Load Cells
Load cells are a versatile solution for bulk material weighing, batching, and inventory monitoring. They can be integrated with silos, bins, grist cases, hoppers, bulk bag stands, tanks, and other vessels to provide accurate weight readings and repeatable material delivery.
Systems can be configured for simple local weight display, high- and low-level inventory monitoring, conveyor cutoffs at defined setpoints, or multi-source batching coordinated through PLC controls. Load cells are available across a wide range of capacities using compression, shear beam, or suspended designs, with options for indoor, outdoor, washdown, and hazardous-location environments.
These systems can support brewing, distilling, food and ingredient processing, pet food, agriculture, livestock feed, plastics, recycling, and other operations where accurate material measurement is important to production and inventory control.
Flowscale Metering Unit
The Agtronix Flowscale is an in-process metering system for weighing free-flowing grain and other compatible granular materials while they are moving. Flowscales are available in multiple sizes and configurations and can be specified where continuous material measurement aligns with the overall process design.
Flowscales can coordinate the startup and shutdown of connected equipment, help reduce bridging or material hang-up, and clear the conveying line during shutdown. They are typically paired with integrated controls and are best suited for applications where continuous measurement supports batching, inventory tracking, recipe management, or process monitoring.
Automation and Integration
Automation can improve repeatability, reduce manual steps, and simplify day-to-day operation. Control systems can integrate weighing, batching, storage, conveying, milling, and discharge equipment so materials are delivered consistently according to recipes, production targets, or process requirements.
From simple start-stop controls and equipment interlocks to fully integrated multi-ingredient batching systems, we can help define an automation approach that fits your operation without adding unnecessary complexity.
Available functions can include material selection, weight setpoints, inventory monitoring, alarms, equipment sequencing, batch records, and operator interfaces tailored to the needs of the process.
Grist Profile Analysis
Dial in your mill and improve extract consistency with on-site grist profile analysis. We can evaluate particle-size distribution and work with your brewing or distilling team to adjust mill settings and process conditions based on the desired grist profile.
We also offer sieves and shakers and standard 8-inch sieve sets through our online shop for ongoing internal testing and mill verification.
