Other Weighing Systems
When do Weighing Systems make sense? In many process vessels, storage tanks and silos, precise content detection is a particular challenge. Classical measuring systems such as hydrostatic sensors, potentiometric probes, or radar often have their limitations. In some application environments, they are not precise, fast or flexible enough, not practical for technical reasons or not economical.
This is especially the case with:
Process vessels with agitator. Here, sensors that protrude into the medium cannot be installed. The amount of substance is often in motion, creating dynamic shear forces. In such containers, precisely dosed and dynamically added ingredients must also be measurable and controllable in high precision while the process is running. Closed stirring systems often work with negative or positive pressure.
Ingredient exchange containers such as those used for yogurt mixing, which are freely movable. For connection reasons, but also for cost reasons, these cannot be equipped individually with level sensors.
Horizontal tanks. Here, a small change in fill level already causes a significant change in volume; likewise, inherent movement (sloshing) of liquids can make measurement by level sensors difficult. Load cells give more reliable results here.
Tanks for bulk material, in which a surface measurement can be faulty due to irregular mass distribution (formation of piles, funnels, rat holes, etc.). In such tanks or silos, classic continuous level probes are often also not possible due to their size / probe length.
