Principles of a hopper scale.

The hopper scales are designed and constructed to accommodate the demand for optimum operational reliability in modern process industries. With a hopper scale from Jesma it is possible to dose large batches. The hopper scales are designed for quick, precise, and reliable intake- and outloading of material such as grain and animal feed. Jesma’s hopper scales are designed and supplied with a modular construction, securing easy transport and a high degree of flexibility. In addition, the hopper scale can be extended without any mayor rebuilds if it later proves necessary.

Single hopper scale vs. double hopper scale.

The main difference between a single- and a double hopper scale is the possibility to start the weighing of a new charge, before the chain conveyor is empty. The double JesHopper has a higher batch/hour capacity, as the construction allows the weighing bin to be filled while the previous batch is being emptied. To further increase the number of charges/hour the double hopper scale can be divided into 2 or more weighing sections, which allows simultaneous feeding to more weighing sections.

What is a hopper scale?

The single hopper scale is designed and constructed to accommodate the demand for optimum operational reliability in modern process industries. The intelligent modular design allows shipment in modules of the scale during transport, high flexibility, and easy extensions of the scale for future production expansions. The double hopper scale is designed and constructed to accommodate the demand for high batch capacities in modern process industries. The combination of weighing and after-bin allows the weighing of each batch to happen, while the previous batch is being emptied. Together with a strong and well-proven construction the double hopper scale provides market leading batch capacities and gives you a reliable, efficient, and accurate weighing system.

How does a hopper scale work?

Material is filled using dosing devices through the lid of the hopper scale. When reaching the desired amount of material/product, the scale is emptied by the chain conveyor in the bottom of the weighing bin. When the charge is removed from the bin, the next charge can be initiated. The double hopper scale has a higher batch/hour capacity, as the construction allows the weighing bin to be filled while the previous batch is being emptied.
