In the concrete production and aggregate handling industry, the profit/loss margin is often measured in grams. Inaccurate mixing, uncontrolled variations in aggregate proportions, or an error in weight recording can result in product non-compliance, material waste, and, in the worst-case scenario, liability for the quality of the work completed.

Digitizing quality control in plants is no longer a competitive advantage, but an operational necessity. Traditional manual weighing and batching systems are showing their limitations when it comes to ensuring repeatability, traceability, and compliance with increasingly stringent construction industry regulations.

From manual weighing to intelligent automation

Automated batching systems are now the standard for those who want to compete in the market. Mixing precision determines not only the quality of the concrete produced, but also the economic efficiency of the entire production process. Every percentage point of waste avoided translates into direct cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.

However, batching automation only reaches its full potential when integrated with high-precision weighing systems that ensure complete traceability of every load entering and leaving the plant.

The integrated solution: automated batching and MCWB-16 weighbridge

Our MCWB-16 Iron/Cement weighbridge is the ideal complement to automated batching systems, offering a robust and reliable solution specifically designed for the needs of the concrete and aggregate handling industries.

Distinctive Technical Features

With a capacity of up to 60 tons, the MCWB-16 is designed to withstand the intense stresses typical of production facilities. The modular reinforced concrete structure, produced entirely in our facilities, ensures long-term stability even in the presence of natural foundation settlements, a critical aspect in industrial environments where vibrations and continuous loads are commonplace.

The weighing system is based on 6 or 8 high-precision load cells connected to integrated technological systems, allowing for the automatic recording of every loading and unloading operation. This ensures complete traceability of every movement, from the receipt of aggregates to the shipment of the finished concrete.

Durability and Simplified Maintenance

The hot-dip galvanizing coating, approximately 40 microns thick, protects the structure from corrosion, a crucial factor in environments where cement, water, and chemicals are constantly present. Inspection hatches near the load cells facilitate maintenance operations and prevent damage, reducing unplanned downtime.

Underground installation, facilitated by lifting hooks integrated into the structure, allows for optimal operational flow without taking up surface space and simplifies any future repositioning of the system.

Integration that makes the difference

When an automated batching system communicates with a precise and certified weighing system, a digital ecosystem is created that radically transforms quality control. Each production batch can be tracked from the arrival of the raw materials to the delivery of the finished product, with automatic recording of all relevant parameters.

This integration allows you to:
– Verify production compliance in real time
– Immediately identify any anomalies in the process
– Optimize the use of raw materials while reducing waste
– Maintain a complete production history for analysis and continuous improvement

Investing in the future of quality

Digitizing quality control in concrete plants is no longer a choice to be postponed. Regulations are becoming increasingly demanding, customers require documented guarantees regarding the quality of the products supplied, and market competition rewards those who can optimize production processes.

The combination of automated batching systems and high-precision weighing solutions like our MCWB-16 weighbridge represents the strategic investment for those seeking a lasting competitive advantage based on certified quality, operational efficiency, and complete traceability.
