French construction materials group 725 Lafarge has partnered with weighing instrument specialist Precia Molen to develop a system for the recomposing of aggregates and commercial weighing at the Signes site, with a capacity of 1,500tonnes.

Using Precia Molen' XKV volumetric extractors located in a 5m tunnel, the system guarantees consistent production quality and allows the site to adapt to the needs of each client.

The loading system has become fully automatic, with Lafarge's head of operations, Thierry Marchand, noting that a full cycle now takes ten minutes instead of the 40 minutes required for human intervention.
