What is the difference between a weighing module and a weighing sensor?

In weighing applications for tanks, silos and reactors, we usually recommend that you use a weighing module. You may have some doubts in your mind: What is the difference between a load cell and a load cell?

First of all, the weighing module and the weighing sensor are used in different occasions, and the weighing module is generally used in large tanks and silos. The weighing module is actually a new type of weighing element, which combines the weighing sensor, load transfer device and installation fittings and other components together, and can be very convenient to connect with various shapes of mechanical devices, such as vertical tanks, trough tanks, hoppers, etc. Generally speaking. The weighing module is used in combination with the tank structure to convert it into a "weighing device". When the weighing module is installed at the foot of the tank, the tank changes from a simple storage container to a "weighing device". An important part of this "weighing device" is the weighing sensor.

Compared with the weighing sensor, the weighing module has good anti-biased load performance and limit protection structure, which can ensure the safety, performance and structure of weighing. Weighing modules are widely used in food, pharmaceutical and chemical applications. Weighing modules have the following characteristics:

The measurement results are not affected by tank shape, sensor material or process parameters.
It can be installed on containers of various shapes and can be used to retrofit existing equipment.
Free from site restrictions, flexible assembly, easy maintenance and cheap price.
The weighing module can be mounted on the support point of the container without additional floor space.
The weighing module is easy to maintain, and the support screw can be adjusted if the sensor is damaged
By lifting up the scale body, the sensor can be replaced without removing the weighing module.
When choosing a weighing module or weighing sensor, the actual work place and working environment should be considered, which has a great impact on the service life and weighing accuracy of the sensor. Can provide you with 200g-1200t weighing sensor or weighing module, if you encounter difficulties in selection, you can contact the engineer for your selection.
