Modasa weighbridges for potato cold stores and the yard.
Modasa is the headquarters of Aravalli district and the market town of its farm belt. Aravalli is one of North Gujarat's main potato districts, and cold stores across the district hold the crop for traders, seed buyers and processing plants. The Modasa APMC trades maize, groundnut, wheat and other crops, and the Modasa GIDC estate houses small manufacturing units. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Modasa taluka and Aravalli district.
A Modasa potato cold store needs a 60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge (dharam kanta) to weigh every lot at intake and at release; a potato trader supplying processing plants 60–80 MT on 18 m; an APMC trader or ginner 40–60 MT on 16 m. Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad and dispatches it about 2 weeks after a cleared order with PO.

Cold stores, potato traders, ginners in Aravalli district.
Potato cold stores
Lots go in during the digging season and come out months later a little lighter, and the owner of the potatoes wants to see why.
Our setup: A 60 MT, 16 m weighbridge with every lot weighed in and out and the lot number on both SMFW slips.
Potato traders supplying processing plants
The plant weighs again at its own gate and pays on its figure, so the trader needs a slip to compare.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 18 m pit-less weighbridge for multi-axle trucks, with gross, tare, net and vehicle number printed at dispatch.
Groundnut, maize and cotton traders and ginners
Kharif arrivals come in a short season on tractors and trucks, and every farmer is paid on net weight.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge with SMFW reports by party and date.

Keep the mud off and the readings stay true.
In Aravalli the potato decides the busiest weeks. The crop is dug in late winter and early spring, and the cold stores fill in a rush of tractor-trolleys and trucks; months later the same potatoes leave for traders and processing plants. A potato in storage slowly loses water, so a lot can weigh less on release than on arrival. When every lot is weighed in and out on the same stamped weighbridge, with the lot number on both SMFW slips, the cold store and the owner of the potatoes see the real difference and settle it on paper instead of by argument. Processing plants weigh again at their own gate, so a printed slip with gross, tare, net and vehicle number at dispatch helps the trader answer any difference. Potatoes come out of the field with soil, and muddy tyres carry it onto the platform; raised pedestals or a pit with a proper drain, IP67/IP68 load cells and a platform gap cleared after the digging season keep the readings true through the monsoon. A weighbridge used for trade must be verified and stamped by Legal Metrology before use; Symphony gives stamping support.
