Hopper & Silo Weighing Systems
Hopper and silo weighing systems are critical for bulk material handling in industries like food processing, chemicals, and agriculture. These systems ensure accurate measurement of powders, grains, liquids, and other bulk commodities.
Types of Hopper & Silo Weighing
- Load Cell Hoppers: Measure weight using load cells under the hopper or silo.
- Strain Gauge Systems: Detect deformation in support structures to calculate weight.
- Flow Weighing: Measures material while it flows through hoppers or chutes.
Applications
- Batching and dosing in production lines.
- Inventory management of raw materials and finished goods.
- Process control in chemical, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
Installation and Maintenance
- Ensure stable mounting and alignment of load cells.
- Regularly check for mechanical wear, corrosion, and debris buildup.
- Calibrate systems periodically to maintain accuracy.
