Silo scale with level control and adjustable load limit settings. The platform measures 400 x 500 mm and features 3 OC outputs, a switch, and a bidirectional RS-232/RS-485 interface. Optional analog output of 4-20 mA or 0-10 V available. The scale not only indicates the current level but also monitors continuous weight reduction, signaling the need to refill the container. With three passive switches and the option to activate visual signals, the scale ensures precise monitoring. It also includes options for acoustic signaling or machine blocking in case of anomalies. Accessories such as a control panel display and GSM modem for SMS notifications are available. Capacity up to 60 kg.
Please consider the dead weight of the container to be monitored when selecting the measuring range. Filling quantity + container weight = measuring range. Zeroing the container weight does not increase the measurement range.

The silo scale is a highly specialized tool designed for level control and load management within silos and industrial containers. This device plays a crucial role in monitoring and optimizing the material flow, ensuring that production operations run continuously and without interruptions.
With a capacity of up to 60 kg and a platform size of 400 x 500 mm, the scale offers a wide measuring area, ideal for containers of varying sizes. The platform's size ensures stability and precision during weighing and material handling, while the load capacity is ample to meet diverse industrial needs.
A distinctive feature of this scale is its adjustable load limit settings, allowing users to configure monitoring parameters according to specific production process requirements. This enables customized management of material levels, helping to avoid overloading or underloading situations.
The scale is equipped with commutated outputs for various operational conditions: OK status, critical level status, emptying deviation, and interruption. These outputs ensure detailed monitoring and timely signaling, allowing for quick intervention in case of issues. For instance, a commutated output can be connected to a visual alert such as a traffic light, providing clear visual signals about the container's filling status.
The bidirectional RS-232/RS-485 interface facilitates easy integration with external management and monitoring systems, streamlining data collection and real-time analysis. This advanced connectivity is essential for optimizing control and synchronization of industrial processes.
For continuous and detailed monitoring, the scale offers the option of an analog output of 4-20 mA or 0-10 V, allowing connection to additional sensors and recording systems. This feature is particularly useful for applications requiring in-depth weight data analysis.
The scale can be installed on a control panel, where an optional display provides clear and immediate measurement data visualization. Additionally, accessories such as a GSM modem for SMS notifications and LAN/RJ-485 interfaces further extend the system's capabilities, enabling remote communication and monitoring.
Another key feature of the scale is the continuous weight reduction control, which allows monitoring of the filling process and detection of any defects in the material flow. This function can be configured to display weight reduction in units such as g/min, kg/min, g/hour, or kg/hour. In case of anomalies, the scale will activate commutation contacts for acoustic or visual signals, or to block the machine, preventing idle operation caused by obstructions and reducing downtime.
Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, this silo scale represents a robust and versatile solution for material level management. Its precision, reliability, and customization capabilities make it an essential component for ensuring production efficiency and process safety.
