A weighing module is a sensor assembly that integrates a load cell and supporting structure. In powder conveying systems, they are installed beneath silos, hoppers, or tanks to accurately measure the weight of the powder stored within.
Features:
- Accurate weight measurement: Enables precise monitoring of powder inventory and facilitates controlled dosing.
- Diverse capacities: Available in various capacities to accommodate different silo sizes and powder weight ranges.
- Rugged construction: Designed to withstand the demanding environment of powder handling, often constructed from stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
- Easy integration: Integrates seamlessly with existing conveying systems and control panels.
- Load cell options: Different load cell types (shear beam, compression, etc.) cater to specific application requirements and weight capacities.
Uses:
- Real-time inventory monitoring: Provides accurate and continuous data on the weight of powder remaining in the silo/hopper.
- Precise dosing control: Enables controlled dispensing of specific powder quantities for accurate recipe formulation and process control.
- Loss prevention: Minimizes material waste by enabling precise monitoring of powder usage.
- Improved process efficiency: Allows for optimized production planning and scheduling based on real-time inventory data.
- Data integration: Integrates with control systems for automated processes and data logging.
