SILO WEIGHING
WHEN A GREAT MEASUREMENT ACCURACY IS REQUIRED
If you seek the greatest weighing accuracy for your silo, the most appropriate solution is placing the silo on top of weighing modules with load cells. PROTEM designs and manufactures special bases for cement silo.
The most complex part of the entire implementation is the base upon which the cement silo is placed. These bases must be designed in such a way, to provide the maximum security against earthquakes and strong winds, without reducing the weighing accuracy.
For the installation the silo must be lifted with a crane, and after that the weighing bases must be placed in the exact same spots where its legs were located. Next, the silo must be carefully be placed and secured on the top flange of the bases. Finally the embedded lift-up protection rods must be correctly adjusted.
