Tank & Silo Weighing System by Nipro Weitek

Overview

About the Tank & Silo Weighing System

Tank and silo weighing systems provide accurate and reliable weighing for liquid, powder and bulk material storage. Using high-precision load cell technology, they enable real-time inventory monitoring, process control and efficient production management.

Used in feed mills (raw ingredients and batch feed), chemical plants (liquids and powders), food and beverage (ingredient dosing), pharmaceuticals (filling accuracy and batch tracking), cement and concrete (aggregates, fly ash and cement) and oil and edible fats (tank farms).

Applications

Where it is used

Manufacturing

Weighbridge and process weighing data can be integrated with SAP, ERP or Tally for one source of truth.

Steel & Cement

Automated, unmanned weighing with RFID and ANPR keeps queues short and every transaction recorded with images.

Food Processing

Load cell based tank weighing with PLC outputs supports inventory and process control.

Installation

Site & installation requirements

Load cells are fitted under each leg or support of the tank, silo or hopper.
Pipework and connections to the vessel should be flexible so they do not carry part of the load.
The system is calibrated after installation, and outputs are connected to your PLC or SCADA.

FAQ

Questions about this product

Usually, yes. Load cells are fitted under the existing legs or supports. Share the vessel drawing, capacity and support details and we will propose the mounting.

Use 4–20 mA or 0–10 V for a simple PLC analogue input, or RS485 / RS422 / RS232C for digital communication with SCADA and control systems.

Systems are built from 1 t to 100 t.

Most accessories work with standard weighbridge indicators and systems. Share your current weighbridge and indicator details and we will confirm compatibility before you order.

Yes. We serve customers across India from Coimbatore and our branches in Chennai, Tiruchirappalli, Bengaluru and Kochi, and we export weighing systems.
