Flow Scales
Flow scales are industrial weighing systems that accurately weigh bulk grain and granular products in batches during flow. Used in receiving, shipping, stock tracking, and process control, scales integrated with automation help record and report weighing data and track product movements more accurately.
What Are Flow Scales and How Do They Work?
In a flow scale, product is taken into the weighing hopper in defined amounts. When the hopper is full, weight is measured, a record is created, and product is discharged to the next line by opening the bottom gate. The cycle repeats to calculate total product throughput.
Key Features
- Batch weighing of flowing bulk product
- Measurement in receiving, shipping, and process control
- Data transfer and recording capability to automation systems
- Hopper and discharge layout suited to plant capacity
Applications
- Grain receiving and shipping lines
- Silo fill and discharge facilities
- Feed and flour mills
- Port, terminal, and commercial storage centers
Integration with Plant and Automation Systems
The scale works with top feed slide gates, load cells, bottom discharge gates, control panels, and plant automation.
Engineering and Product Selection
Product bulk density, target hourly capacity, batch volume, accuracy requirements, and existing conveying line are evaluated when selecting the scale model.
Frequently Asked Questions
It divides product into sequential batches in the hopper, weighs each batch, and calculates total quantity.
Depending on automation infrastructure, weighing records can be stored, reported, and linked to stock movements.
