Chandrapur weighbridges for coal, cement, paper and the farm gate.
Chandrapur, on the Wardha and the Irai in eastern Vidarbha, is the coal, cement and power district of Maharashtra. The coalfield around Chandrapur, Ballarpur, Ghugus, Bhadravati and Warora sends coal out by the tipper, the truck and the rail siding; the thermal power station at Chandrapur burns it and sends fly ash out by the bulker; the cement plants of the Rajura, Korpana and Gadchandur limestone belt and at Ghugus load clinker and cement on 40-foot trailers; the paper mill at Ballarpur takes bamboo, wood and waste paper in by the truck; ferro-alloy, sponge iron and steel units work in MIDC Chandrapur, MIDC Tadali and the Ghugus belt; cotton gins and APMCs at Warora, Bhadravati, Rajura and Korpana take the kapas and the soybean of the western tehsils; and rice mills at Brahmapuri, Nagbhid, Mul and Sindewahi take the paddy of the east. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा / tol kanta) across Chandrapur district.
A coal transporter or a cement plant gate in Chandrapur is best served by an 18 m weighbridge at 100 MT, in pit-less steel or concrete (RCC), stamped for trade, with the unmanned option (RFID, cameras, boom barrier) so three shifts of tippers and trailers clear without a clerk; a sponge iron, ferro-alloy or MIDC unit 80–100 MT on 18 m; the paper mill or a fly-ash brick plant 60–80 MT on 16–18 m; a cotton gin or an APMC commission agent at Warora, Bhadravati or Rajura 40–60 MT on 14–16 m for the tractor and its heaped kapas trolley in one reading; a rice mill at Brahmapuri, Nagbhid or Mul 60 MT on 16 m for a tractor with two paddy trolleys; a public weighbridge on the Nagpur or Nagbhid road 60–100 MT on 16–18 m (dharam kanta). Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad and dispatches it about 2 weeks after a commercially cleared order with PO.
Coal in three shifts, clinker by the trailer, kapas and paddy by the trolley: a stamped weight for every gate in Chandrapur.

Coal transporters, plant gates, gins and rice mills across Chandrapur district.
Coal transporters and plant gates
Coal moves from the collieries around Chandrapur, Ballarpur, Ghugus and Warora in three shifts of loaded tippers and multi-axle trucks, the power station sends fly ash out by the bulker, and the cement plants of the Rajura–Korpana belt send clinker out on 40-foot trailers, so a full body is a full axle load and the gate never closes.
Our setup: A 100 MT, 18 m weighbridge in pit-less steel or concrete (RCC), stamped, with IP67/IP68 sealed load cells, RFID, cameras and a boom barrier for the unmanned option, and SMFW slips tied to the vehicle, the party and the shift.
Sponge iron, ferro-alloy and paper units
Ore, coal, scrap, bamboo and waste paper come in by the truck and the trailer, and billets, alloys and paper reels go out on the same, through MIDC Chandrapur, MIDC Tadali, the Ghugus belt and the Ballarpur mill gate, so every inbound weight is a material cost and every outbound weight is an invoice.
Our setup: An 18 m weighbridge of 80–100 MT in pit-less steel or concrete (RCC), stamped, with stored tares for the regular fleet, SMFW reports by material and party and the unmanned option where the gate runs three shifts.
Cotton gins and rice mills
Kapas comes heaped on tractor-trolleys to the gins of Warora, Bhadravati and Rajura from October and leaves as 170 kg bales and seed, while paddy reaches the mills of Brahmapuri, Nagbhid and Mul as two trolleys behind one tractor and leaves as rice, bran and husk.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 14–16 m pit-less steel weighbridge at the gin and a 60 MT, 16 m platform at the rice mill, stamped, with SMFW keeping in and out as separate reports so the ginning and milling outturn is checked lot by lot.

