Keshod weighbridges for oil mills and mango traders.
Keshod is a groundnut and farming town of Junagadh district, with a marketing yard, oil mills and processing units that run on the groundnut grown in the surrounding villages, and Kesar mango orchards that send fruit to market each summer. The Airports Authority of India has announced a cargo facility for Kesar mango at the Keshod airport. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Keshod taluka, including Agatrai and Balagam, and in Maliya Hatina taluka.
A Keshod groundnut oil mill usually needs a 60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge (dharam kanta) that weighs pod trucks in and oil tankers and oilcake trucks out, with tanker tares weighed every trip; a yard trader 40–60 MT on 12–16 m; a mango aggregator or packer 30–40 MT on 9–12 m. Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad and dispatches it about 2 weeks after a cleared order with PO.
Oil out by tanker, mango in by pick-up: a true net weight for both.

Oil mills, mango aggregators, feed dealers across Keshod taluka.
Groundnut oil mills
Oil leaves in tankers whose empty weight changes from trip to trip.
Our setup: A 60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge, with every tanker weighed empty and full on one SMFW slip.
Kesar mango aggregators
Fruit is bought from orchards by weight and must move the same day, so slips cannot wait.
Our setup: A 30–40 MT, 9–12 m weighbridge sited at the gate, with SMFW listing each farmer's load for same-day payment.
Cattle-feed and oilcake dealers
Feed is sold to dairies and farmers in part loads, often several buyers on one truck.
Our setup: A 40 MT, 12 m weighbridge; weigh the truck after each drop so every buyer's share has its own slip.

Tanker tares, dust and the mango rush: a weighbridge for Keshod's two seasons.
Keshod's oil mills sell what they make in two forms: oil, which leaves in tankers or in tins and jars on trucks, and oilcake (khol), which leaves in bags for cattle-feed buyers. Each needs a slip. A tanker's empty weight is not fixed: oil left in the tank, fuel and extra fittings all change it, so weigh every tanker empty before loading and full after, and do not rely on a stored tare. SMFW keeps the two weighments together on one numbered slip with the vehicle number, party, product, date and time. Tin and jar loads are packed by count, so the gross weight on the weighbridge is a check that the truck carries the number of tins on the invoice. The mango season is the opposite: short, busy and in small vehicles. Aggregators and packers who buy Kesar from orchards by weight need a 30–40 MT, 9–12 m weighbridge for pick-ups and small trucks, a readable display for the farmer, and quick slips at the peak of May and June. Groundnut arrivals peak from October to January, so install and complete Legal Metrology verification before the season, and re-verify every year; Symphony gives stamping support. Keep the indicator in a closed cabin away from groundnut dust, and use sealed IP67/IP68 load cells and junction boxes. On black soil, follow the foundation drawing and keep monsoon water away from the pedestals.
