Weighting Measuring Tank

Overview

A weighing and measuring tank uses a weighing module and detection instrument to calculate the storage amount of materials. According to the production process and technical requirements, it obtains the high – low level difference signal of materials from the detection instrument. Through signal amplification, it automatically controls the execution components (such as pumps, valves, etc.) at the material inlet and outlet to effectively measure and control the materials. The weighing and measuring tank is characterized by a simple structure, convenient operation, and the ability to realize automatic control. It is suitable for use in occasions where the requirements for material storage and measurement accuracy are not high.

 

The weighing and measuring tank adopts the method of gravity metering and feeding. There is no need to calculate the weight of the liquid. It uses a “Toledo” weighing sensor and a weighing terminal to realize the proportional feeding of liquid and other raw materials. For strict precision inspection, the entire system is controlled by Mitsubishi or Siemens PLC, with touch screen display for operation. The fluctuations of materials during metering are automatically compensated after being calculated in the PLC. The metering accuracy of the system is controlled within 0.5%.

 

The structural types of weighing and measuring tanks are divided into: vertical type with upper and lower heads, vertical type with an upper head and a lower conical bottom, vertical type with a flat cover and a lower conical bottom, vertical type with a flat bottom and a flat cover, horizontal type with double heads, and horizontal measuring tank with a flat head. The products are widely used in industries such as chemical engineering, chemistry, petroleum, metallurgy, pharmacy, printing and dyeing, salt making, and fertilizer production.

Structural Features

A weighing and measuring tank is used to provide quantitative raw materials for batching. The most common measuring tank is of the vertical type with upper and lower standard elliptical heads. A liquid level gauge or a weighing module is installed on the support feet/ears of the tank. This kind of measuring tank can realize manual, automatic, and manual – automatic switching. Full – automatic metering is convenient and accurate, preparing sufficient raw materials at a fixed time and quantity, with a lack – of – material alarm prompt and automatic valve closing when the quantity is sufficient. The structure of the measuring tank is simple but powerful. A multi – functional weighing and measuring tank not only has a metering function but also has stirring and heat – exchange functions, and can realize fully automatic processes such as stirring, liquid preparation, and metering. The measuring tank is made of stainless steel S30408 or S31603. The nozzles on the tank are configured with inlet and outlet ports, cleaning ports, metering ports, etc. according to needs. According to different industries of use, the tank body can be subjected to different polishing treatments, such as pickling passivation, wire drawing treatment, and fine polishing.
