We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Weighing Systems", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Weighing system handles 500 tonne silo from AV Technology Silo-Weigh, which we summarised at the time by saying "Conventional content measurement methods struggle to provide acceptable data for silos as large as the one at Pilkington's Greengate flat glass manufacturing site". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Weighing requirements for the chemical industry from Applied Weighing International: "Although process weighing for the chemical industry has come along way, the fundamental elements remain the same, says Rod Morgan, Sales Director at Applied Weighing".
 
In July 2007, we covered the news from Applied Weighing International concerning its Cleanmount II weighing assemblies - take a look at Weighing systems improve brewing processes which says: "Cleanmount II weighing assemblies as part of the weighing systems as they are extremely reliable, they are easy to clean and also have simplified installation".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Applied Weighing International, Digital weigher increases production capacity, as well as Weighing system contract signed from Vehicle Weighing Solutions, and Retrofitted weighing system aids stock management from AV Technology Silo-Weigh.
