Good question. Each farmer filled out a docked for each bin (wagon) which was left near the siding. The engine crew took it back to the mill with the train. At 11 minutes 15 secs of the Fairleigh Mill video, you will see a farmer doing this. But why not watch all the video?? Enjoy
Not only dockets, but the bins are serial numbered and BarCoded; so at the Mill, each bin can be Sugar tested as it is crushed, as well as weighed before rotaray dumping into the Crusher train of rollers. Other analysis such a mud content, etc is also checked as each binload goes through. From an ex- cane owner.
Astrid Vallati Thanks for the extra information. All bins in all mills are numbered and I also recall seeing the barcode plates and assumed that they were read by equipment at the weighbridge. I had an idea that cane samples from each farmer’s load were tested for sugar content etc so he could be paid accordingly.
@@tressteleg1 Serial number plates are obsolete bins and bogies have unique RFID tags that are referenced back to a database and sample numbers automatically generated. The tippler also uses the weighed bin data to automatically determine the best time to tip the next bin rather than a carrier clear sensor that most mills utilize, important due to the slow speed of a side tipper.
It is shown at in some of my videos, but I can’t remember which ones. Anyway, a pair of bins, separated from the rest, are rolled into a Tippler which rotates them sideways all the way around 360°. The cane falls out into a big funnel underneath where there is a conveyor belt which takes the cane into the factory for processing. See my video. “Farleigh Mill Tour - How sugar is made”.
Thanks. You have probably seen the rest already, but if not these are the other cane railways as at 2015. Sugar Cane Railways Qld Australia ua-cam.com/play/PLLtOIHp49XND6bcwLgbtsBFKmh_DsS_yl.html
Yes I got a lot of cooperation from everyone at Sarina, which was not the case in a couple of mills. But take your time. No need to rush or you’ll remember little about any of them 😄

Thanks for the update.
Neat video. Just curious as to how this all worked. If farmers just filled bins on a siding how did they keep track of who filled what bin(s)?
how do they empty the bins at mill

Almost the same as Indonesia but in Australia it is more modern
I would hope so! 😆
