Installation of Scales for Large and Small Silos

What Is a Stock Weighing System?

Stock weighing systems refer to any type of weighing setup for silos, tanks, or batching systems. Simply put, any storage unit—such as a tank, mixer, or similar container—used to hold materials and requiring weight measurement is considered part of a “stock weighing system.”

Careful design considerations ensure a precise weighing system with proper maintenance capability and stable performance.

The most important factor in classifying weighing systems is understanding how the system will be used, as this influences the choice of load cells. Key considerations include the storage environment, type of material, material weight, number of supports, storage capacity, and more. Taking these factors into account allows for accurate and efficient weighing.

This system is applicable across a variety of industries, including food processing, livestock and poultry, chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and any other industry that deals with storage tanks or reservoirs. Today, many companies and industries have not widely adopted these systems due to a lack of sufficient information and unfamiliarity with their implementation.

Benefits of Stock Weighing Systems

• Real-time monitoring of material weight inside storage units

• Accurate recording of incoming and outgoing material weights

• Reduction of human error and prevention of material waste

• Minimization of errors caused by careless use of external scales

• Control over material input and output based on preset weight

With the advantages of digital weighing systems—whether for material storage or batching—the company provides comprehensive solutions to improve product quality, save energy, and reduce human error.

Features and Capabilities of Stock Weighing Systems

1. Use of Steel or Stainless Steel Load Cells
   Depending on the type of factory and the materials produced, stainless steel load cells are commonly used in food and chemical plants to comply with hygiene standards.

2. Use of Digital Indicator
   Displays the exact weight of materials in the storage unit, with the ability to subtract tare or structural weight after calibration. In this case, only the net weight of the material in the tank is shown.

3. Fully Digital Calibration
   Performed in two ways:

   • Using standard weights

   • Without standard weights (hypothetical method)

4. Control of Material Input and Output
   Based on the weight set on the device via the display.

5. Networking Capability for All Weighing Systems
   Allows data recording in a database and unified system management.

All equipment used in these systems is manufactured in countries including Germany, Korea, France, the USA, and China, and comes with a valid warranty and 10 years of after-sales service.
