Silo Weighing Systems
Four silo weighing systems were recently fitted to existing granulating silos at Pope’s Woodville plant in SA to automatically warn operators of low product levels in each of the silo weighing systems.
To minimise project costs, each pair of the original eight support legs was modified to share a common loadcell. In total, sixteen low profile PT 10t loadcells were used in the four silo weighing systems for a working capacity of 30t per silo.
The install also included restraining bolts being fitted to the loadcell beams to prevent external forces such as wind from lifting the silos off the loadcells. Accuweigh’s Adelaide branch fitted each silo with a Rinstrum R5000 digital weight indicator with high/low level alarms.
Accuweigh is Australia's largest industrial weighing company withbranches in all mainland states. These silo weighing systems can be retro-fitted to most existing silos with multiple supporting legs.
