Tank, Silo & Vessel Weighing Kits – Complete Load Cell Systems for Industrial Process Weighing
Womag tank, silo, and vessel weighing kits provide everything needed to convert an existing tank, silo, hopper, or process vessel into a precision weighing system — delivering accurate, continuous mass measurement for inventory management, batch processing, level monitoring, and process control. Each kit is configured around high-quality load cells, mounting hardware, and a compatible weight indicator, providing a complete, ready-to-install weighing solution for industrial process environments.
Accurate vessel weighing is essential across a wide range of industries. In chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, precise batch weights are critical for product quality and regulatory compliance. In food and beverage production, accurate ingredient weights underpin recipe consistency and yield management. In bulk material handling, continuous silo weight monitoring enables accurate stock management and prevents costly stockouts or overfills. Our tank weighing kits are designed to meet these demands — with load cells rated for demanding industrial environments including temperature extremes, vibration, and corrosive atmospheres, and mounting hardware engineered for secure, accurate vessel integration. ATEX-certified configurations are available for hazardous area installations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which kit is right for my vessel?
The correct kit depends on your vessel’s maximum gross weight (vessel + contents), the number of support legs or mounting points, the environment (standard industrial, hygienic, or ATEX hazardous area), and your process control requirements. Contact our team with your vessel dimensions, maximum weight, and application details and we’ll specify the correct load cell capacity, mounting configuration, and indicator for your installation.
Can Womag supply ATEX-certified tank weighing kits?
Yes. ATEX-certified configurations are available for Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, and Zone 22 classified hazardous areas, using intrinsically safe (Ex i) load cells, junction boxes, safety barriers, and indicators. Contact our technical team before purchasing to confirm the correct zone classification and equipment category for your installation.
Can the weighing system integrate with our process control or SCADA system?
Yes. Our tank weighing kits include indicators with RS-232, Ethernet, and analogue (4–20 mA) output options for integration with PLC, DCS, SCADA, and ERP systems. Setpoint relay outputs are available for automated filling, dosing, and alarm functions. Contact our team for integration advice specific to your control system.
Can Womag provide calibration for tank weighing systems?
Yes. UKAS-traceable calibration certificates are available on request. For installed vessel weighing systems, in-situ calibration using certified reference weights or substitution methods can be arranged. Contact our team to discuss calibration requirements for your specific installation.
Do tank weighing kits require specialist installation?
Correct installation is critical to accuracy and long-term reliability. Load cells must be correctly aligned, the vessel must be free to move vertically without constraint from pipework or other connections, and the system must be properly earthed. We recommend installation by a qualified engineer familiar with load cell systems. Our team can provide installation guidance and commissioning support — contact us to discuss your requirements.
