Nanded weighbridges for cane yards, gins and MIDC gates.
Nanded, on the Godavari in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, is a pilgrimage city for Sikhs, with Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib at its heart, and the trading centre of a large farming district. The black-soil fields around Nanded, Deglur, Mukhed, Kandhar, Loha and Hadgaon grow soybean, cotton, tur, sugarcane and turmeric, Ardhapur is known for its bananas, sugar factories run through the district in the crushing season, and the MIDC estates at Nanded and Krushnur hold processing and manufacturing units. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा / tol kanta) across Nanded district.
A Nanded sugar factory usually needs a 60–80 MT, 16–18 m weighbridge stamped for trade at the cane yard; a cotton ginning unit or APMC trader 40–60 MT on 12–16 m; a turmeric or banana trader 40 MT on 12 m; an MIDC unit at Nanded or Krushnur 40–60 MT on 16 m; a public weighbridge 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.

Sugar factories, turmeric traders and banana packers across Nanded district.
Sugar factory cane yards
A tractor with two trolleys must be weighed in one go, and every grower is paid on the slip, so the yard weighbridge runs day and night from November to April.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 16–18 m stamped pit-less steel or RCC weighbridge with stored tares, SMFW grower codes and the unmanned option.
Turmeric traders and polishing units
Turmeric is dug from February, dried and sold by weight, and the lot that goes for polishing comes back lighter, so in and out weights both matter.
Our setup: A 40 MT, 12 m stamped pit-less steel weighbridge with SMFW lot-wise gross, tare and net.
Banana packers at Ardhapur
Bunches leave all year in 10- and 12-wheel trucks for markets in other states, and the buyer pays on the net weight loaded.
Our setup: A 40 MT, 12 m stamped pit-less steel weighbridge, 16 m where 12-wheel trucks load out, with slips by grower, vehicle and destination.

Godavari black soil and the crushing season: sizing a Nanded weighbridge.
The crushing season sets the pace at a Nanded sugar factory. From about November to April, cane arrives day and night in tractors pulling one or two trolleys and in bullock carts, and the farmer is paid on the net weight of each trolley, so the cane-yard weighbridge needs 60–80 MT on 16–18 m to take a tractor with a double trolley in one weighing, stored tares for the regular tractors, and an SMFW slip with the grower's code on every load. Cotton gins work from October, turmeric is dug from February and sold dry by weight, and bananas from Ardhapur leave all year in 10- and 12-wheel trucks for markets in other states, so a trader's 40 MT, 12 m weighbridge or a gin's 40–60 MT, 12–16 m platform sees steady use between seasons. Much of Nanded district is black cotton soil over basalt: it swells in the monsoon and shrinks and cracks in summer, so the foundation goes down to firm strata as the drawing for your site requires, and the approaches stay level so a long trolley does not lift one axle. A 16–18 m pit-less steel weighbridge on pedestals keeps the load cells clear of standing water in the rains; where the pit is unavoidable, give it a drain that keeps working through a Marathwada downpour. Plan stamping and re-verification before the cane season, and keep sealed IP67/IP68 load cells and a closed indicator cabin in the yards, where mud and cane trash collect.
