Shear Beam Weighing Module for Tanks & Hoppers

• Integrated Weighing Structure: Combines the load cell, load-transfer components and mounting plates into one installation-ready module.
• Shear Beam Load Cell: Provides high weighing accuracy, good repeatability and long-term stability for process weighing applications.
• Reduced Installation Error: Integrated mechanical loading components help minimize weighing errors caused by incorrect load-cell installation.
• Easy Vessel Conversion: Allows existing hoppers, tanks, reactors and other supported structures to be converted into weighing systems.
• Multiple Installation Arrangements: Modules can be configured around different vessel support layouts and structural requirements.
• Industrial Process Integration: Suitable for weighing, batching, filling, inventory monitoring and production-control systems.
• Harsh-Environment Applications: Suitable configurations can be selected according to humidity, corrosion, vibration and operating conditions.
• C8 Controller Option: Can be integrated with a compatible C8 weighing controller for automated weighing and process-control applications.
• Automatic Control Functions: Compatible control systems can support batching, sorting, setpoint control, upper/lower limit alarms and peak hold.
• Project-Based Selection: Capacity, module quantity, material, load-cell configuration and control system can be selected according to the vessel and process requirements.

• Feed storage hoppers
• Feed batching and mixing systems
• Livestock feed preparation tanks
• Mixing tanks and blending vessels
• Industrial storage tanks
• Reaction vessels and reactors
• Silos and material bins
• Liquid ingredient tanks
• Quantitative filling systems
• Automatic batching systems
• Inventory and process-weight monitoring

• Select module capacity according to the vessel dead weight, maximum material load, module quantity and required safety margin.
• Ensure all vessel support points and mounting foundations are rigid, level and capable of carrying the maximum design load.
• Install each weighing module so that the primary load is transferred vertically through the intended loading point.
• Avoid excessive lateral forces, twisting loads or mechanical interference from surrounding structures.
• Use flexible pipe, hose or cable connections where possible to reduce external forces acting on the weighing vessel.
• Ensure piping does not support part of the vessel weight or restrict normal weighing movement.
• Connect multiple load cells through a compatible junction box before connection to the weighing indicator or controller.
• Protect load-cell cables from rodents, sharp edges, excessive heat, chemicals and mechanical damage.
• Complete zero calibration and span calibration after mechanical installation is finished.
• Inspect mounting bolts, load-transfer components, cables and vessel supports periodically.
• Recalibrate the weighing system after structural modification, module replacement or major maintenance.

Q: What is a weighing module?
A: A weighing module integrates a load cell with load-transfer and mounting components so that tanks, hoppers and other structures can be converted into electronic weighing systems.

Q: What type of load cell is used?
A: This product uses a shear beam load-cell structure designed for accurate and stable industrial weighing.

Q: What weighing capacity is available?
A: Capacity should be selected according to vessel dead weight, maximum material load, number of support points and required safety margin.

Q: How many weighing modules are required for one tank?
A: The quantity depends on the number and arrangement of vessel support points and the mechanical design of the weighing system.

Q: Can it be used with feed hoppers?
A: Yes. It is suitable for feed hoppers, batching bins, mixing tanks and other livestock-feed processing equipment.

Q: Can it be connected to an automatic batching system?
A: Yes. The weighing signal can be connected to a compatible process controller such as a C8 controller for batching and setpoint-control applications.

Q: Why are flexible pipe connections recommended?
A: Flexible connections help reduce external pipe forces that can affect the accuracy and repeatability of vessel weighing.

Q: Can the module configuration be customized?
A: Yes. Capacity, module quantity, material, mounting arrangement and control system can be selected according to the vessel and project requirements.
