Bin/Tank/Hopper Weighing System

Bin/Tank/Hopper Weighing System from Rifa Engineers Pvt. Ltd. are specially designed to provide accurate weight measurement in storage and batching applications. A hopper bin tank content loadcell & indicator system is used to measure the weight of material stored inside a hopper or bin tank—commonly for powders, grains, cement, chemicals, plastics, or liquids.

Product Details

A Load Cell Based Weighing System is used to measure the weight of materials stored in Hoppers, Bins, Silos, and Tanks with high accuracy and reliability. It is widely used in industries like cement, food, chemicals, pharma, steel, and batching plants.

What is a Hopper / Bin / Tank Weighing System?

It is a system where Load Cells are installed below the structure (Hopper / Tank / Bin) to continuously measure the weight of stored material. The load cells convert mechanical load into electrical signals, which are processed by a Weight Indicator / Controller to display weight in Kg / MT.

Main Components

  1. Load Cells (Compression / Shear Beam Type).
  2. Mounting Assembly (Top & Bottom Plate, Anti-lift arrangement)
  3. Junction Box
  4. Weight Indicator / Controller
  5. Cables & Hardware
  6. Optional PLC / SCADA Integration

Types of Load Cells Used

  • Compression Load Cell (for heavy tanks & silos)
  • Shear Beam Load Cell (for medium capacity bins)
  • Double Ended Shear Beam (for high accuracy & heavy capacity)

Working Principle

  1. Material fills the hopper/tank.
  2. Weight is transferred to load cells.
  3. Load cells generate millivolt signal.
  4. Indicator converts signal into digital weight.
  5. Display shows actual weight.
