Silo Scale

Granex

MSDT
Silo Scale Granex.
World-class weighing.

Application
The Granex MSDT Silo Scale is an automatic, discontinuous,
totalizing, open hopper scale without any jacketing. It can be
applied as a receiving (intake) as well as a transfer and load-
out scale for a variety of products such as wheat, rye, corn
(maize), barley, oats, soybeans, etc. Its throughput capacity
ranges from 80 m3/h to 1600 m3/h.

Features
• High throughputs with excellent weighing accuracy
• High stability thanks to circular design
• Optimal sanitation thanks to minimum dust accumulation
zones
• Easy to service – easy access to all electric, pneumatic,
and electronic units
• User-friendly
• Easy and flexible installation thanks to height-adjustable
fastening elements for suspending or supporting the scale
• Various anti-wear devices for highly abrasive products

Unique characteristics
The Granex MSDT Silo Scale complies with all international
directives (OIML R107, Class 0.2, OIML R76, Class C3) in
terms of accuracy (0.1%), resolution, explosion protection
(ATEX Zone 22), etc. Communication with the process control
system and the available printers is possible through different
interfaces (RS-485 or Profibus DP). In addition, various analog
and digital inputs and outputs are available.

Instead of a feed hopper, it is also possible to select

a transition flange to an existing bin. If no discharge
hopper is needed (transfer to bin), a bottom plate will 8 10
be supplied instead of the discharge hopper.

High throughputs.

Anti-wear devices
Maximum throughputs – even when handling abrasive
products – are easily achieved by the Granex MSDT Silo
Scale thanks to a wide variety of anti-wear devices. These
devices on the one hand protect the scale itself, and on
the other hand they protect the feed elements and the
downstream elements from the strong product flows.

The following anti-wear devices are available:

Standard anti-wear devices

• The special device, made of wear-resistant stainless
steel, in the discharge hopper protects the elements
after the scale
• The dead box and the positioning of the sensors in the
feed hopper ensure that the product will always drop
onto product
• The double-segment gates and the slide gate hoppers
are made as standard of stainless steel offering high
High throughputs
abrasion resistance and good corrosion resistance Excellent accuracy
Optional anti-wear devices Maximum sanitation
• Components in contact with the product with polyure
thane coating with extremely high abrasion resistance Easy operation
and excellent corrosion resistance
• If the product is fed direct from a storage bin into the Low maintenance
bin scale, an appropriate device (relief cone including
transition flange) ensures optimal weight distribution
and weight support of the loads acting from the bin
