ESSMANN | Waagen & Automation has realized the installation of a truck scale<\/a> under a canopy for a customer in the food industry.\nEven this challenging installation situation is no problem for ESSMANN | Waagen & Automation! <\/p>\n\n

Customer<\/h3>\n\n

The client is an international food manufacturer with over 80,000 employees.\nIts core business areas include the production of snacks, in particular cookies, chocolate and other sweets. <\/p>\n\n

A truck scale was required in the entrance area of an existing customer site.\nThis already had a weighing house with a canopy.\nThe new HE-SFK underfloor vehicle scale<\/a> was to be installed under this canopy. <\/p>\n\n

Mounting the weighbridge under the canopy<\/h3>\n\n

In addition to the challenging installation situation due to the canopy, access to the scales pit is also difficult.\nBoth long sides are not suitable for crane installation, one side has the weighing house and the other side cannot be used due to the property boundary.\nIn addition, one front side is not suitable for crane installation due to the access road.\nTherefore, both cranes had to be placed on the same front side. <\/p>\n\n

Foundation work<\/h4>\n\n

First, the pit for the truck scales was excavated on site according to drawings from ESSMANN | Waagen & Automation and the floor was prepared accordingly.\nAccess to the weighing house was created for the empty conduits.\nTo make it easier to crane the truck scales under the canopy later on, the pit was made wider for this purpose. <\/p>\n\n

Delivery and assembly of the first precast concrete foundation and the weighing platform<\/h4>\n\n

The first precast concrete foundation and the precast concrete platform must be positioned exactly according to the drawing and placed on the prepared ground.\nThe service technician from ESSMANN | Waagen & Automation and the crane personnel form an excellent team that carries out the assembly in a short time. <\/p>\n\n

As the first half of the truck scales is not under the canopy, it could be inserted from the front using a crane.<\/p>\n\n

Craning the second precast concrete foundation into the preliminary position in the pit<\/h4>\n\n

The second half of the weighbridge, consisting of a precast concrete foundation and a precast concrete platform, was then craned into place.\nTo do this, the precast foundation was first set down slightly offset in the wider excavated pit using a crane. <\/a><\/p>\n\n

Craning in the precast concrete foundation and the precast concrete bridge under the canopy<\/h4>\n\n

The precast concrete foundation was craned from its preliminary position in the pit to its final position under the canopy using a lifting beam and two cranes.\nThe second precast concrete bridge was also lifted into the foundation using the lifting beam.\nThe length of the lifting beam was chosen so that it would exceed the width of the canopy and withstand the enormous loads of the concrete parts. <\/a><\/p>\n\n
