|
Gives accurate inventory at low cost |
|
Shows level at a glance |
|
Up to 5 silos in one unit, separate bar-graphs for
each silo |
|
Self-install kit, anyone can do it |
|
Interfaces with BatchTron and RediLink, automates
ordering process |
|
Typical accuracy 2% of full
scale | |
|
|
|
Ready-Mix plant application |
|
Handles all the vessels in a single
location |
|
Can gauge 2 or 4 legs depending on desired accuracy
– 2% accuracy with 4 legs, 5% with 2 legs. You can even add the missing
legs later to increase the accuracy. |
|
| |
|
|
|
Weldable strain gauges on front and back of
leg |
|
More accurate, less costly than bolt-on sensors
(Kistler Morse etc.) |
|
Can use 2 or 4 legs |
|
OK for 6 or more legs |
|
H-beam, O-beam, L-beam or square section
legs |
|
Must have at least 1500 psi stress in
leg |
|
Minimize temperature changes for best
accuracy | |
|
|
|
Choose the location on leg |
|
Grind surface until smooth |
|
Drill cover mounting holes |
|
Weld gauges to leg |
|
Test gauges and connect |
|
All gauges daisy-chained from leg to leg and to bar
graph indicator |
|
Seal gauges and fit cover |
|
Seal cover |
|
Test and calibrate |
|
Kit contains all
materials | |
|
|
|
Strain gauges are more accurate because they are
applied to both sides of leg, cancelling heat-induced
stress |
|
Installation is not physically demanding – anyone
with a steady hand can do it |
|
Bar-graph display is easiest to read and
use |
|
Buy only the features and accuracy you
need | |
|
|
|
Bar graph and digital display reads in tons and
tenths |
|
Optional 4 setpoint relays for alarm
indication |
|
Optional isolated 4-20mA or 0-10 volt analog
output |
|
Up to 5 indicators in same SiloWeigh
cabinet |
|
Simple programming/calibration |
|
Plug-in boards make replacement easy |
|
Does not need empty vessel for
calibration | |
|
|
|
Analog transmitter in place of bar-graph will
interface with batching controllers, PLCs |
|
Digital transmitters also available |
|
Do not use weight indicators that display in lb or
kg. This is too fine – normal drift appears much worse with small
graduations | |
|
|
|
Calibration “block” on input changes less than 1.3
mV removed in 2003, allowing 1-truck calibration on all silo
sizes |
|
Interface to BatchTron/RediLink |
|
Updated manual available online |
|
New model SiloWeigh.Net displays silos on PC
computers in local network |
|
Internet database stores silo data for whole
company, allowing automatic reordering and truck fleet
management |
|
| |
|
|
|
Grain – corn, wheat, rice etc. |
|
Animal feed mills |
|
Breweries |
|
Bakeries and food |
|
Plastics, chemicals |
|
Liquid tanks |
|
Mines, refining |
|
Asphalt storage |
|
Instead of vertical legs, use cross beams in
interconnected frames (consult us) |
|
Do not use for trade |
|
Do not use for batching, bag filling or truck
loading – not enough accuracy | |
|
|
|
Across the world, SiloWeigh has a unique niche in the
market. It has the
highest accuracy at a modest cost; lower than load cells. This plant in Korea is a
typical example. All concrete plants in Korea use some type of silo
indicator. Our dealer, Taeshin, makes concrete plants. These new
silos are 500, 200 and 300 metric tons, fitted with
SiloWeigh. |
