concept and software to Sugar and Other major industries.	Started supplying fully electronic weighbridges 5 years back.
3	Box Type Structure with Cross-section beams every 1 meter through out the length of the weighbridge.	Only 5 no. longitudinal beams bolted together.
4	Fully Welded and fabricated single structure. This gives very less maintenance and trouble free operation.	Total structure is bolted together with bolts and nuts. High operational problems due to breaking, rusting and loosening of bolts and nuts.
5	Double-Ended Shear Beam Loadcell used consists of 16 Strain Gauges.	Uses Compression type of load cells. Consists of 8 Strain gauges.
6	(Please find advantages enclosed)	Very poor side load detection.
7	Lightning protection not available in any other models.	Poor repeatability and linearity.
8	Uses Repairable Double-Ended Shearbeam Loadcells	Non -REPAIRABLE in case of damage.
9	MELSS make weight indicator WB2000 offers 65535 counts for better resolution and greater accuracy.(6 times more than the recommended Accuracy Class III of weights and measures, Govt. of India.)	Standard model has up to class III accuracy with max. of 30000counts
10	Loadcell replacement (all four) takes a maximum time of 20 minutes.	Because of the type of structure, loadcell replacement is not easy.
11	Faster and better service response. Low AMC maintenance rates @20,000/-Per weighbridge.	AMC maintenance cost is @40,000/-Per Weighbridge in the industry.
