Hopper Weighing System
Description
Hopper Weighing System – Accurate Weighing for Bulk Storage, Dosing, and Process Control
The Hopper / Tank Weighing System by Newton is a reliable and robust solution for measuring the contents of hoppers, silos, tanks, or vessels—whether it’s liquids, powders, or granular materials. Our systems are ideal for applications that require precise level, batch, or inventory monitoring across a wide range of industries including chemical, food & beverage, cement, pharmaceutical, and agriculture.
By integrating high-precision load cells and advanced electronics, our weighing systems ensure real-time, accurate, and continuous weight measurement—eliminating the need for manual level checks or guesswork.
How It Works
The entire tank or hopper is mounted on load cells, which detect the total weight of the container and its contents. This signal is then transmitted to a Microprocessor based Weight Transmitter, which converts it into a readable weight value. The system can also be integrated into PLC, SCADA, or batching systems for automation and control.
