Product Specification

A silo weighing system normally consists of three or four load cells, each with a weighing module, a junction box and a weight indicator or transmitter. The weighing module ensures that the correct amount of vertical force is applied to each load cell, preventing it from being affected by non-vertical forces and ensuring repeatability of its signal output. The junction box joins the wires from the individual load cells in a watertight manner and averages the millivolt (mV) signals from the load cells to create a combined mV value that is sent to the input terminals of the weight indicator or transmitter with the minimum possible level of electrical noise. This, in turn, will have several communication options to send the weight to a PLC or PC.
