Grain Bin Weighing

Load Cell for Bin Weighing Application

Bin weighing systems are essential in industrial and agricultural settings where accurate, continuous monitoring of storage bin or tank contents is required. Whether measuring grains, chemicals, or liquids, ensuring precise load measurements directly impacts process control, inventory accuracy, and operational efficiency. This requires a weighing module that integrates smoothly into existing infrastructure while offering long-term reliability, high accuracy, and protection in harsh environments.

Challenge

  1. Adaptability: Many tanks or bins are already installed and in use, leaving limited flexibility for adding weighing solutions without significant downtime or structural changes.
  2. Environmental Exposure: Outdoor or partially sheltered installations are subject to temperature shifts, moisture, and dust, which can affect sensor accuracy and longevity.
  3. Accuracy Under Load Variability: The system must accommodate large capacities (from 250lb to 20Klb) while resisting side loads and maintaining high measurement accuracy.machine.

Solution

ANYLOAD provides a highly adaptable and rugged solution using the 563YHM7 self-jacking weigh module, paired with the 563YH-23 load cell and J04EP-E/J04ES-E junction box.

  1. The 563YHM7 weigh module allows easy retrofitting: it can be mounted directly to an existing tank leg and jacks the bin itself without the need for external lifting tools.
  2. The 563YH-23 load cell delivers NTEP Class III and OIML C4–C6 accuracy, with optional ATEX and FM-certified versions for hazardous environments.
  3. Designed to resist side loads and meet IP67 standards, the load cell maintains reliable performance even in tough outdoor conditions.
  4. The J04EP-E/J04ES-E junction box simplifies cable runs, supports multi-cell trimming, includes a breather vent for moisture control, and is expandable beyond four cells.

Conclusion

ANYLOAD’s bin weighing module—featuring the 563YHM7 weigh module and 563YH-23 load cell—provides a compact, high-performance solution for retrofitting tanks and bins with accurate, industrial-grade weighing. Its durability, ease of installation, and resilience in challenging environments make it ideal for outdoor or factory applications. For more information, please contact ANYLOAD.
