Nashik weighbridges for onion chawls and grape packhouses.
Nashik is the onion and grape country of Maharashtra. Onions from Niphad, Lasalgaon and Pimpalgaon are traded and stored in chawls through the year, vineyards around Dindori and Niphad pack table grapes for export and supply the wineries, and the MIDC estates at Satpur, Ambad and Sinnar make engineering and automotive parts. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta, tol kanta or vajan kata (धर्म कांटा / तौल कांटा / वजन काटा) across Nashik district.
A Nashik onion trader or chawl owner needs a 40–60 MT, 16 m weighbridge (dharam kanta or vajan kata) to weigh stock in and out; a grape packhouse 60 MT on 18 m for reefer containers, and an MIDC engineering unit 60–80 MT. Symphony builds the truck scale in Ahmedabad.
Onion dries in the chawl: weigh it in, weigh it out.
- Storage loss in black and whiteWeigh every onion lot into the chawl and out again; SMFW keeps both slips against the party and vehicle number.
- Reefers weighed before they leaveAn 18 m weighbridge takes a 40-ft reefer trailer in one go, so the loaded truck is weighed before it leaves the packhouse; the exporter or its agent derives the container weight for the shipping papers as the shipping line requires.
- Raised for the monsoonA pit-less weighbridge on raised pedestals with sealed IP68/IP69K load cells keeps working through the wet months.
Who needs one in Nashik: Onion trade and storage at the Lasalgaon, Pimpalgaon and Nashik APMC yards, grape packhouses, cold stores and wineries, engineering, automotive and electrical units in the MIDC areas at Satpur, Ambad and Sinnar, and transport serving the Mumbai–Agra highway.
Also called a dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा), truck scale or weigh bridge. We also serve Sinnar, Lasalgaon, Niphad, Pimpalgaon Baswant, Dindori, Igatpuri.
Onion traders, grape exporters and MIDC engineering units.
Onion traders and chawl owners
Onion is bought by weight in the harvest months and sold by weight months later, after it has dried in the chawl; without a weight on both sides, the storage loss is a guess.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge with SMFW slips, so every lot has an inward and an outward slip under the same party name.
Grape packhouses and exporters
Export grapes leave in reefer containers in a short season, and the exporter or its agent derives the container weight for the shipping papers as the shipping line requires.
Our setup: A 60 MT, 18 m pit-less steel weighbridge so a 40-ft reefer trailer weighs in one go, with slips that carry the vehicle number, party and challan field.
MIDC engineering and auto component units
Steel bars, castings and forgings come in by weight and machined parts leave by weight, and the store must reconcile both every month.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT concrete (RCC) or pit-less steel weighbridge, 16 m for trucks and 18 m where bar trailers come in, with SMFW reports by party.

Ghat-side monsoon and onion skins: raise the weighbridge, seal the cells.
In Nashik the weighbridge settles two very different trades. Onion is bought from the farmer by weight, stored in chawls for months and sold by weight, and it can lose weight in storage as it dries; only a weighbridge reading at the gate, in and out, shows the real storage loss and the real margin. Grapes move in the opposite way: fast, cold and boxed, in reefer containers (the exporter or its agent derives the container weight for the shipping papers as the shipping line requires), so the weighbridge should take a 40-ft reefer trailer in one go. The monsoon is heavy on the ghat side around Igatpuri and the soil around the yards turns to mud, so raise the weighbridge on a pit-less foundation, slope the approaches away from it and keep the drain clear. Onion skins and dust blow into every corner at the APMC yards, so use sealed IP68/IP69K load cells and clear the gap around the weighbridge after every busy day.
