Tank Weighing / Hopper Weighing / Silo Weighing is generally accepted to offer the highest accuracy and repeatability when measuring the contents of Tanks, Hoppers, Reactors & Silos.
Our Mounting Assemblies have simplified Tank, Hopper & Silo Weighing Systems but there are many varying factors to consider such as size / type of vessel, support structures, pipe connections, movement during filling, environmental aspects, etc.
Various types of Indicators / Digitizers / PLC Modules can be used for determining the Weight Of the Vessel.
WTC provides the essential specialist advice and products to ensure success.
Vertical Mounting
One has the option of mounting with three load cell of four load cell option. In the case of three load cells the mountings are fixed at 120 degrees and the hopper should be circular.
Horizontal Mounting
One has to mount the hopper with four load cell. In the case a horizontal agitator being present , one will have to use the Dual Link Mounting assemblies to reduce the vibrations.
The number of load cell depends on the number of pedestals on which the tank is mounted. If it is going to be a new installation, then the number of load cells can be changed accordingly but if the weighing system is about to fixed into and existing tank, then number of load cell will be same as the number of pedestals or mounting pillars.
Lower capacity circular tanks can be placed on three load cells but heavy and rectangular / square tanks should be mounted on minimum four load cells for providing suitable support to the tank structure and maximum number of load cells can be depending on the requirement and size of the Tank.
