Accurate weight monitoring is a critical requirement in industries where bulk materials are processed, stored, or transported. A tank weighing system for hopper weight measurement provides a reliable and precise method to determine the exact weight of materials inside tanks, hoppers, or silos, ensuring consistent production quality and effective process control. This type of system is commonly used in food processing, agriculture, construction, chemicals, and pharmaceutical industries, where knowing the precise material level is essential for both safety and efficiency.

A typical hopper or tank weighing system is composed of three or four weighing assemblies, a junction box, and a weight indicator. The weighing assemblies, also known as weighing modules, are strategically mounted beneath the hopper’s support legs or saddle plates. These modules bear the entire load of the vessel and convert the applied force into an electrical signal. The junction box collects and sums up the signals from each load cell, transmitting the combined data to the weight controller. The controller or indicator then provides a real-time weight display, giving operators instant visibility into the actual contents of the hopper or tank.

Forsentek offers a wide range of weighing modules with capacities ranging from 220 kg to 100 tons, making the system adaptable to both small-scale and heavy-duty industrial applications. These modules are robust, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, and capable of handling demanding environmental conditions. Typical applications include milk tank weighing, concrete tank weight measurement, hopper weighing for bulk solids, fermentation tank monitoring, and process or level control.

By integrating Forsentek’s tank weighing system, companies can achieve accurate weight measurement, reduce material waste, automate filling and batching processes, and ensure compliance with quality standards. Whether used for continuous level monitoring or precise batch control, this system provides an efficient and dependable solution for hopper and tank weight management in a wide variety of industries.
