Weighing Scales for the Cement Industry

A cement plant moves mountains, and it’s paid for every tonne that leaves. Limestone, gypsum, fly ash and coal come in by truck and conveyor, clinker and cement sit in silos, and bulkers and bag trucks go out across the weighbridge. A belt weigher that drifts or a silo nobody weighs turns the monthly stock reconciliation into guesswork.

Hindustan Scale Company (HSCo), Mumbai, has made weighing equipment since 1955. For cement plants and grinding units we supply weighbridges and in-motion weighbridges, conveyor belt weighers, silo and hopper weighing, scales with 4-20 mA and RS-485 outputs for your control system, and the furnaces, sieves and dust samplers used in the plant lab. Tell us where your tonnes stop adding up and we’ll name the equipment that finds the gap.

Where a cement plant weighs, and with what

• Raw material in – weighbridges and in-motion weighbridges for limestone, coal, gypsum and fly ash trucks.
• Conveyors and feeders – belt weighers measure raw mix, coal and clinker flow and totals.
• Silos and hoppers – load cell modules show clinker, cement and fly ash stock.
• Control room – 4-20 mA, RS-485 and relay outputs bring every weight into the DCS or PLC.
• Dispatch – weighbridges for bulkers and bag trucks.
• Plant lab and environment – muffle furnaces, sieve shakers, dust and air samplers.
