Load Cells
Load cells are a common solution for bulk ingredient weighing and batching. They can be integrated on silos, bins, grist cases, hoppers, and other vessels to provide accurate weight readings, repeatable batching, and improved inventory visibility.
Systems can be configured for simple weight display, conveyor cutoffs at setpoints, or multi-source batching coordinated through PLC controls. Load cells are available across a wide range of capacities using compression or shear beam designs, as well as suspension load cells for hanging applications. Options are available for indoor and outdoor use, including hazardous location ratings when required.
Flowscale Metering Unit
The Agtronix Flowscale is a metering approach for weighing malt in motion. Flowscales are available in multiple sizes and configurations and can be specified when continuous material measurement aligns with the overall process design.
Flowscales can coordinate startup and shutdown of connected equipment to help reduce the risk of bridging or product hang-up and to clear material on shutdown. These systems are typically paired with integrated controls and are best suited for applications where continuous measurement supports batching, inventory tracking, or process monitoring goals.
Automation and Integration
Automation can improve repeatability, reduce manual steps, and simplify day-to-day operation. Control systems can integrate weighing, batching, and conveying so ingredients are delivered consistently according to your process requirements.
From simple start-stop and interlock controls to fully integrated batching systems, we can help scope an approach that matches your needs without adding unnecessary complexity.
Grist Profile Analysis
Dial in your mill and improve extract consistency with on-site grist profile analysis. We can help evaluate your grist distribution and work with you to adjust mill settings and process conditions based on your target profile.
We also offer sieves and shakers and standard 8-inch sieve sets through our online shop for ongoing internal verification.
