Solutions and Applications
Siemens has been active in the weighing technology sector for more than 50 years, and can offer you an optimum solution for continuous or discontinuous weighing and batching applications. Since a wide variety of weighing applications are to be found in industrial production sequences, reliable recording of weights is of decisive importance for optimisation of the process costs and quality.
Silo, Platform and Hopper Scales
Weighing silos, vessels or platforms for level monitoring. Certified legal for trade as NAWI as well as for weighing in hazardous areas. The comprehensive SIWAREX electronics properties and functions can fulfil all requirements.
A single channel for one scale and two-channel two independent scales set-up.
A versatile, legal for trade weighing module for all simple weighing and force measuring tasks.
A weighing module for the distributed I/O system – an ideal solution for small and medium automation systems.
For enhanced diagnostics and monitoring options in conjunction with SIWAREX WP weighing electronics.
Silo and Platform Scales: For small loads, road vehicle, bin, bucket and raw material.
In the various branches of industry the use of platform scales is bound to very different requirements: The SIWAREX WP321, and WP231 are equipped with various weighing functions to measure the weight values quickly and reliably, In addition digitally filters the weight measurements, perform calibration and zeroing of the scale.
Hopper Scales: For liquids, powders, solids and gases.
Detection of precise levels of stored materials. Signalling any exceeding of programmed limits (minimum/maximum) via process alarms.
In almost every industry, liquids, powders, bulk goods or gases are produced and stored in funnels or vessels. To ensure their availability, the exact fill levels of these vessels must be known. SIWAREX WP321 and WP231 ensure measurements to be registered and processed in the automation system as fast as possible and without errors.
Dosing / Filling/ Bagging Scales and Checkweighers
Typical requirements in many industries are high-precision mixing and dosing, and packing and filling at high speed. The corresponding SIWAREX electronics offer comprehensive properties and functions that fulfill all requirements – including for legal-for-trade operation.
The dosing process used in production operations depends on a variety of factors: Depending on the type and quantity of materials weighed, different dosing systems and weighing processes are required. It must be possible to fill liquid or solid goods quickly and precisely.
For many demanding weighing applications, such as producing accurate mixtures, ensuring precise filling, bagging, checking, totalizing and dosing

Filling, sack filling and big bag machines according to OIML
Large resolution and high accuracy for highest demands
The filling of solid or liquid goods, like cement must be completed quickly and accurately.
With a large resolution, high accuracy, and fast switching of batching signals, the SIWAREX WP351 and WP251 weighing electronics satisfy the highest demands.
Furthermore, seamless integration into the SIMATIC automation landscape offers a variety of additional advantages such as simple scalability.
High reliability for complex dosing processes
Precise dosing of components
Successful, high quality products depend on precise dosing of components. High quality measuring equipment ensures precise dosing. The highly accurate and reliable range of load cells from Siemens satisfies these demands.
The functionalities provided by the SIWAREX load cells and electronics allow you to achieve exceptionally good dosing results, especially where exact dosing of single or multiple components is indispensable.
SIWAREX WP351 and WP251 are weighing electronics designed specifically for dosing. They provide coordinated functions and software for controlling coarse and fine flows, emptying, and further dosing functions. Due to SIWAREX’s high scalability and integration in SIMATIC, it is easy to automate single or multiple dosing units with one SIMATIC automation station.
Belt Scales and Solids Flowmeters
Typical requirements in many industries are high-precision mixing and dosing, and packing and filling at high speed. The corresponding SIWAREX electronics offer comprehensive properties and functions that fulfill all requirements – including for legal-for-trade operation.
The dosing process used in production operations depends on a variety of factors: Depending on the type and quantity of materials weighed, different dosing systems and weighing processes are required. It must be possible to fill liquid or solid goods quickly and precisely.
A versatile and flexible weighing module for belt scales, loss-in-weight feeders and solids flowmeters.
Belt weighing: Simple installation and low maintenance requirements
Milltronics belt scales from Siemens combine simple installation and low maintenance requirements (no moving parts) with high repeatability. The result is high productivity. Due to the unique load cell design lateral forces have no influence on the measuring accuracy. All load cells are protected against overloading.
Installation of the belt scales in hazardous areas is also possible as an option. Versions are available for high accuracy, light loads, and high load-bearing capacity.
Weighfeeders Continuous control of the material flowrate
Our weighfeeders make a significant contribution toward optimization of your production sequences. The intelligent systems continuously measure the load on the belt and the belt’s velocity, from which they calculate the current delivery rate. They compare the quantity actually measured with the set point and appropriately control the belt velocity.
The SITRANS weighfeeders from Siemens include a weighing bridge, velocity sensor, and transmitter. The highly sensitive load cells from Siemens provide a very high accuracy when weighing, and thus optimize mixing operations and production processes. The practically maintenance-free design is a guarantee for maximum performance.
All versions are also available with corrugated edge belt or K10 edge profile. The size and width of the belt are tailored according to the requirements of the application.
Solids flowmeters: Accurate and repeatable results for critical applications
These heavy-duty, low-maintenance, LVDT type or Load Cell type solids flowmeters provide continuous in-line weighing of dry bulk solids, freeflowing powders, or granular material.
All models produce accurate, repeatable results and may be used for critical functions such as batch load-out and blending. Safe overload protection is a standard feature. All models are totally enclosed and dust-tight, and are constructed of painted mild steel. Stainless steel and hazardous area versions are also available.
Force / Torque Measurement
Typical requirements in many industries are high-precision mixing and dosing, and packing and filling at high speed. The corresponding SIWAREX electronics offer comprehensive properties and functions that fulfill all requirements – including for legal-for-trade operation.
The dosing process used in production operations depends on a variety of factors: Depending on the type and quantity of materials weighed, different dosing systems and weighing processes are required. It must be possible to fill liquid or solid goods quickly and precisely.
The optimal solution for fast measurements for sensors based on strain gauge full bridges.
Transmitter for strain-gauge sensors: Force and torque measurement with highest accuracy
The analog input module AI 2xSG HS is a high speed – high resolution transmitter for connecting strain-gauge sensors used to measure force and torque. The compact ET 200SP module is an easy to install wiring solution for all SIMATIC and SIMOTION automation systems. Complete data access to the current measured values is then possible via the SIMATIC or SIMOTION. As a result of its exceptional measuring properties, bidirectional force can be measured at high accuracy.
