Dosing and weighing technology

ATEX Silo Weighers.

Silo weighers for applications with additional ATEX requirements. Based on established DoWaTec silo weighing technology, each configuration is designed for the intended potentially explosive environment of the project.

At a glance.

As with the Silo Weigher, the product passes vertically through the weighing system and is weighed. No conveyor belt is required, eliminating belt wear.

The specific ATEX design depends on the product, installation environment and project-specific requirements.

Strongly clumping or non-free-flowing products are generally unsuitable for this weighing principle. Product suitability and the requirements of the intended area of use are considered together.

Machine size and number of weighing lanes are selected to suit the product, target weight and process. The machine shown is an example configuration; customer-specific configurations are possible.

Number of weighing lanes
1–6 Lanes Confirmed technical specification Conditions: The number and configuration are agreed for each project.
Typical target weight range
approx. 100 g–20 kg Tested range Application-dependent value based on experience; not a general or contractual performance commitment. Conditions: Depends on the product, target weight, feeding, machine configuration and process conditions. The specific design is project-dependent; not a general performance commitment.
Cycle rate per weighing lane
approx. 5–20 weighings/min Typical value Application-dependent value based on experience; not a general or contractual performance commitment. Conditions: Depends on the product, target weight, feeding, machine configuration and process conditions. The specific design is project-dependent; not a general performance commitment.
Accuracy / weighing deviation
approx. 0,1–1 % of target weight Typical value Application-dependent value based on experience; not a general or contractual performance commitment. Reference: Respective target weight Conditions: The accuracy actually achievable depends on the target weight, product characteristics and the specific system configuration.

The achievable cycle rate and weighing deviation depend on the product, target weight, machine configuration and process conditions. The specific design is based on your requirements.

Applications & options.

Typical applications

  • Free-flowing powders with additional ATEX requirements
  • Salt, sugar and comparable free-flowing bulk materials where the specific application requires a corresponding design
  • Abrasive, free-flowing products following project-specific assessment

Configurations & options

Infeed and discharge hoppers, sensors, controls and equipment integration are tailored to the project. The specific ATEX configuration depends on the product, installation environment and intended area of use.

Let's develop the configuration for your application.
