Applications

Reactor tank vessel and hopper weighing

All industries managing bulk goods must control their stock as well as material flows in the manufacturing processes. This concerns the chemical, para-chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, etc. All these industries must weigh their silos, hoppers, reactors, etc.

SENSY offers a complete range of weighing load cells corresponding to these applications. The capacities range from a few tens of kilograms to several hundred tonnes. The accuracy can reach 0.02%. They are designed to operate in the most severe environments from the point of view of corrosion resistance as well as protection against moisture.

In addition, SENSY has developed the original concept of the INSERTGAGE® (model 3300) which, when inserted into the silo structure, converts it into a weighing load cell. Thus, for a marginal cost, this sensor makes it possible to know the weight of the goods stored with an accuracy of about 2%, if the installation conditions are correct (sufficient and homogeneous stress).
