Is your existing weighbridge becoming unreliable or showing its age? Replacement isn't always the only answer. Recently, Libra Weighing had the opportunity to demonstrate the power of weighbridge conversion with a project for a farm based in Shropshire, UK.
The farm's weighbridge, while structurally sound, needed a significant overhaul to meet modern accuracy and reliability standards. Instead of a costly full replacement, the client opted for a comprehensive conversion carried out by our expert team.
The Conversion Process:
Collection: We decommissioned and transported the weighbridge from the Shropshire farm to our dedicated workshop.
Full Overhaul: Our technicians got to work, stripping out the old, outdated load cells and aged wiring.
Modern Upgrade: We installed brand new, high-accuracy digital load cells and completely replaced the wiring system. This is the core of the weighbridge conversion, instantly improving measurement precision and data transmission reliability.
Refurbishment: To ensure longevity and a professional finish, the weighbridge deck and structure were fully repainted, protecting it from the elements.
Delivery & Recommissioning: The fully converted and refurbished weighbridge was delivered back to the farm in Shropshire. Our team then recommissioned the weighbridge, ensuring it was perfectly calibrated and ready for operation.
Benefits of Weighbridge Conversion:
This Shropshire project highlights the key advantages of choosing conversion over replacement:
Cost-Effective: Significantly less expensive than purchasing a brand new weighbridge.
Improved Accuracy: Modern digital load cells provide far superior accuracy and consistency.
Enhanced Reliability: New wiring and components drastically reduce the risk of breakdowns.
Extended Lifespan: Refurbishment protects the structure, giving the weighbridge many more years of service.
Faster Turnaround: Often quicker than ordering and installing a completely new weighbridge.
