Fonterra Clandeboye 120t Powder Silos

This project involved the weighing of 3 x 120t milk powder storage silos. Each silo used 4 DSM 3 load cell mounts. Each mount was coupled to a Rinstrum 1203 blind load cell transmitter, allowing the central control system to monitor any vessel settling or unequal weight distribution. Commissioned, levelled and calibrated by us. Milk Powder Silos at Dairy companies throughout New Zealand are fitted with our load cell mounts including Te Rapa, Hawera, Clandeboye, Edendale, and Westland.

Whanagarei District Council needed load cells for weighing their chlorine drums for water treatment. As our Vishay Celtron load cells have a heavy nickel plating, they were ideal for the job. Each 1000kg chlorine drum got 3 x 500kg  SQMB load cell mounts. These were coupled to a load cell transmitter with display.
