Mobile weighing in waste management and recycling
Waste management and recycling require fast and smart processes. You want to know exactly how much material you are processing, transporting or settling. Traditional weighing often means extra handling, waiting times or unnecessary trips to fixed weighbridges. This costs time and increases the chance of errors or loss of valuable data.
With mobile weighing, that changes. You weigh waste streams directly while they are being moved, for example when emptying containers or during internal transport of materials. In this way, you continuously keep track of how much waste you are collecting and processing. You save time, avoid duplicate operations and work more efficiently. Moreover, mobile weighing makes it easier to report transparently to customers or government agencies. That gives you control over your processes and your results.

Dino Salihbegovic - Account Manager Netherlands at RAVAS
"We find that more and more recycling companies are looking beyond efficiency. They want insight, sustainability and control over their material streams. With mobile weighing systems, we can really add value to that."
Accurate and efficient
All in one motion
It's all about control: on how much you process, how much you dispose of and what it costs. A few kilograms difference can already have consequences for invoicing or reporting. Therefore, accurate and Legal for Trade (OIML-approved) weighing is very important if you invoice by weight. This way you meet the legal requirements and avoid discussions with customers.
With mobile weighing, you integrate the weighing moment directly into your existing work process. Instead of weighing separately, it is done while moving materials. So you not only save time, but also work smarter and can invoice directly. The data is immediately available and can be linked to your administration or ERP system. This ensures transparency, prevents errors and keeps you in control of your processes and costs.

Built for tough conditions
For each waste stream
Every waste stream is different. Whether you work with industrial waste, construction and demolition materials, metals, paper, plastics or glass: mobile weighing fits virtually any process. You get instant insight into how much material you collect, process or dispose of. That helps with sorting, planning and reporting.
But waste environments also place high demands on your equipment. You often work outside, in dusty, dirty or wet conditions. That's why mobile weighing systems for this sector are robustly built, shock-resistant and easy to clean. And with the right data integration, you link weighing data effortlessly to your existing systems. This way, mobile weighing fits seamlessly into the practice of waste management and recycling.
