Custom Weighing Solution for Oil & Gas Applications

We partnered with a leading Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in the Oil & Gas industry to develop a custom weighing solution for a natural gas desander vessel that operates in a harsh environment. We engineered a single-ended stainless steel shear beam load cell system with custom cabling and a custom heavy-duty swivel foot assembly for leveling. This solution gave the accuracy and durability needed for reliable performance in extreme conditions. The OEM faced temperature, pressure, and corrosive environment challenges. Our solution used advanced strain gauge technology and environmental sealing to withstand these conditions. The system also seamlessly integrated with the desander’s control systems which enabled real-time data transfer and monitoring to optimize the desander’s performance and ability to meet industry standards. Through collaboration and design, we solved the challenges and delivered a weighing system that improved the desander’s operational efficiency. This is an example of our expertise in custom industrial solutions. Read the Full Case Study

Massload designs and manufactures complete grain cart scale solutions including rugged load cells for hopper and pintle hitch, scale instrumentation and power conditioners.
Here are some of the main advantages of this application:
Weight Measurement: Load cells are integrated into grain carts to measure the weight of the grain as it is harvested and loaded. This allows for real-time monitoring of harvest yields, which is crucial for optimizing the distribution and storage of grains.
Overload Protection: By monitoring the weight of the load continuously, load cells help prevent overloading of grain carts. This is important for maintaining the safety and longevity of both the grain carts and the tractors pulling them. Overloading can lead to mechanical failures and can also be unsafe on uneven terrains typical in agricultural fields.
Data Collection for Precision Agriculture: The data collected from load cells can be used in precision agriculture analytics. By understanding yield variations across different sections of a field, farmers can make informed decisions about seed planting, fertilization, and irrigation. Furthermore, this data can be used to verify yield monitors on combine harvesters.

In the concrete mixer OEM industry, load cells are essential for ensuring the quality and efficiency of concrete production. Here are some key applications:
Ingredient Measurement: Load cells are used to accurately measure the weight of each component (sand, aggregates, and cement) that goes into the concrete mix. This precision is crucial for maintaining the consistency and quality of the concrete, ensuring that each batch meets specific strength and durability requirements.
Batch Control: By integrating load cells into the control systems of concrete mixers, manufacturers can automate the batching process. This ensures that the correct proportions of materials are used every time, reducing human error and increasing efficiency.
Overload Protection: Load cells provide feedback on the total weight of the mix inside the drum, preventing overloading that can lead to mechanical failures or suboptimal mixing. This not only protects the equipment but also ensures that the mixer operates within its optimal capacity.
Massload offers a range of high quality industrial grade low profile rigid mount load cells for a variety of batch plant equipment including concrete manufacture.
The most popular requests are the low profile rigid mount load cells, including the ML-1200-25,000 lbs/35,000 lbs and the ML-0600-5,000 lbs/10,000 lbs.

In the natural gas desander OEM industry, load cells play an important role in ensuring efficient and safe operations. Here are some specific applications of load cells in this industry:
Accumulation Measurement: Load cells are crucial for measuring the accumulation of solids within the desander. This information is vital for determining when the desander needs to be cleaned or when the accumulated material needs to be disposed.
Overload Protection: Overloads can occur due to unexpected increases in the amount of solids in the gas stream. Load cells can provide real-time data to alert operators if the system is nearing its capacity, which helps in taking preventative actions to reduce the risk of damage or system failure.
Pressure and Flow Monitoring: Load cells can be integrated into the system to help monitor the pressure and flow rates of the gas and sand mixture. By measuring the forces exerted by the mixture on various components of the desander, operators can adjust process parameters to optimize efficiency and prevent blockages or excessive wear.
Quality Control and Testing: During the manufacturing and testing phases, load cells are used to ensure that gas desanders meet the required specifications for handling the expected loads and operational conditions.
Massload offers industrial grade custom load cells, including for hazardous environments, and heavy duty weigh modules for a variety of OEM equipment in the oil and gas industry.

Testimonials

I wanted to pass on a thank-you from my customer EMS-Tech. Specifically to Marc but also to the others at Massload that were involved but I didn't deal with directly. Last fall EMS-Tech bought a pair of custom ML-700s to measure cable tension for the winches that manipulate the loading spout at a grain terminal. All was going well until about 5 weeks ago, when an operator at the terminal bypassed the safety mechanism, overloaded and broke the tension link as well as some other equipment. EMS-Tech has been under a lot of pressure from their customer to put the grain terminal back into service ASAP. Marc & Massload made every effort to ensure that the custom ML-700 was delivered on time as promised. Originally, the ML-700 was to be shipped via UPS Express but when Marc found out that UPS could not guarantee delivery, he hand delivered the equipment to Fedex. This saved at least two days and provided the time needed to configure & calibrate the electronics before handing the equipment over to EMS-Tech for installation and commissioning.

Cost effective, simple to set up product. Excellent support during setup when we tried to set things up different than recommended and needed the details explained so we understood everything that was going on with all the cells so that we would get good readings even though we set it up differently than recommended.

After a few emails and calls to other similar companies went ignored, Massload was very quick to get me a quote and get a system ready. They worked within my budget and helped me get a system for the farm that was a good match for our needs. They even accommodated an out of hours pick up time due to my schedule issues to get the system. The system worked flawlessly out of the box and we are very happy with the service. They will be our first call when we grow into a bigger system.

We purchased a set of axle pads several years ago and they are very accurate and convenient. When one of the load cells failed, ( I suspect operator abuse, truck slamming on the brakes) Ryan in tech support was amazingly patient, professional and helpful in the diagnostic process. He went above and beyond to help us get the problem resolved. Our scale was up and running very quickly and is a very useful tool on our farm again. *Just a side note, the more picky you are regarding the ground work under and ramps leading on and off the pads the more accurate they’ll be. We put a concrete pad underneath them and a level approach and departure ramp for weighing super B’s and are within 10-40 kg consistently of all the other certified scales in our area.
