In today’s industrial world, accuracy, reliability, and stability in weighing are essential for every process that involves bulk material handling. Whether you’re managing powders, liquids, or solid granules, a robust and adaptable weighing system can make the difference between efficient production and costly downtime.
The GL Series Load Cell Module is engineered to deliver uncompromising performance in demanding environments such as hoppers, silos, platforms, and vertical tanks. With its modular design, superior accuracy, and easy installation, the GL load cell has become the preferred solution for industrial weighing automation worldwide.
GL Hopper Tank Silo Batching and Weighing Module
1. Designed for Versatile Applications
The GL load cell module offers outstanding flexibility across a wide range of industrial weighing applications. It has been specifically optimized to perform flawlessly in the following systems:
-
Hopper Weighing: For precise batching and dosing, hopper weighing systems rely on stable load cells that can handle dynamic loads and frequent discharges. The GL module ensures high accuracy even during vibration, temperature fluctuation, or unbalanced loading, maintaining consistent weight readings throughout the process.
-
Silo and Tank Weighing: In industries such as food processing, chemical manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals, silos and tanks are used to store raw materials or finished products. The GL load cell module supports vertical and horizontal load transfer, providing superior resistance to lateral forces. This makes it ideal for both small and large silo systems, ensuring accurate inventory control and process monitoring.
-
Platform Scales: The GL module integrates seamlessly into platform scales used for general industrial weighing. Its compact and rugged design allows it to be used in floor scales, conveyor systems, or pallet scales where reliable and repeatable measurements are essential for production efficiency.
-
Vertical Storage Tanks: When dealing with vertical tanks for liquid or slurry measurement, the GL load cell provides excellent stability and repeatability. The integrated anti-lift protection ensures safety during filling and discharge operations, preventing mechanical stress or overload that could damage the sensor.
2. Key Features and BenefitsHigh Accuracy and Stability
The GL Series is built with precision strain gauge technology, providing exceptional accuracy up to OIML C3 or higher classes. Even under continuous vibration or temperature variation, the load cell maintains consistent output, ensuring precise measurement for automated control systems.
Strong Mechanical Design
Each GL module features a stainless steel or alloy steel construction with corrosion-resistant coating. This ensures long-term durability in harsh industrial environments such as chemical plants, feed mills, or outdoor storage facilities.
Self-Aligning Structure
A self-aligning, rocker-style mount compensates for minor misalignments caused by thermal expansion or structural deformation. This allows the load to be transferred vertically through the load cell, minimizing measurement error and mechanical stress.
Easy Installation and Maintenance
GL load cell modules are designed for quick installation. The preassembled mounting kit reduces on-site assembly time and eliminates the need for complex calibration procedures. The top and bottom mounting plates provide stability during installation, allowing replacement or maintenance without unloading the tank or silo.
Integrated Safety Features
To ensure safe operation, the GL module is equipped with anti-lift and anti-rotation mechanisms, protecting the load cell from damage caused by shock loads or lateral movement. Optional overload protection can also be added to further enhance system reliability.
Wide Capacity Range
The GL Series is available in multiple capacity options, ranging from 500 kg to 50 tons, making it suitable for both small batching systems and large industrial silos. This broad range allows engineers to design scalable weighing systems with consistent performance.
3. Application Industries
The GL Series Load Cell Module is used across a wide variety of industries:
-
Food and Beverage Processing: For ingredient batching, syrup tanks, and mixing vessels.
-
Chemical and Pharmaceutical: For monitoring liquids, powders, and solvents in corrosion-resistant environments.
-
Feed and Grain Mills: For silo inventory control, blending, and material transfer systems.
-
Construction Materials: For weighing cement, sand, or aggregates in batching systems.
-
Industrial Manufacturing: For process automation, storage monitoring, and logistic weighing platforms.
