Hopper - Tank Weighing System


Hopper, Tank and Vessel weighing system consists of  mounting assemblies, load cells, weight indicator and any other hardware and software depending upon application.

In process industry raw materials and finished goods are stored in vessels and tanks. Hoppers are used for intermediate weighing and discharging for further process. It is critical to know the availability of raw material and finished goods at any instance of time to manage inventory control.

Process Weighing System makes this easy by mounting loadcells under tank/hopper/ vessels using proper mounting assemblies. Different types of load cells and mounting assemblies are used depending upon capacity and structure of the tank. Weighing indicator is connected to load cells using junction box. Weight indicator is calibrated for full tank capacity. Now it is possible to know the exact weight of material in the tank and this opens up many applications and uses of this system.

Tank Weighing and Vessel weighing systems are used for:

Inventory control – easy verification of stock in tanks
Level control – on gravemetric basis
Batching – Adding different ingredients of known weight to collection hopper
Loss in weight – Monitoring based on reduction in weight
Gain in weight – Monitoring based on increase in weight.
