- 2.3 Large - capacity weighing platform
The raw materials and finished products in a flour mill are usually heavy, so a large - capacity weighbridge is required to accommodate and weigh these heavy - duty goods. The common capacity range of weighbridges in flour mills varies from 30 tons to 100 tons, and the specific selection is based on the needs of the factory.
- 2.4 Fast weighing and automation
The production efficiency requirements of a flour mill are high. The weighbridge needs to be able to weigh quickly and automatically record and transmit the results. Many modern weighbridges are equipped with automated systems that can be integrated with the factory's warehouse management system (WMS) or enterprise resource planning system (ERP) to achieve automated data management and improve work efficiency.
3.Installation of Weighbridges in Flour Mills
The installation of weighbridges in flour mills requires consideration of multiple factors, including ground preparation, equipment location selection, operational safety, etc.
- 4.3 Trouble shooting
During use, if problems such as inaccurate weighing or display system failures occur, the operator should first check whether the power supply, sensors, connection lines, etc. are normal. If the equipment cannot be repaired by oneself, professional technicians should be contacted for maintenance in a timely manner.
- 1.1 Raw material weighing
Wheat/maize is the main raw material produced by flour mills. The weighbridge can be used to weigh the wheat/maize entering the factory at the warehouse or unloading area for quality control and procurement management. In addition, the weighbridge also helps to record the actual weight of the raw materials to avoid overweight or underweight and ensure accurate distribution of materials.
- 3.1 Select the appropriate installation location
When installing a weighbridge, first, a flat and sturdy ground needs to be selected to ensure that the weighing platform is level and to avoid inaccurate weighing caused by tilting. The installation location should be close to the raw material unloading area or the finished product shipping area to facilitate the flow and weighing of materials.

- 4.2 Regular maintenance
To maintain the accuracy and long - term use of the weighbridge, regular maintenance is very important. The main maintenance tasks include:
(1) Cleaning: Keep the weighbridge platform clean to avoid dust and debris affecting the weighing accuracy.
(2) Calibration: Calibrate the weighbridge at regular intervals to ensure that the equipment always maintains accurate weighing capabilities.
(3) Inspection of sensors and display systems: Check the operating status of sensors and display systems to ensure that they are not damaged or malfunctioning.
(4) Inspection of battery and power supply systems: Regularly check the battery and power supply to ensure sufficient power supply and avoid equipment shutdown due to insufficient power.
- 2.1 High Precision
The production process of the flour mill has high requirements for weight accuracy. The weighbridge must have a high-precision weighing system that can provide accurate weight data during the handling of bulk materials to ensure product quality and accurate execution of production plans.
- 2.2 Durability
Flour mill weighbridges are subject to frequent use over a long period of time, especially when used with heavy transport vehicles (such as trucks, forklifts, etc.), so durability is very important. The weighbridges must be able to withstand the weight of the material, wear and tear, and common environmental conditions (such as dust, moisture, etc.).
- 3.3 Electrical and communication connections
When installing a weighbridge, equipment such as power supplies, signal transmission lines, and control panels also need to be equipped to ensure the normal operation of the electronic system. Modern weighbridges are usually equipped with a data transmission system, which can be connected to other systems in the factory to achieve real - time data sharing and management.
- 3.2 Foundation and base
The installation of a weighbridge requires a solid foundation. For heavy - duty weighbridges (such as vehicle weighbridges), the foundation usually needs to be strengthened to ensure the long - term stable operation of the equipment. The preparation of the foundation should be carried out in advance to ensure that there is no looseness, settlement, or unevenness on the ground.
2.Features of weighbridge
By-products such as bran are produced during the flour production process, and these by-products also need to be accurately weighed for subsequent processing or sales. Floor weighbridges can help flour mills accurately manage these by-products and optimize inventory and sales plans.

- 1.3 By-product management
By-products such as bran are produced during the flour production process, and these by-products also need to be accurately weighed for subsequent processing or sales. Floor weighbridges can help flour mills accurately manage these by-products and optimize inventory and sales plans.
In a flour mill, the weighbridge is not just a simple weighing tool, but also a key device for material management and production control. The correct selection, installation, and maintenance of the weighbridge can not only ensure product quality but also help the factory optimize the production process and improve work efficiency. Therefore, when a flour mill purchases and uses a weighbridge, it should select suitable equipment according to actual needs, and conduct regular inspections and maintenance to ensure that the weighbridge always maintains an efficient and accurate working state.
4. Daily Use and Maintenance of Weighbridges in Flour Mills
- 4.1 Operation Operators
In flour mills need to be trained to ensure they know how to use the weighbridge correctly. The operation of the weighbridge usually includes the following steps:
(1)Start - up of the equipment.
Power on the weighbridge and perform preliminary calibration to ensure the normal operation of the system.
(2) Weighing operation: Operate through the electronic display screen, place the materials accurately, weigh and record the data.
(3)Recording and reporting: Ensure that a report is automatically generated after each weighing or the data is directly transmitted to the relevant system.
100T weighbridge in Zambia
Weighbridge
In flour mills, weighbridges are an indispensable and important equipment, mainly used to accurately weigh the weight of raw materials, wheat,maize, flour and other by-products. The accuracy of weighbridges directly affects the quality, cost control and logistics management of the production process, so choosing the right weighbridge is crucial for flour mills.
1.The role of the weighbridge in the flour mill
The main role of the weighbridge in the flour mill is to weigh the wheat/maize raw materials, finished flour and by-products (maize bran or wheat bran etc.). Through accurate weighing, it ensures that the material management of each link is accurate, helping the factory to improve production efficiency, reduce waste and improve customer satisfaction.
- 1.2 Finished Product Weighing
The products of the flour mill, including flour or other by-products of different specifications, need to be accurately weighed to ensure that each batch of products meets the specification requirements, prevent overproduction or shortage, and ensure that the delivery quantity to customers is accurate.
