Signature Swiss Aggregate Producer Chooses Quarry Load Volume Scanner for Accuracy and Reliability

Loadscan is proud to welcome Makies AG, a respected Swiss aggregate producer, as a valued customer.

For their new quarry operation in Ebersecken, the Makies team wanted a system that could deliver reliable and accurate load measurement without the inconsistencies of traditional weighing methods. After evaluating their options, Makies selected the Loadscan quarry load volume scanner (LVS) for its proven accuracy, reliability, and non-contact truck measurement technology.

Why Makies Chose a Load Volume Scanner

In quarry operations, where efficiency and precision drive profitability, accurate material measurement is critical. Makies required a solution that would allow them to track truck load volumes with confidence, streamline operations, and support transparent reporting. Traditional weighbridges often leave room for error due to variables such as moisture, compaction, and loading technique. By switching to a volumetric load measurement system, Makies eliminated these inconsistencies.

Initial onsite testing of the quarry load volume scanner proved highly successful. The LVS provided valuable load data in real time, helping the operations team optimise productivity and maintain accurate records for both internal tracking and customer invoicing.

Benefits of the Fixed Load Volume Scanner

Makies implemented a fixed load volume scanner, which is ideal for quarry sites with permanent offices. The system is hardwired directly to the office, providing instant access to load data while ensuring operators remain protected from the elements.

Key benefits include:

  • Non-contact truck measurement for faster, safer scanning.

  • Proven ±1% accuracy, ensuring reliable volume reporting.

  • Real-time data access, improving operational efficiency.

  • Custom installation options, with a pre-cast mounting block included as standard.

The adoption of Loadscan’s LVS technology has not only enhanced quarry operations efficiency for Makies but has also reinforced their reputation for quality and reliability in Switzerland’s aggregate sector.
