SILO WEIGHING SYSTEMS

SiloWeigh SiloWeigh's secret to success is the unique SILEX sensor. It works like a load cell, with a load cell's stable performance under temperature changes. They can easily be self-installed; every-thing is included in the kit and the detailed manual has color pictures to guide you every step of the way. The display cabinet can house displays for up to five silos. The level is shown as a bar-graph and the weight in tons is shown as a digital display underneath. Calibration is similar to setting a digital alarm clock, using the delivery ticket as the calibration weight. You do not need to empty the silo - all you need is a good estimate of the remaining contents. If you don't want to do the installation yourself, we can do it for you; we have technicians at several locations. We have demonstrated typical accuracies of ±1 to 2% of full scale when all four legs are gauged. Also works with double silos. Optional analog output for each vessel connects to PLCs and computer control systems. Optional 4 programmable relay alarm setpoints per vessel, based on weight values, to power alarm lights or bells. These also have LED indicators on each bar graph. How do I now it will work? Your best assurance is that there are already over 200 successful installations running across North America. Most of these were installed by our customers without any help. SiloWeighs are also running in India, Singapore, China, Australia and Europe. What type of silos does it work on? The Silex sensors can be installed on almost any 4-leg silo. H-beam and O-beam (round) legs are most common, but angle (L-section), square section, S-section have all been successfully gauged. Skirted silos are no problem either. Any capacity of silo can be gauged because the sensor measures stress in the leg, and stress depends both on the weight on the leg and the leg's thickness. If the legs are designed correctly, they have enough stress to be used. We have a successful installation running on two silos of 4000 tons each. Each silo sits on 10 legs of 24" diameter and we installed a Silex sensor on each leg.
SiloWeigh.Net (Local Area Network)
.
With the same hardware as described above, but utilizing the Data Adquisition Unit (DAQ) that handles the signals from the sensors, this system transmit the information though the company local or remote network. Conection between the DAQ and the central office could be through an Ethernet cable or wireless. Local display of weight readings, in Tons or percentages of capacity, can be done though a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, running on any computer in the Local Area Network, to graphically display the bar graphs seen in the illustration. This method of viewing is simple, user-friendly and does not require any special software. We deliver a kit with complete instructions. All required cables are provided and are color coded. Calibration is straightforward, using the weighed deliveries as reference, utilizing screen similar to the one shown. The process is password protected.

SiloWeigh.Net (Local & Remote Internet Connection)
.
The power of the SiloWeigh.Net system is the ongoing connection to the local database or the SiloWeigh.Net database server. The client’s company database is accessible by any web browser (via passwords to ensure total security), enabling the client (cement, concrete or any company) to see all customers’ silo levels, control production and dispatch deliveries accordingly. End users can see their own silos’ status and order directly on-line.
