Farming and Agricultural Weighing

Weighing plays an important role in the Agricultural and Farming products industry. Whether tracking arable yields, managing feed ingredients and livestock performance, or trading in raw agricultural produce such as wheat, rice, lentils/pulses, sugar-cane, tea or spices, weighing is critical to your bottom line.

Platform scales, truck scale weighbridges and other scales from suppliers like Avery Weigh-Tronix are tough enough to deliver accuracy in the agro-products industry and collect this vital information accurately at every step of the way without slowing down your operation. Products designed specifically for agriculture and on-farm applications can be found on our website. Click here to see our cattle scales. Contact us for a quote today.

Load Cell Scale Kits for Fertilizer Plants

Chemical and fertilizer applications require systems that withstand the challenges of corrosive environments.

Rice Lake Weighing Systems weigh modules for chemical and fertilizer plants combine multi-layer coated (MLC) steel load cells, stainless steel mounts and junction boxes designed for demanding conditions. The load cells undergo a two-step finishing process that protects them from the damaging effects of corrosive environments, while also easily distinguishing them from the 304 stainless steel mounts.

Weigh modules are an ideal solution to turn product containers into weighing systems with minimal adjustments to existing structures. Rice Lake's experienced engineering team created a comprehensive line of weigh modules and load cell mounts for every application. The fertilizer plant weigh module kits use tank mounts and either single or double-ended beam load cells with different capacities available to meet a range of application requirements.
