Equipment Types
| Bin, Tank, and Hopper Scales are
generally custom designed to fit a particular
process. They are used heavily in food and chemical
processing. Some have simple Bin Level Indicators to
avoid running out of material or to avoid getting
air in the lines. Others have complex Recipe or Menu
Based Batching Systems that involve gates, valves,
conveyors, mixers, heaters, etc. Including weighing
in a process adds a level of complication beyond
material handling. The vessel must be free to move
vertically without restriction. This requires that
ANY connection to the vessel be flexible both
horizontally and vertically. Many
manufacturers produce load cells or Weigh Bars with
mounts suitable to support vessels of all types. See
our Sections on Load
Cells and on Weigh
Bars. They are available in alloy steel and in
stainless steel for wet or corrosive environments.
They are available as FM approved for use in
Hazardous Areas. We have all the latest
instrumentation and communication interfaces – both
hardwired and wireless. See our Section on Weight Indicators.
The weight sensors and instrumentation we sell and
service are from quality conscious, ISO accredited,
manufacturers. The following is representative of what we offer. It is not exclusive. Please contact us with your requirements. Click on the Manufacturer name below for their Bin, Tank, and Hopper Scales |
