SILOWEIGH II Pro – advanced content measuring system with touch screen interface

SILOWEIGH tells you the contents of any silo, feed bin, tank or storage vessel. Better than silo level measurement, SILOWEIGH measures the actual weight of the vessel and contents to give a true picture of the amount on hand.  And it costs less than a set of high-end level sensors.

Visual warning at Reorder and Low silo level, plus audible warning if you need it. As a consequence, you can prevent loss of production and missed deliveries.

• Displays one to six vessels on standard 3.5″ (102mm) or 5.7″ (145mm) display screens.  More than 6 vessels?  Less than 4?  Check our other models here.
• SiloWeigh’s L-Strain sensors are temperature compensated.  They cancel the effects of the structure’s expansion with temperature while measuring the compression due to load.  Typical accuracy ±1 to 2% of full scale when all four legs are gauged.
• Mount the legs on Load Cells for even higher silo and bin weight accuracy (0.1%) (see Applications page).
• All-weather. Sensors, wiring and junction boxes meet NEMA-4, IP66.  You can set up the dust and spashproof industrial touch screen display system in a convenient indoor location.
• Radio connection between silos and display when it is difficult to run a cable.
• No moving parts.  Because of this, expect long life and reliability.

Eliminate the risk of overfilling

Blown filters and the ensuing environmental hazards are a thing of the past. You can warn when filters need changing too.

• For one vessel only, SiloWeigh Basic is the budget choice if you don’t need SiloWeigh II Pro’s features.
• For more than 6 vessels, consider SiloWeigh.Net, handles up to 32 vessels on one Internet display.
• Silo level/bin weight display changes color as alarm points are passed, to emphasize alarm condition.
• Symbols show level at a glance, % full and actual weight or volume in your choice of units (tons, gal. etc.).
• Accepts analog level sensors in place of weight sensors.
• Special calculation handles divided silos and ‘shared-frame’ vessels by measuring each leg separately.  No other manufacturer offers this option, which preserves the full accuracy of weight measurement.
• Add your liquid tanks, level, temperature or moisture sensors for extra value.

Eliminate delivery shortages

Ability to check every delivery, even weeks ago, and measure delivery amounts against the weight ticket. Consequently, puts you in command of the situation . . . More Trend Graph and related features

• Trend graph of readings (see picture below) is zoomable to any time period and calculates delivery amounts.
• Scroll forward or backward in time to see any part; no limit.
• Check hourly and daily usage, shown directly on display.
• Advanced predictive filter eliminates errors caused by rapid weather changes while responding instantly to fast fills and discharges.  No other manufacturer offers even a simple weather filter.  Without it you can expect variations of up to 30% lasting several hours each day.
• Digital connection to transmitters at each vessel, connected by single cable to reduce installation time.

Touch screen operator interface

Use of a touch screen as the operator interface gives many advantages, and at a lower overall cost for 3 or more vessels

• Dust and splashproof NEMA-4 (IP65) plastic wall-mount cabinet.
• CE and UL/CUL certified.
• Programmable digital I/O allows connection to horns, lights etc. and analog outputs connect to control systems.
• Optional memory stick records all values, transferable to Excel sheets for fill calculations etc.
• Connect all 4 sensors separately.  Diagnostic display allows you to bypass a bad sensor until you can replace it.

All systems:

• Whether you need a silo level meter, a tank level monitor, bin weight indicator or silo inventory control, SILOWEIGH is the most accurate system with the most features.
• If you can’t use all six of SILOWEIGH II’s display channels, add  liquid tank volume, temperature measurement or moisture measurement.  They all give you a better ROI.

SILOWEIGH Sensors

SPECIFICATIONS

SILOWEIGH II Pro pairs the L-Strain sensors with a touch-screen display, to measure silo level by weight.  Capacity is up to 6 vessels displayed as bar-graphs or a trend-graph of each individual vessel.  A special display shows weights of past deliveries to detect shortages.
