Split-type 100-ton truck scale shipped to Angola! Hengbiao Technology accelerates infrastructure development for an African glass factory.

 Recently, the production facility of Chongqing Hengbiao Technology Co., Ltd. (International Brand: Hengbiao) successfully completed the full-process pre-assembly and testing of a customized 150-ton modular export truck scale destined for a glass factory project in Angola. Measuring 3.4m x 18m, the scale passed factory acceptance tests—including simulated on-site assembly and accuracy verification—and is now ready to be packed into ocean-going containers for shipment to Angola, providing robust hardware support for weighing bulk raw materials and finished goods at the local glass manufacturing facility.

Hou Zhenling, Chairman of Hengbiao Technology, explained that to address the challenges associated with shipping oversized and overweight equipment, this batch of 150-ton truck scales utilizes a modular, split-platform design. The entire unit is disassembled into multiple independent platform sections, with each component sized to fit standard shipping containers. This approach effectively eliminates industry pain points—such as high ocean freight costs, loading difficulties, and high cargo damage rates—inherent in shipping oversized equipment. It represents a mature, market-ready solution optimized by Hengbiao for export projects in Africa.

During the factory testing phase, Hengbiao’s technical team strictly adhered to the installation specifications required for the Angolan project, replicating the entire overseas on-site installation workflow. Key procedures included platform alignment and splicing, high-strength bolt fastening, pre-installation of high-precision load cells, leveling of the entire unit, and simulated accuracy verification. Through this 1:1 scale pre-assembly process, the team identified and resolved potential issues—such as joint gaps, assembly tolerances, and component fit—while simultaneously optimizing on-site assembly techniques. This significantly reduces the installation time required after the equipment arrives in Africa, ensuring the project schedule remains on track.

Located on the west coast of Africa, Angola experiences hot, humid weather year-round with high atmospheric moisture; such corrosive conditions often cause standard weighing equipment—specifically steel components and sensors—to rust or malfunction, leading to measurement inaccuracies. Tailoring its approach to the local industrial climate, Hengbiao has implemented specialized anti-corrosion and structural reinforcements for the entire truck scale unit. The platform’s main structure utilizes treatments resistant to heat and humidity, while critical components feature moisture-proof protective designs. These measures ensure long-term reliability in harsh conditions characterized by high temperatures, heavy rainfall, and corrosive moisture, effectively meeting the heavy-duty weighing needs of a glass factory—from the intake of raw materials like sand and gravel to the outbound shipment of finished glass—and guaranteeing accurate, reliable data for trade settlements.

In recent years, driven by deepening China-Africa economic cooperation and the expansion of local infrastructure and manufacturing across Africa, the Chongqing-based brand Hengbiao has steadily cultivated the African market. By leveraging customized weighing solutions, designs adapted to local industrial conditions, and pre-assembly services, the company has successfully deployed products for industrial and infrastructure projects in countries such as Angola, Cambodia, Laos, and Nigeria. These Chinese-made weighing systems have earned consistent recognition from overseas clients for their high stability and adaptability.

The successful acceptance and shipment of this 150-ton modular truck scale marks another milestone for Hengbiao Technology’s customized export products. It will help the local Angolan glass industry complete its supply chain infrastructure, accelerate the commissioning of local building material facilities, and further burnish the reputation of "Smart Manufacturing from Chongqing" and Chinese weighing equipment in the global market.
