Weighing hoppers
A weighing hopper measures the material it contains to control batches, dosing or transfers. WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS modernizes hopper weighing so quantities are monitored and controlled reliably.
A weighing hopper is only as good as its load cells and their mounting. When the hopper is suspended or supported incorrectly, or the electronics drift, the indicated quantity no longer reflects reality.
WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS uses Siemens PLCs and Siemens weighing modules to rebuild the weighing and control. We keep the reusable mechanics, modernize the control/electronics, and at project end the programs, backups and documents are handed over to the client.
The hopper often drives a sequence: fill, reach target, discharge. We tune the control so this sequence runs cleanly and the operator always knows the state of the hopper.
Yes, the structure is reused when sound; the intervention targets the weighing and control.
Yes, calibration is included in the modernization.
Yes, the modernized control can sequence fill, target and discharge.
