"The relationship between Ambiarruda and Cachapuz has always remained very professional with one objective in common: provide a puality service. We acquired Cachapuz's weighbridge, the SBP-M SB, and SPF Vehicle Wighing Platform, and without them, our company could not work as effectively as it does. Relatively to SPAR, it is clearly one quality solution that manages all waste collection process computerization and the equipment maintenance, which contributes largely to the cost reduction and operations timming."
Marco Dias, Director at Ambiarruda
"The acquisition of Cachapuz SPA solution was essential for the productive performance of Interaves. Its speedy response and the assembly of this software are clearly the most relevant aspects to be highlighted, not to mention the fact that it is highly reliable. The productivity of Interaves has been widely benefited due to the results obtained by the monitoring of weighing control and the rigor with which it is performed, thereby ensuring the identification of possible deviations. This relationship, based on responsibility and reliability with Cachapuz, has been a major key to the success of Interaves"
Dr. Marco Barros , production Director, Interaves
CME Águas has acquired a Cachapuz SBP-M weigh bridge in 2007. We are very pleased with our choice, as to date this has proven to be highly reliable and accurate in the weighing process, fact of the utmost importance to CME Águas is very important, since the turnover of the company depends on the tons of the accepted waste. Similarly, we consider that the technical assistance and periodic checks of equipment, are two extremely significant Cachapuz's assets."

"The relationship between Somincor and Cachapuz began in 1988. The loyalty towards Cachapuz is mainly due to the excellent service, the responsiveness of its technical assistance and the efficiency of its equipment. We have started with the acquisition of a 60 000kg weighbridge with a system of mechanical levers which was replaced in 2001 by a 60 000kg weighbridge of eight cells. In addition, we have another 60 000kg weighbridge and 3 weighing platforms of 150 kg. This equipment is annually checked by the Cachapuz technicians, proving the excellence of this service."
Dr. António Rafacho, Responsible for the Weighbridges Sector, SOMINCOR
"As one of the companies with the highest production of melons in the region, Cachapuz's equipment makes all the difference in our business. We have known Cachapuz for 5 years ago and it has always provided us an excellent service: a continuous commercial monitoring, a very helpful technical team with high quality standards. The 16mt weighbridge and the terminal DD1010 have become necessary tools for the productivity of our business, contributing to a more effective performance in the weighing process. We do recommend, without reservation, Cachapuz's equipment and services! "
Manuel Engola, Director at Manuel Engrola (Melon producer)
"The Digital SBP weighbridge has proved to be a tool that matches the technological requirements and services of a company like EGEO. We have noticed its forefront engineering characteristics when put to the test, confirming high performance levels during the weighing operations of our cars, and ability to rapidly adapt to different kinds of waste loads, from the most hazardous to non-hazardous. The framework installation was quick and seemed simple when we know that it is not, given the size of the structure. This also revealed a competent helpdesk service, which reinforced our confidence deposited in Cachapuz. This feeling of trust is rare and essential in the business world."
Carlos Conceição, Licensing Technician, EGEO - Technology and Environment, SA (www.egeo.pt)
"We were looking for a weighbridge that could ensure the highest performance due to the demand and competitiveness of our manufacturing sector. We did not hesitate to choose the Cachapuz SPT 28 among the offers on the market, because the commitment shown by the company in every transaction arouses confidence, something so rare and essential in the business world. We have already put it to the test and the SPT 28 proves to be exactly as described: robust, adaptable and reliable, and we would also add aesthetically appealing. The SPT 28 proved to be resistant, accurate and extremely adaptable, and it may be rose when we need to perform weighings above ground level. We believe that this was one of the company's best investments in recent times."

"The growth and enhanced development of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, registered at the end of the 20th century, was based on the construction of different types of infrastructures, especially in the accessibilities field: harbours, airports and roads; which forced to an adequate response from the construction industry. The amounts of cement needed were such that the bulk cement self-service system was placed in the priority agenda of the company.
Knowing about the existing self-service system in the national cement plants operating 24 hours a day, we came to the conclusion that it was not suitable for our company since we worked and wanted to continue working just for 8 hours a day. We needed a fully automated unmanned system during the supply and cement loading process, but fraud immune. These were the starting conditions when we challenged Cachapuz to solve them and they were solved to one's satisfaction.
In 2001 the bulk self-service unmanned system came into operation 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in the process of supllying and loading cement vehicles, incorporating different mechanisms and fraud prevention devices based on two methods:
- One loading whose cards only allow a cement loading operation, allocated according to the prior checking of the commercial situation of the customer towards the company;
- Multi-loading with cards that allow multiple cement loading operations, with subsequent checking of the commercial situation of the customer towards the company.
This is the system that has been in operation in the company since 2001, allowing meeting the needs of cement of our customers with no additional charges to Cimentos Madeira.
We are pleased to know that this is a worldwide pioneering system, which is being constantly developed and refined in Portugal by national technicians and that it is being implemented in different continents."
