Silo Weighing System: Complete Guide for Maintenance and Care

In the field of agricultural farming, silo weighing systems are not only an indispensable part of daily operations, but they are also key equipment for ensuring accurate material measurement and safe storage. Whether it's feed ordering or farm management, the stable operation of the silo weighing system is directly related to production efficiency and cost control. This article will provide you with a detailed guide on the maintenance and upkeep of feed bin weighing systems, helping you easily tackle various challenges and ensure long-term efficient operation of the system.


Regular Inspection


The accuracy of the silo weighing system relies on the collaborative work of its components. Therefore, it is crucial to regularly inspect key parts such as sensors, cable connections, displays, and control systems. It is recommended to conduct a comprehensive inspection at least once a month, focusing on signs of looseness, wear, or corrosion, and promptly eliminating potential hazards.


Cleaning and Maintenance


The feed bin environment often comes with adverse factors such as dust and moisture, which impose higher requirements on the cleaning and maintenance of the weighing system. Regularly cleaning the sensor surfaces and the surrounding environment to prevent dust accumulation from affecting weighing accuracy is essential. Additionally, check the waterproof seals to ensure they are intact and prevent moisture ingress that could cause short circuits or corrosion.


Calibration and Adjustment


Over time, the accuracy of the silo weighing system may decrease due to various reasons. Therefore, regular calibration and adjustment are key steps to maintaining system accuracy. Traditional weighing systems require professional calibration at least once a year, using standard weights or calibration devices to verify the system and adjust parameters as needed to ensure accurate weighing results. WitGood™ Intelligent Silo Weighing System can prompt users for electronic calibration based on system operation conditions, significantly saving labor costs and improving farm work efficiency and weighing system accuracy.


Software Upgrade


With continuous technological advancements, the software of silo weighing systems is also continually updated. The WitGood intelligent weighing system for feed bins supports users in remotely upgrading and installing the latest software patches and upgrade packages via OTA. This not only fixes known errors and vulnerabilities but also enhances system stability and functionality. For example, new software version would add advanced features like remote monitoring and data analysis, bringing more convenience to your operational management.
