The silo scale for containers - level - extraction - monitoring offers the ability to effectively and reliably ensure the supply of a production facility. This silo scale for containers - monitoring can not only monitor the current fill level of the container but also the continuous weight decrease. With the monitoring of the current fill level, the silo scale for containers - level - extraction - monitoring can prompt the machine operator in a timely manner to refill the container. For this purpose, the silo scale for containers - monitoring is equipped with three passive switching contacts (potential-free contacts / optocoupler outputs / OC). One of the monitoring silo scale's switching contacts can be used, for example, for a green traffic light. This switching contact is active when the actual state of the container is satisfactory. If the container reaches a minimum threshold / minimum load, a second switching contact can activate a yellow or red traffic light to prompt the user to refill. The traffic lights are not included in the delivery but can be ordered optionally with the silo scale for containers - monitoring. The second monitoring option of the silo scale is the continuous weight decrease. This function can monitor the filling processes of the machines and report discrepancies in material extraction. In the silo scale for containers - level - extraction - monitoring, a weight decrease per time unit can be set, for example, g/min, kg/min, g/h, kg/h. In case of deviations in material extraction, the silo scale for containers - monitoring will activate a switching contact that can be used, for example, to trigger a siren or traffic light or to initiate the shutdown of the machine. The goal of this monitoring is to prevent production machines from running empty due to, for example, clogged extraction screws, thereby significantly reducing downtime and rework times.
