Flexicon SPL10 x Bin weigher

• Used for precise measurement of bulk materials within storage bins or hoppers.
• Integrated into automated batching systems for accurate ingredient dispensing.
• Monitors inventory levels of raw materials or finished products in silos.
• Provides data for process control and quality assurance in manufacturing.
• Commonly found in food processing, chemical, pharmaceutical, and aggregate industries.

Typical capacity

Bin weighers of this class commonly handle capacities ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes, depending on the load cell configuration.

Load cell type

Units typically utilise strain gauge load cells, often in a three or four-point suspension system for stability and accuracy.

Control system

Commonly features a digital weighing indicator or controller, often with programmable functions for batching, totalising, and data output.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V or 400V AC, for the control unit and any associated peripherals.

Accuracy

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

Integration

Often designed for integration with existing PLC systems, SCADA, or other plant control networks via common industrial communication protocols.

• What is included with a bin weigher?

  A bin weigher typically includes load cells, mounting hardware (such as weigh modules or suspension kits), and a digital weighing indicator or control unit. Cabling for load cell connection is also usually part of the system.

• Can this be integrated with my existing control system?

• What maintenance is required for a bin weigher?

• Is installation complex?

• What factors affect weighing accuracy?

Weighing terminals and load cells are regarded as robust, dependable components in laboratory and pharmaceutical environments. Buyers typically prioritise units with verified calibration history and documentation of maintenance records. The equipment is valued for its longevity and accuracy retention when properly serviced. Key considerations include compatibility with existing systems, sensor condition, and whether calibration certificates are current. Industry practice favours units from recognised manufacturers with established support networks. Used examples generally perform reliably when sourced from well-maintained facilities.
