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

In some weighing applications for material tanks, silos, and reaction vessels, we usually recommend using a weighing module. You may have some doubts in your mind: What is the difference between a weighing sensor and a weighing module?

Firstly, the usage scenarios of weighing modules and weighing sensors are different. Weighing modules are generally used for weighing applications in large material tanks and silos. The weighing module is actually a new type of weighing element that combines weighing sensors, load transmission devices, and installation connectors. It can be easily connected to various shapes of mechanical devices, such as vertical tanks, trough tanks, hoppers, etc. In layman's terms. 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 material tank support, the material tank will transform from a simple container for storing materials into a "weighing device". The important component of this' weighing device 'is the weighing sensor.

Compared to weighing sensors, weighing modules have good anti bias 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, and have the following characteristics:

The measurement results are not affected by the shape of the material tank, sensor material, or process parameters.
Can be installed on containers of various shapes and used for retrofitting existing equipment.
Unrestricted by venue limitations, flexible assembly, convenient maintenance, and affordable price.
The weighing module can be installed on the support point of the container without occupying additional space.
The weighing module is easy to maintain, and if the sensor is damaged, the support screw can be adjusted
Lift up the scale body and replace the sensor without dismantling the weighing module.
When choosing a weighing module or weighing sensor, consideration should be given to the actual working environment and working conditions, which have a significant impact on the lifespan and weighing accuracy of the sensor. We can provide you with weighing sensors or modules ranging from 200g to 1200t. If you encounter difficulties in selection, you can contact our engineers to help you choose.
