Siddhpur weighbridges for isabgol seed and husk.
Siddhpur in Patan district, on the Saraswati river, is one of North Gujarat's isabgol (psyllium) towns. Farmers and traders bring psyllium seed to the Siddhpur APMC, and processing units clean the seed and mill it into husk and powder for buyers in India and abroad. The same yard trades castor, cumin and other crops of the dry north, and every lot is settled by weight. Symphony supplies weighbridges, truck scales and dharam kanta (धर्म कांटा) across Siddhpur taluka.
A Siddhpur isabgol processor buying seed at the yard and from farmers needs a 40–60 MT, 16 m weighbridge (dharam kanta) that takes a loaded tractor-trolley or a multi-axle truck in one weighing; a yard trader or commission agent 60 MT on 16 m; an oil mill or agro unit receiving multi-axle trucks 60–80 MT on 18 m. Symphony builds it in Ahmedabad and dispatches it about 2 weeks after a cleared order with PO.
Seed in, husk out: the yield is read off the weighbridge.
- Loaded and empty, one slipEvery tractor weighed both ways on one stamped weighbridge, with farmer and village on the SMFW slip.
- Ready for the harvest rushA 16 m platform takes tractor-trolleys and multi-axle trucks in one weighing, so the queue keeps moving.
- Husk dust kept outIP67/IP68 load cells, a sealed junction box and a clean platform gap.

Isabgol processors, yard traders, oil mills in Siddhpur taluka.
Isabgol processors
Much of the year's seed is bought at the yard and from farmers in a few weeks after harvest, and the yield of husk from seed decides the margin.
Our setup: A 40–60 MT, 16 m weighbridge for tractor-trolleys and trucks, every tractor weighed loaded and empty, and the lot number on each SMFW slip.
Traders and commission agents at the yard
A farmer is paid on the net weight, and both buyer and seller want the same figure in writing.
Our setup: A 60 MT, 16 m pit-less weighbridge with a printed slip for each side and SMFW totals by party at the end of the day.
Oil mills and agro units receiving multi-axle trucks
Seed and other produce arrive on multi-axle trucks from across the district, and oil, cake and finished goods leave by weight.
Our setup: A 60–80 MT, 18 m weighbridge in pit-less steel or concrete (RCC), with stored tares for regular trucks.

Plan for the harvest weeks before the first trolley arrives.
Psyllium is a winter crop, and once it is harvested in early spring a processor buys much of the year's seed in a few busy weeks. Most of it arrives on farmers' tractor-trolleys rather than on regular trucks, so stored tares do not help: every tractor is weighed loaded and then empty, and the farmer is paid on the difference the same day. Two things keep that queue moving. First, a 16 m platform takes a tractor-trolley or a multi-axle truck in one weighing, so nothing has to be uncoupled. Second, SMFW prints the farmer's name and village on the slip and adds up each party's purchases for the day, which saves the accounts desk an evening of totals. Through the year the processor's key number is the yield of husk from seed; weighing every seed lot in and every husk and powder load out on the same stamped weighbridge lets that yield be followed lot by lot. Seed spills and fine husk dust work their way into every gap, so keep the gap around the platform clean and use IP67/IP68 load cells with a sealed junction box. The soils of the Saraswati plain vary from site to site, so the foundation follows a soil check. A weighbridge used for trade must be verified and stamped by Legal Metrology before use; Symphony gives stamping support.
