Inventory Control: Tank and Silo Weighing

Supplier Resource

Inventory Control: Tank and Silo Weighing 1

Tank and silo weighing is one of the most accurate methods for inventory control.  Because the load cells are outside of the tank, it’s perfect for measuring a wide variety of materials: hot, frozen, non-free-flowing, non-self-leveling and more.

This white paper from our supplier, Mettler Toledo, looks at the advantages of gravimetric level control, the design of tank scales and important considerations for design, installation and maintenance.

Our precision measurement team has decades of experience designing and installing tank and silo weighing systems for inventory control.  Contact a measurement expert today to help you accurately control your inventory this way.
