In industrial processing, precise weighing ensures quality, efficiency, and profitability. Hopper weighing is especially important across various sectors, including food processing and chemical manufacturing. However, achieving accurate measurements in hopper systems often presents challenges due to several factors. Loadcells provide a robust solution that enhances hopper performance and addresses common weighing issues. This blog will explore how MTS201 loadcells can improve the accuracy, efficiency, and reliability of your hopper weighing systems, leading to better overall operations. Challenges in Hopper Weighing Before exploring solutions, it’s important to recognise the challenges industries commonly encounter with hopper weighing: Precision: The variety of load sizes and material kinds makes it frequently challenging to obtain accurate measurements. Environmental Factors: Vibrations, temperature swings, and humidity can...
Cattle scales are specially designed to weigh farm animals. They are typically large, heavy-duty scales that can accommodate the weight of a full-grown cow. Many cattle scales also have features that allow them to take measurements such as height and girth, making them a useful tool for cattle farmers and ranchers. They are typically placed in a cattle chute, and the cattle are weighed one at a time. There are two types of cattle scales: platform scales and floor scales. Platform scales use a “platform”, and the cattle are walked onto the platform to be weighed. Floor scales are placed on the ground, and the cattle are herded onto the scale to be weighed. These scales are used to weigh...
Load cells are widely used in many industries because of their accuracy and precision. Many electronic weighing scales now use load cells to weigh various types of objects. Depending on the type of load cell used, it can weigh the smallest pill or even the largest railroad cards. How does load cells work? Load cells are categorised as transducers. Essentially, they convert force into weight outputs. When force is applied, the sensors will transmit the data to the load cells which converts this to electronic data values. The converted data is then sent to the indicators where you can read the weight of the object. To further understand how load cells work, let's discuss each working principle involved in the...
When the harvesting season comes, I’m sure you’re eager to know the much-awaited results of your invested time, money and effort. It is important to know how much crop and livestock yield you have after putting so much care and attention into them. One of the best ways to measure your agricultural yield is with the use of load cells. What are the benefits of load cells in agriculture? 1. Best for Yield Monitoring After months of caring for your crops and livestock, it is best to monitor and measure your agricultural yield. This helps to know how much produce you have for certain seasons and how much you have improved from previous years. In most cases, farmers and agriculturists...
