FarmWeigh is an Australian company that assists farms and farmers with weighing solutions. Our products are robust and designed specifically
for farms and farmers. Our design criteria include ease of installation and operation along with robustness and cost effectivness.
The
nature of farming has changed dramatically in the past fifteen years. Where once the farmer grew his commodity then found a market
to sell it into, the market now drives the production process of the farmer, demanding product be grown to certain criteria and specifications.
Producing commodity to a specification requires more control during the growing or production process. In order to control it is necessary
to measure and weighing is one of the most accurate and common means of measurement.
Rising fuel costs, massive increases in farm equipment
prices and technology and world wide competition has seen farm margins reduced dramatically. Measurement and control of production
assists the farmer to maintain the best nett profit available. If you are not measuring product you will be giving product away and
reducing your profit margin.
With the introduction of the Federal Chain of Responsibility Legislation farmers share the responsibility
for legal loading of trucks as they leave the farm. FarmWeigh has a range of products that enable the farmer to weigh his product
anywhere at any time ensuring he has taken reasonable steps to comply with the Chain of Responsibility Legislation and thus providing
solid defence in the event of an overloading fine.
In addition to off-the-shelf weighing solutions FarmWeigh provides custom solutions
to farms, farmers and farm-related enterprises to ensure they improve their bottom line.
Following the worsening of the drought
in 2006 and to better utilise our experience in industrial weighing solutions, FarmWeigh has extended its marketing push into the
mining and industrial markets with excellent response and results so early.
At FarmWeigh we pride ourselves on providing the best service, advice and solutions available in our field and take the time and effort
to visit you at your farm to ensure we really do understand your requirements and provide solutions that are in your best interests.

About FarmWeigh
Mantis & Mantis Plus released
In response to many customer requests, FarmWeigh is pleased to announce the release of the Mantis Transfer Weigher and the Mantis Plus Loading system. The Mantis is a 3.5m long auger or belt conveyor with an unbuilt FarmWeigh CheckWeigher. This enables the farmer to use any of his augers or belt conveyors at any length to fill and outload silos or storage facilities.
The Mantis Plus is a hopper with a belt conveyor or auger at the discharge and a FarmWeigh incorporated and provides users the ability to accurately load shipping container or trucks with automation. Set weights control the loading ensuring a consistent load, reducing fines, weighbridge costs and re-weighing delays. More can be read about the Mantis Plus on our "News" page that highlights one of recent installations of the system.
Check back soon, in our Product Index, for more information and brochures on both the systems.

Business union with Aust-Mech assures a quality future
FarmWeigh is very excited to announce a buiness union with Dalby based materials handling specialist company, Aust-Mech Australian Conveyor Systems. Aust-Mech's belt conveyors (or, shifters, tubulators, depending where you come from) are sold throughout the world and have a reputation for their sound engineering, exceptional performance and longevitity.
Aust-Mech will now manufacture FarmWeigh's weigh hoods for the CheckWeighers and the Mantis range of products. Plans are under way to have Aust-Mech manfucaturing our weighbridges too, ensuring shorter leadtimes for our customers.
FarmWeigh will also move toward marketing and supporting the Aust-Mech range of conveying systems in the southern states to provide the market with improved service and accessibility to Aust-Mech systems.
Shipping Container Scales installed in PNG
More detailed information can be found on the News page, but Shane Driscoll has recently returned from PNG where a very successful commissioning of a shipping container scale was undertaken. Shane was delighted with the project's success and was more than impressed by the countryside and people in PNG.
