Can a Silo Weight Display Gain Weight Without Receiving Product?

It can - and it can also lose weight. However, by partnering with Applied Weighing, these fluctuations can be kept to a minimum. When configured correctly, a load cell system remains by far the most accurate method for measuring silo contents.

When a silo weighing system shows weight creeping up with no deliveries, or dropping when nothing has been discharged, the load cells usually aren't at fault. The cause is normally something else around the silo.

Rigid connections: Pipework, ducting and walkways bolted directly to the vessel can push down on the silo or hold it up. Without flexible connections, the reading can go up or down every time a pipe expands, settles or gets pulled on.

Thermal movement: Sun on one side of a silo, or big swings between day and night temperatures, make the steel expand and contract. without flexible connections this can load or unload the cells, so the weight drifts with the weather in both directions.

Wind and snow loading: Snow on the roof adds real weight. Wind can push down on one side and lift the other, which shows up as false gains or losses.

Build-up and sudden release: Product residue on the internal walls or cone slowly shifts the zero point. When that build-up finally breaks away and is discharged, the silo can appear to "lose" weight it never knew it had.

Mechanical binding: If check rods, restraints or debris bind the mounts, the load cells can't see the true load.

Accurate silo weighing depends on the whole installation, not just the load cell. Good mounting design, flexible connections, regular inspection and correct calibration are what give you data you can trust instead of numbers you have to question.

If your silo seems to gain or lose weight on its own, we'd be happy to help you find out why.

A new world record!

This incredible world record pumpkin, weighing 2,856.8 lb (1,295.8 kg), was weighed at Wargrave Nursery, UK using an Applied Weighing MassDeck weigh scale.

A fantastic achievement by the same grower who held the world record last year!

Trusted Partnerships
Being a weighing partner to OEMs and System Integrators means understanding where your role fits within the wider machine-building and system design process.

At Applied Weighing International, we work closely with OEMs and integrators, supplying high-quality weighing equipment, technical expertise, and specialist support whilst fully respecting and protecting the relationships they have built with their customers.

Many of our customers have their own engineering and service teams. We actively support them through classroom-based and on-site training, enabling their engineers to confidently install, commission, calibrate, maintain, and support systems throughout their lifecycle.

Whether our partners choose to deliver services themselves or draw upon our engineering expertise, we provide support where it is needed:

✔ High-quality weighing components and complete weighing systems built by us, in the UK

✔ Technical support during design, specification, and integration

✔ Classroom-based and on-site training for OEM and System Integrator engineering teams

✔ Optional initial calibration and commissioning by experienced site engineers, often identifying mechanical or electrical issues that, once resolved, optimise overall system performance

✔ Ongoing service, calibration, preventative maintenance, and system health checks

✔ Spare parts support and long-term technical advice throughout the life of the installation

Our role is not to compete with our partners. Our role is to strengthen their offering, enhance customer confidence, and provide the expertise, resources, and support that help them succeed.

We believe the strongest partnerships are built on trust, technical excellence, flexibility, and mutual respect.

That's how we've worked for more than 35 years, and it's how we'll continue to work in the future.

Did You Know?
Aircraft, Bridges and Spaceships rely on the very same technology found in a load cell.

At the heart of every load cell is a strain gauge - often thinner than a human hair - yet the exact same principle is trusted far beyond the world of weighing. On aircraft, it measures the forces acting on wings and airframes. On bridges, it monitors stress and fatigue to keep structures safe for decades. On rockets, it captures the enormous forces of launch, where getting it right is mission critical.

The idea is always the same: apply a force, measure how much a material flexes, and turn that into a precise signal. Whether it's a few grams on a lab balance, hundreds of tonnes in a silo, or the thrust of a rocket engine - it's the same science at work.

So next time you weigh a load, remember: you're using technology trusted to keep aircraft flying, bridges standing and sending a man to the moon.

This week, we were pleased to welcome the UK Weighing Federation (UKWF) to the Applied VWS Group facility in Chesterfield to deliver regulatory training on Trade Approval and Legal Verification of weighing systems.

The programme provided both practical and theoretical insight into the requirements, procedures, and legislation surrounding legal verification, helping to further strengthen our engineers' knowledge and expertise.

At Applied Weighing, we recognise that maintaining the highest levels of technical competence is essential to delivering accurate, compliant, and reliable weighing solutions for our customers. Continuous investment in training and professional development ensures our engineers remain up to date with industry standards, regulations, and best practice.

A valuable and informative day for all involved, and another important step in maintaining the high standards of service and technical excellence our customers expect from the AW team.

Precise Solutions. Exceptional Service.

Waste Monitoring on the Thames
From the River Thames to regulatory reporting, weighing technology plays a critical role in modern waste management.

In collaboration with our sister company Vehicle Weighing Solutions (VWS), our service engineers recently commissioned and calibrated four portable weighing dollies designed to weigh waste containers immediately after they are lifted from barges.

The system combines Type 270 underbody load cells with a Target 260 indicator and dedicated underbody software, seamlessly communicating weight data back to the customer's PLC.

The result? Reliable weight information that helps monitor waste throughput and supports compliance with DEFRA's new Digital Waste Tracking requirements.

A great example of weighing technology delivering real operational and environmental value through the combined expertise of AWI and VWS. Applied VWS – Weigh Stronger together.

Great products are expected. Exceptional service is what keeps customers coming back.
