The 220 Silo Mount is specifically designed for the support of tanks, silos and hoppers, making it ideal for indoor or outdoor process control applications when high accuracy weighing is demanded. The Silo Mount is designed to support a uniformly distributed load and is capable of tilting through a maximum of ± 3° from vertical. The Silo Mount forms a compact assembly offering simple installation which is rugged and tolerant of heavy industrial environments. Heavy gauge steel construction provides a rigid, robust load cell mount for high accuracy and prolonged life. An earth strap with fixing bolts is provided. The Silo mount provides a unique jacking support system which allows the mounts to be installed in the raised position without the load cells, this aids the installation, and preventing accidental damage of the load cells. Lift-off protection and an allowance for thermal expansion of the weighing vessel is also incorporated into the mount design.
