How it Works


  1. The A4200 or A4600 Weigh-Check Load Cells are installed under the legs of the silo, or base of the silo. The Weigh-Check Load Cell will measure the load as material is loaded into or unloaded out of the silo.
  2. Weight measurements will be displayed on the 1280 Programmable Weight Indicator and Controller, showing the weight for each leg and corresponding to the total weight of the silo. The 1280 also has the ability to perform batching functions, and send results to the customer’s control center.