Black soil in the west, coal measures in the east and a metre of monsoon: how a Chandrapur weighbridge is founded.
Coal sets the capacity in Chandrapur and the clock sets everything else. Coal leaves the mines around Chandrapur, Ballarpur, Ghugus, Bhadravati and Warora by loaded tipper and multi-axle truck for the power station, the cement kilns, the sponge iron units and the sidings, round the clock in three shifts, and a loaded coal body is a full axle load, so the transporter's weighbridge is 100 MT on 18 m, in pit-less steel or concrete (RCC), with IP67/IP68 sealed load cells against the coal dust, the unmanned option (RFID, cameras, boom barrier) so the queue clears without a clerk, and SMFW slips tied to the vehicle, the party and the shift. The cement plants of the Rajura, Korpana and Gadchandur limestone belt and at Ghugus take limestone, coal, gypsum and fly ash in and send clinker and bagged cement out on 40-foot trailers and bulkers, so a plant gate carries the same 100 MT, 18 m platform with the unmanned option, and the fly-ash bulkers from the power station to the cement plants and the brick units weigh at both ends on stored tares. The paper mill at Ballarpur takes bamboo, wood, bagasse and waste paper in by the truck and sends reels out on the same, and the ferro-alloy, sponge iron and steel units in MIDC Chandrapur, MIDC Tadali and the Ghugus belt take ore, coal and scrap in and billets and alloys out, so their gates take 80–100 MT on 18 m. The farm half of the district is two countries: in the west, kapas comes heaped on tractor-trolleys to the gins and the APMCs of Warora, Bhadravati, Rajura and Korpana from October, with soybean and tur behind it, so a gin's 40–60 MT, 14–16 m pit-less steel weighbridge reads the tractor and its trolley together and SMFW keeps kapas-in, bales-out and seed-out as three reports; in the east, paddy comes off the tank-fed fields of Brahmapuri, Nagbhid, Mul and Sindewahi from October as two trolleys behind one tractor, so a rice mill takes a 60 MT, 16 m platform that holds all three and keeps paddy-in and rice, bran and husk-out as separate reports. The ground follows the same divide: black cotton soil over basalt in the west, where the clay swells in the rains and shrinks in the heat and the pedestals go below the moving layer; Gondwana sandstone, coal measures and red gravelly soil in the colliery belt and the east, where the pedestals sit shallow and firm; and the Wardha and Wainganga flats, where the plinth stands above the flood line. The monsoon brings more than a metre of rain between June and September, so the approaches are drained, a pit-type weighbridge is fitted with a sump and a pump-out, and in a coal or a paddy yard the pit-less platform on raised pedestals is what most buyers choose; May passes 46 °C, so the cabin is roofed against the sun, the cables leave the platform in closed conduit and the test weights go on in the first hour of the day. Book Legal Metrology stamping or the annual re-verification in September, so the certificate is already framed in the cabin when the kapas and the paddy start to arrive.

Coal slip, clinker slip, kapas slip: the Chandrapur project from PO to certificate.
Six steps for your project in Chandrapur. Most of the waiting is the foundation curing, so the drawing comes first.
- 1 · Your traffic in ChandrapurTell us the heaviest vehicle you weigh (here, typically loaded tippers, multi-axle coal trucks), the space at the gate and the daily count. An engineer replies within one working day.
- 2 · Size and quotationOur usual starting point (coal transporter or colliery siding, Chandrapur, Ballarpur or Ghugus): 100 MT, 18 m weighbridge, Pit-less steel or RCC, stamped, unmanned option. The quotation comes with the foundation drawing.
- 3 · Foundation on siteYour civil contractor builds it to our drawing; a pit-type weighbridge needs a drained pit with a sump. We can check the levels before the weighbridge arrives.
- 4 · Fabrication and dispatchBuilt and tested in our Ahmedabad workshop; dispatch in about 2 weeks from a commercially cleared order with PO, then delivered and placed on your foundation.
- 5 · Installation and calibrationWeighbridge placed, load cells and indicator connected and calibrated, SMFW stored tares set up (RFID, cameras and boom barrier where ordered), and Legal Metrology verification supported.
- 6 · AMC and serviceAMC, breakdown visits, calibration and annual re-verification support from our technical desk, so the weighbridge stays accurate for years.
