Determining Raw Flax Regain Mass for Dock Intake Reconciliation
Dock intake reconciliation converts landed gross weight to bone-dry mass via core oven desiccation before adding official twelve percent commercial regain.
Landed Weighbridge Mass
Bulk Measurement
Mill receiving scale platforms record total truck container weight upon arrival at factory gates to establish raw material delivery quantities. Freight accounting relies on landed weighbridge mass to verify physical bulk deliveries against shipping bills of lading issued at export ports. Scale records capture gross vehicle weight before unloading and tare weight after empty vehicles exit the site.
Certified weighbridge software generates non-editable weight receipts used in financial reconciliation.
Tally Procedure
Automated scale sensors capture overall vehicle weight as shipping containers enter factory receiving bays. Scale operators generate gross receipts before directing vehicles to raw material warehouses, where forklift crews unload raw flax bales. Once unloading completes, empty trucks return to the scale platform to establish tare weight, allowing mill software to compute net landed weighbridge mass for the delivered lot.
Receiving managers compare net readings against supplier manifest weight to identify physical loss during transit. Discrepancies exceeding commercial tolerances prompt joint inspection protocols before bales enter mill storage. Customs officials and commercial auditors accept weighbridge printouts as primary evidence for import reconciliation.
Mass Distinction
Gross gate weighings document total delivered bulk mass without evaluating internal package composition or moisture levels. Landed weighbridge mass does not indicate clean dry fibre content or commercial moisture regain percentage within scutched flax bales. Mill testing laboratories draw core samples immediately after weighbridge tallying to convert gross landed mass into settled commercial weight.
