Compression Load Cells for Silo & Tank Weighing

ZFA supplies compression load cells from international brands, backed by over 17 years of expe-rience in industrial weighing, for accurate measurement in heavy-duty weighing systems.

  • Silo, Tank & Vessel Weighing: Designed for multi-cell installations beneath silos, liquid tanks, mixing vessels, and batching hoppers to calculate total load.
  • High-Capacity Compression Measurement: Capacities range from 500 kg to 50 tonnes, 100 tonnes, and beyond 200 tonnes per load cell, depending on the model.
  • Weigh Modules & Mounting Kits: Compatible mounts provide anti-tilt and lift-off pro-tection, accommodate thermal expansion and contraction, and may include jacking bolts for maintenance.
  • Compact & Low-Profile Designs: Suitable for installations with limited vertical clear-ance, retrofit projects, and industrial weighing systems with restricted mounting space.
  • Environmental Protection & Accuracy: Depending on the model, features include stainless or alloy steel construction, laser-welded IP68/IP69K protection, and OIML R60 Class C3 certification. Matched rated outputs and mV/V signals support measurement consistency.
  • Junction Boxes & Automation Integration: Compatible systems use summing junction boxes and digital weight transmitters to combine multiple load cell signals and connect with PLC/DCS control systems.
  • Regional Supply & Engineering Support: ZFA supports product selection, calibration coordination, and weighing system integration across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the wider GCC region.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A compression load cell is a force sensor that measures weight under compressive load using a deformable diaphragm or column structure.

    It works by detecting deformation caused by downward force, converting it into an electrical signal for precise weight measurement.

    They are used in silo weighing, tank weighing, hopper weighing, vessel weighing, and other industrial weighing applications.

    Models in the same series have the same rated output, making them easy to replace without major recalibration.

    Price depends on capacity, material, accuracy class, and protection rating. ZFA can provide a quotation based on your application.
