What is a Silo Under Vehicle Scale? – Precise and Reliable Loading Solution

The under-silo loading scale (vehicle scale) loads trucks or trailers under silos to a target weight with automatic stop and data logging. Used in agriculture, food, cement and chemicals. Related products: belt scale, gravimetric feeder.

How Does the Silo Under Vehicle Scale Work? – Step-by-Step Loading Process

This system operates with load cells integrated at the silo outlet and intelligent weighing indicators. The loading process works as follows:

  • Positioning: The truck is placed under the scale and the system is prepared.
  • Weighing and Loading: The product is transferred to the vehicle according to the predetermined weight criteria.
  • Automatic Stop: The system automatically stops loading when the target weight is reached.
  • Data Recording and Reporting: Weighing information is displayed on the screen and recorded in automation systems if needed.

Features of the Silo Under Vehicle Scale – Accuracy, Durability, and Automation Combined

  • 100% Accurate Measurement: High-precision sensors minimize waste.
  • Durable and Long-Lasting: Made with robust materials suitable for industrial use.
  • Integrated Automation: Compatible with PLC and other control systems.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Developed screen and control panel for ease of operation.
  • Fast and Efficient Loading: Optimizes truck loading processes and saves time.

Display Indicators – Real-Time Data Monitoring and Control

  • Real-Time Weight Tracking: Shows instant weight values during loading.
  • Target Weight Indicator: Displays the pre-set loading amount on the screen.
  • Automatic Cut-Off Notification: Alerts when the system stops upon reaching limits.
  • Time and Date Information: Weighing operations can be logged.
  • System Status Indicator: Shows errors or warnings on the screen instantly.

Advantages of Using a Silo Under Vehicle Scale – Why Choose It?

  • Accurate and Precise Loading: Prevents product waste and reduces logistics costs.
  • Labor Savings: Minimizes manual operations and speeds up processes.
  • Time Efficiency: Automates loading, shortening transportation times.
  • Prevents Overloading: Ensures trucks stay within legal load limits.

FAQ — silo under loading scale (vehicle scale)

Loading scale vs belt scale? Under-silo loading scale stops truck fill at target weight; our belt scale measures continuous flow on conveyors.

PLC integration? Weigh data can tie into plant automation; panel and site work via installation & commissioning.

For gravimetric feeding on process lines see dosing scale / weigh feeder.

Plant integration: Dispatch weighing can feed industrial automation and SCADA production reports.
