Tank, Silo, Hopper and Bin Scale Indicators

Rugged, accurate and flexible tank- and hopper-scale indicators and terminals

Call for Quote
Scale indicators and scale controller systems for tanks, silos, hoppers, or bins display weight measurements from the load cells installed on the structure. Scale indicators can be programmed for specific tasks and material types to ensure accurate measurements and efficient use of the structure. The scale indicator can be located remotely or directly on the structure for easy access and visibility and can also be connected to a computer or other devices for data logging and further analysis.

How does a weight indicator work for tanks?

A weight indicator is an electronic device that receives weight measurements from load cells and displays the weight on a digital or analog screen.

Here is how a weight indicator works for tanks, silos, hoppers, or bins:

  1. Load cells are installed in the structure that needs to be weighed, such as a tank, silo, hopper, or bin. The load cells are designed to convert the weight of the structure and the material it contains into an electrical signal.

  2. The electrical signal from the load cells is sent to the weight indicator through wiring or wireless communication.

  3. The weight indicator takes the signal from the load cells and converts it into a readable weight measurement.

  4. The weight measurement is displayed on the weight indicator's screen. The weight indicator may also have additional features such as alarms, data storage, and connectivity options to other devices such as computers, printers, or networks.

  5. The weight indicator can be calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the weight measurement by adjusting its settings based on the load cells and the environment it is placed in.

Overall, a weight indicator provides an easy and efficient way to monitor the weight of structures and materials, which is useful for a wide range of applications such as inventory management, production control, and quality assurance.

What is a silo weighing system?

A silo weighing system is a type of weighing system used to measure the weight of materials stored in a silo or tank. It typically consists of load cells that are installed at the base of the silo or tank to measure the weight of the material inside. The load cells are connected to a scale indicator or control system that calculates the weight of the material based on the readings from the load cells. Silo weighing systems are commonly used in industries such as agriculture, food processing, and chemical manufacturing to monitor inventory levels and manage production processes.

What is a hopper scale?

A hopper scale is a type of weighing system used to accurately measure the weight of materials in a hopper. Hoppers are containers with a funnel-shaped opening at the top used to hold and dispense materials such as grains, powders, or liquids. Hopper scales are typically used in industries such as agriculture, food processing, mining, and pharmaceuticals to weigh materials during production processes or to measure inventory levels.

A hopper scale typically consists of load cells that are installed underneath the hopper to measure the weight of the material inside. The load cells are connected to a scale indicator or control system that calculates the weight of the material based on the readings from the load cells. Hopper scales can be designed to accommodate a range of hopper sizes and materials and can be customized to meet the specific needs of different industries.

What are the benefits of using a silo weighing system?

There are several benefits to using a silo weighing system, including:

  • Accurate inventory management: A silo weighing system provides accurate measurements of the material stored inside a silo, allowing for better inventory management and control. This helps to minimize waste and optimize production processes.

  • Real-time monitoring: A silo weighing system allows for real-time monitoring of inventory levels, providing users with up-to-date information on the quantity of materials stored in the silo. This helps to ensure that materials are always available when needed.

  • Improved efficiency: By providing accurate measurements of materials, a silo weighing system can help to improve the efficiency of production processes, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.

  • Cost savings: By reducing waste and optimizing production processes, a silo weighing system can help to save costs associated with materials, labor, and downtime.

  • Compliance: Many industries have regulations and standards that require accurate inventory management and control. A silo weighing system can help ensure compliance with these regulations and standards, reducing the risk of fines and other penalties.
