Discover the Future of Weighing Solutions with Essae Digitronics at STAR MAIL EXHIBITION KANCHIPURAM 2024

Rice and pulses are the primary commodities of the world’s most populous country. India is the largest producer of rice, wheat and pulses in the world. Higher-than-average rainfall is projected to increase India’s rice acreage by 5.3% during the monsoon season, while pulse acreage will increase by 11%.

Amidst this scenario, substantial growth is also expected in the grain processing sector. The food production businesses cater to supplying the country’s food and nutrition needs, hence supporting economic development. There are several major and minor companies in the country’s grain milling and pulse processing industries.

The STAR MAIL Exhibition—Rice & Pulses High Tech Expo was scheduled for August 9–11, 2024. It has been postponed due to heavy rains. The event is now on August 24-26, 2024, at Sugumari Kalyana Mandapam in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. It will bring together key businesses in the rice and pulse industries.

Agriculture Weighing Solutions by Essae Digitronics

Essae Digitronics, India’s leading weighbridge manufacturer, has developed a range of solutions for the agriculture and food processing industries. It includes semi-automatic bag filling machines, silo weighing systems, and weighbridges for multipurpose applications, including agriculture and engineering.

Semi-automatic Bag Filling Machines

Semi-automatic Bag Filling machines ensure that food grains or pulses of the right quantity are filled in the bags. Precise ingredient measurement guarantees consistency in taste, nutritional value, and texture in the food sector.

Semi-automatic bag fillers make use of advanced technology, such as digital load cells located beneath the platform. Intelligent controls are utilized to analyze data and fill the bag efficiently. Packing and sealing processes are foolproof with inert gas injection to eliminate the presence of oxygen in the bag. It helps in weighing the accuracy and spoilage of material due to chemical reactions and biological processes.

Silo Weighing Solutions

EssaeSilo Weighing Solutions help prevent underfilling or overfilling of materials in agri-processing industries. Inventory management can be effectively done as the machine provides the live weight of the material. Costs related to excess holdings of inventory can be avoided. It contributes to better utilization of warehousing space. Silo weighing also helps with legal compliance, avoids penalties, and prevents theft and pilferage of goods in production. Precision weighing helps in data analytics, maintaining quality, and optimizing resources. The use of load cells with double shear beam mounting helps in the protection of load cells from extreme environmental conditions.

Agro Scale

Agro Scale is ideal for use in sugar, waste management, coir, tea, and mandi-based applications in the agriculture sector. It has a maximum capacity of up to 30 tons with a 4-load-cell platform. It is recommended for light and medium commercial vehicles. Load cells can be used with Essae terminals, software packages, and printers. It comes in two models: surface-mounted and pit-mounted, incorporating optional steel ramps. It is designed as a fully welded structure with minimum site work.

Here’s the Essae Agro Scale Technical Specification and Accessories:

Technical Specification

• Maximum weighing capacity is 30 tons.

Grain Storage Solutions (SILOS)

Essae SILOS is a complete system for safely storing grains and preventing spoilage. The key features of SILOS include:

• Temperature Monitoring: Temperature Monitoring to prevent risk of fungus, rodents, or insects.
• Sealant System: Sealant System for waterproofing and grain aeration.
• Discharge Gates: Discharge gates control the flow of grains based on the discharge required. It can be manually operated or motor operated.
• Sweep Augur: Sweep Augur is suited for bottomed silos primarily in farm stores and commercial grain seed stores.  It ensures that whatever residual material is left in the silos after initial discharge is shoveled automatically through 360 degrees.
• Bucket Elevator & Structure: This is designed to work with silo for lifting grain with a steel or plastic bucket. It is widely used for conveying powder, granular and non-small-block mills, and grinding of small materials.
• Drum Sieve: This helps remove foreign matters such as grass, stones, and sands from the grains. This acts as a preclearing unit with drum case, drum, and upper chamber. It is anti-corrosive.
• Fumigation System: This helps in acting against insects, and the fumigant is evenly distributed so that fumigation becomes effective and decay of grains is prevented.
• Bag Stacker: Mobile bag stackers help in loading bags into godowns or vehicles for any further transportation. Cereals, sugar, grain, and sugar bags are all handled with a stacker.
• Conveyors: Chain or belt conveyors help in material transfer.

Essae Digitronics is India’s leading manufacturer of weighbridges with over 16,000 installations across various industries. The use of advanced digital technologies, engineering techniques, and practices, as well as the use of advanced steel and corrosion-proofing, helps develop sustainable products for industry.
