Vehicle Weighing Systems VK Series Wagon Scales are specialized industrial systems designed to measure the weight of freight wagons on railways with high precision. Playing a critical role in mining, iron and steel, logistics, and agriculture sectors, these scales guarantee the accuracy of commercial transactions.
Railway transportation is one of the most efficient logistics methods worldwide, especially for heavy and bulk loads. Millions of tons of products, from mineral ores to grains, chemicals to construction materials, are transported by wagons every day. At the center of this massive operation are wagon scales.
Developed with Tamceki's over 40 years of experience, the VK Series offers a reliable solution in industrial weighing with its strong mechanical structure, CE-certified production, and computer-aided weighing programs.
In its most basic definition, a wagon scale (or rail scale) is a system that measures the gross or tare weight of a wagon placed on it. This system generally consists of the following components:
Railway logistics is like the links of a chain. One of the strongest links in this chain is accurate and reliable weighing. The role of wagon scales in this ecosystem is multifaceted:
Fixed wagon scales, as the name suggests, are systems permanently mounted at a specific location. They are the ideal solution for high-traffic and long-term operations.
Pit-type scales are mounted inside a specially prepared concrete pit to provide a platform appearance at ground level. The mechanical components and load cells of the scale are protected from environmental factors within the pit.
Pitless scales are mounted on the ground surface, with concrete or steel ramps at both ends for wagons to access the platform. Installation is faster and less costly.
Static Wagon Scales: In this system, the wagon is completely stopped on the weighing platform and its weight is measured. This method offers the highest precision and accuracy.
Dynamic Wagon Scales (In-Motion Weighing): In this system, wagons are weighed while passing over the platform at a low and constant speed. The greatest advantage is speed and efficiency.
Capacity: Refers to the maximum weight the scale can safely weigh. Choosing a capacity at least 20-25% higher than the weight of the heaviest loaded wagon extends the scale's lifespan.
Precision (Division): The smallest weight increment the scale can display. For example, in the expression "150,000 kg / 50 kg", 50 kg is the scale's precision.
Wagons are extensively used for transporting mineral ores such as coal, iron, copper, and boron from mines to processing facilities or ports. In this sector, accurate weighing of high-tonnage bulk loads is essential for both cost control and shipment planning.
In iron and steel factories, weighing is performed at every stage, from the entry of scrap metal to the facility to the shipment of finished products. These environments are generally dusty, hot, and extremely demanding.
Ports are intersection points of railway, maritime, and road transportation. Weighing during the transfer of containers or bulk loads from ships to trains or trains to ships is critically important for logistics chain efficiency.
Tons of grains such as wheat, corn, barley, and sunflower seeds, as well as industrial agricultural products like sugar beet, are typically transported by wagons. Commercial precision is at its highest level in this sector.
You can create a simple but effective maintenance program to extend the life of your scale and prevent unexpected breakdowns: weekly visual inspection, monthly cleaning, quarterly checks, and annual professional maintenance.
Calibration is the process of checking the accuracy of a weighing instrument using reference masses with known weights (standard weights) and adjusting if necessary.
