Automatic silo scale for grain processing

Enhance your grain handling operations with precision weighing and dosing, ensuring your processing line achieves optimal efficiency while minimizing product loss and maximizing output quality.

Precisely Weighs and Doses Grains and Solids

The Granex Silo Scale MSDT from the Bühler Group is an automatic, discontinuously totalizing open hopper scale designed for precise grain weighing and dosing. Its standout feature is the high precision measurement achieved through excellent quality load cells and a three-point suspension system, ensuring stable weighing cycles. Suited for applications in wheat, rye, corn, and other grains, this scale supports production of end-products such as flour, malt, and processed rice. With a throughput ranging from 80 m³/h to 1600 m³/h, it seamlessly integrates into grain processing lines. The unit’s robust design minimizes maintenance with no lubrication points, reducing downtime and enhancing operational efficiency. Ideal for food and grain processing industries, the Granex Silo Scale MSDT ensures reliable and efficient grain handling in both pre-processing and processing stages.
