Tecweigh’s conveyor belt scales and weigh belt feeders are helping Australian and overseas businesses in bulk material handling sectors.
Conveyor belt scales are a valuable data source for any business operating in the bulk materials sectors that turns a company’s conveyor belt into a vital management tool.
Tecweigh conveyor belt scales are designed for weighing in all industries. As Barry Gamble, Tecweigh’s business development manager, says, “if you can convey it, you can weigh it.”
In industries that need tailored solutions and quick turnarounds, Tecweigh’s Australian advantage has shone through for the customers in the quarry, mining and food sectors.
The Australian manufacturer has been producing a range of conveyor belt scales, weigh belt feeders, and volumetric feeders from its Melbourne headquarters in Carrum Downs for two decades.
Being an Australian-made brand ensures Tecweigh’s custom-engineered products can perform dynamic measuring in the toughest of conditions.
Gamble said that being a local manufacturer helps Tecweigh keep costs down and ensures continued supply.
“We do all our manufacturing in Carrum Downs, Melbourne, which gives us a fast response time,” he said.
“We can normally deliver what the client needs within seven to 10 days.”
Dynamic measuring is a key component in the many bulk handling sectors across Australia, which helps relay accurate throughput information.
Without accurate information about the amount of material being conveyed, monitoring, storage management, and feed metering become incredibly difficult.
To ensure its products are reliable in Australia’s often-harsh conditions and provide accurate information, Tecweigh uses stainless steel, hermetically sealed IP68 load cells designed to provide accuracies of ± 0.5 or ± 0.25 per cent for its weigh belt feeders and conveyer belt scales.
The weigh idler system has been designed to be easy to calibrate to provide consistent accuracy with inbuilt calibration weights.
Its weigh belt feeders can also be manufactured to specific lengths and widths, using powder-coated mild steel or stainless steel, depending on the application.
The company offers a wide range of weigh belt feeders, ranging from 100 kilograms to 1000 tonnes per hour, with custom designs available for even greater capacities.
“Custom designs are our standard practice. Whether it is chemicals, crushed stone, sand, coal, or materials that are low density, sticky, or abrasive, we specialise in building the equipment needed to accurately weigh it,” Gamble said.
“Our products are also designed for heavy-duty work and have been proven accurate in some of the world’s harshest environments over a long period of time.”
With more than 100 years of industry experience collectively among its employees, the company is continuing to look for new innovations to ensure its customers receive modern products for their applications.
Tecweigh’s Australian headquarters means it can also offer local after-sales support. The company maintains a significant stock inventory for its conveyor belt scales, volumetric feeders, and weigh belt feeders. The Australian-based company also offers field service support and spare parts supply.
From its beginnings in Melbourne’s Carrum Downs, Tecweigh has built its bespoke business to provide weighing-in-motion solutions for industries nationally and internationally.
The company has built a long-lasting relationship with its local suppliers which can help its customers access the best solution for their application.
“We’re looking forward to seeing how Tecweigh can help improve customer’s operations by accurately weighing their materials each time,” Gamble said.
