Silo weighing system

Silo weighing system

General properties

• implementation: depending on requirements and application
• special stainless steel load cells mounted beneath the feet of the silo
• silo weighing (unloading / loading weight)
• level determination in the silo weighing through weighing
• tank and hopper weighing

Weight indicator ASX properties

• version CE approved (application for legal trade)
• versatile transmitter / weight indicator for high performance
• easy to use 20-key waterproof keyboard
• highly efficient red LED display with 6 20 mm digits and 12 LEDs for showing active functions
• stainless steel case; frontpanel 170 x 170 mm
• inclusive adjustable table stand / wall mounting bracket

• up to displayable 1,000,000d with internal resolution up to 3,000,000 points
• connectable with up to 16 analog load cells with 350 O input resistance
• management of a digitally equalised 4-cell weighing system or management of 4 independent weighing systems.
• master/slave management (up to 4 slaves / 1 master)
• extensive functions like automatic- and presettable tare, total weight, recipe, net/gross, piece counting, hold, peak, printing / data transmission, etc.
• RS-232/C bidirectional port for connection to external units
• RS-232/C bidirectional port for connection to printer
• 6 fotomosfet outputs; 4 opto-isolated photo coupler inputs

• power: from 12 Vdc to 24 Vdc

Possible options with other systems, which dosage applies, ask our experts for alternative indicators:

(Indicator with special dosage software for dispensing one or more products in both load- and unload mode, memory backup dosage data in case of sudden shutdown of the indicator).

The termination of the dosage in the achievement of the target weight is controlled as follows:

• single product dosage (load), (manually and automatically controlled).
  Configuration control of a dosing system of a single product. Application with partition of products with equal weight, extracting precise quantities from the silo, to support the operator with manual dosage.
• single product dosage (unload).
  Configuration control of a dosing system of a single product. Application in the extraction of accurate quantities from the silo, with management control for the refilling of the silo.
• multi-product dosage (load and unload)
  Configuration control of a dosing system of multiple products. For mixing products through recipe, with management control for mixers, burners or vibrators using dedicated switch contacts.

LOAD: by weighing of the container which is filled; the weight increases until the set target weight is reached;
UNLOAD: by weighing of the silo from which the product is extracted; the weight decreases until the set target weight is reached.
