For filled tanks or hoppers in agriculture, chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, manufacturing and other process industries, being able to keep good track of the contents of those tanks and hoppers consistently can have a dramatic effect on the success or failure of your business. Failure to accurately weigh your hopper or silo contents may lead to issues like incorrect inventory data, problems with blending quality, overfilling, under-filling, wasted resources, unnecessary reorders and production interruptions. Though several methods for checking tank levels exist, the physical weight measurement solution has inherent advantages over density, level or volume measurement, because weighing result will not be influenced by differences in material density, temperature, viscosity or material aeration. A hopper scale normally consists of a load cell junction box, a weighing controller and multiple load cells, the load cell quantity will be same as the number of pedestals or supporting legs, so that the load cells can be mounted under each leg to support the entire hopper/silo/tank, the junction box then sums up the signal and feeds it to the digital indicator which will be able to display the weight value. Of course, calibration is required before measurement. If you want to have a lean production process with repeatable batches, or improve your weight data collection process, LCS's hopper weighing system provides a perfect solution.
