Flexicon SPL10 x Bin weigher

• Used for precise weighing of ingredients in batching processes within food production.
• Suitable for monitoring fill levels in hoppers or bins to ensure consistent product quantities.
• Can be integrated into automated lines for quality control checks on bulk materials.
• Applied in bakeries, dairies, and snack food facilities for accurate material handling.
• Utilised for inventory management of raw materials before processing.

Typical capacity

Units in this class commonly feature load cells ranging from 100kg to 1000kg, with this specific unit indicating 200kg load cells.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard single-phase or three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 230V or 400V.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on the bin or hopper size it is designed to support, but the weighing mechanism itself is usually compact.

Accuracy

For this type of equipment, accuracy is typically high, often within +/- 0.1% to 0.5% of the full scale, depending on load cell quality and calibration.

Control system

Commonly features a digital control unit for weight display, tare functions, and integration with PLC systems, as indicated by the Nova digital control.

Construction materials

Typically constructed from stainless steel for contact parts and painted mild steel for the frame, suitable for food processing environments.

• What is a bin weigher used for?

  A bin weigher is used to accurately measure the weight of material contained within a bin, hopper, or silo. This is crucial for batching, inventory control, and ensuring consistent product formulations in industrial processes.
