Do any of your members of your service have technology which can measure a large stock pile of wheat in bulk, and or other grains? The equipment will give an accurate assessment of the weight of the Stockpile.

The stockpile could be in a bunker or even out in the open air, the alternative is of course to load product on vehicle and take to a weighbridge this could be very time consuming and expensive. I.E. the problem is to measure stockpiles each the same product but of differing heights and dimensions.

Thanks in advance

Greetings,

The only reliable method is to survey and measure said piles to acccount for volume and then calculate weight and mass to either metric or american equivalents for that product as there are standard tables available for same such as the "Pocket Reference Guide" written by Glover found in the lab safety supply catalog or the Ben Meadows catalogs.

Unfortunately you cannot do much with out volume calculations.

Surveying is it the only method and then using the bulk density

Over time, with yr inputs and outputs, U will get a correlation with the stockpile surveys

Cheers

The plane table survey is the only option, as already suggested.

You have to deploy a reputed agency for the survey. This shall be done on a regular basis so that accuracy of data can be optimised in the long run.

QMASTOR can provide a number of technologies to determine the weight of a stockpile of grain, ore, coal or other bulk materials.

For example, laser or GPS surveying for adhoc or monthly / quarterly tonnage determinations or we can provide information systems for stockpile modelling that can provide a raft of information about the stockpiles tonnage / quality balances and also the movements into and out of the stockpiles if you would like to track these also.

Dear Mr John E Sueke,

I understand you want to continously weigh the incoming and outgoing stocks for inventory purpose. If my understanding is correct, the best way is to place the storage container (Silo or bunker) on weighing platform or load cells. The weight of the storage container shall be continously monitered by PLC, or many other type of systems available. You can then judge or record the inflow and outflow.

If you require any other type of solution, or your requirement is other than what I understand, kindly contact me.

Thank you.

Regards.
