Weigh Modules for Tank and Hopper Weighing
Load cell weigh modules deliver exceptional performance for tank, bin, hopper, or vessel scales, as well as any application requiring legal-for-trade accuracy when the load is applied from above.
Massload Technologies is renowned for manufacturing high-quality weighing solutions, catering to various industrial needs.
Our weigh modules are essential for industries such as mining, oil and gas, OEM, agriculture, and cement/batching, where accurate weight measurement is critical to ensure safety, efficiency, and reliability.
Single Animal Scale Load Bars
Load beams are a good solution for cattle weighing. They consist of two beams that go widthwise (like axles on a car) underneath your platform and penning. Load beams are heavy duty electronic weigh scales available in capacites of 2,000 lbs, 5,000 lbs, or 10,000 lbs pounds. They are excellent livestock scales for do-it-yourself weigh platforms.

Levelling Feet – Free Floating Feet
A levelling foot or free floating foot is the most common method of point loading a single ended load cell. These are threaded into the end of the load cell and used to transfer the weight to the ground.
What is a Weigh Module?
A weigh module is a weighing system that integrates several key components, including load cells, load transfer devices, and installation connectors.
This combination transforms non-traditional structures like hoppers, tanks, vessels, conveyors, and OEM machinery into functional scales.
Utilizing either tension or compression technology, weighing modules offer a versatile solution for converting various industrial elements into accurate weighing systems.
What is the Difference Between a Load Cell and a Weigh Module?
A load cell is a single component that measures force or weight and converts it into an electrical signal.
It is typically used in traditional scales and is essential for obtaining precise weight measurements.
In contrast, a weigh module is a mechanical arrangement to precisely apply load to a specific type of load cell for most accurate and stable reading.
These extra elements are designed to protect the load cell and enhance its performance, ensuring accurate readings even in challenging conditions.
Essentially, while a load cell is the core measuring device, a weigh module is an integrated solution that can transform non-traditional structures like tanks, hoppers, and conveyors into fully functional scales.
