VIB-SMW©
CONTINUOUS SCALE FOR THROUGHPUT CONTROL
OF GRANULES AND POWDERS
The VIB-SMW© is an easy accurate continuous scale for all dry free flowing bulk solids and powders up to 50 tph. A very low overall height ensures a space saving easy installation. The system consists of a hygienic and robust stainless steel measuring section and an electronic evaluation unit.
The scale is practically maintenance-free due to no free moving mechanical parts. The double and direct measured force allows highest measurement accuracy of up to 0.2% independent of variable product streams or flow capacities.

FAQ
What is the VIB-SMW© and what does it do?
VIB-SMW© is an easy, accurate continuous scale for all dry free flowing bulk solids and powders with throughputs up to 50 tph. It provides precise flow metering and throughput control, and is designed for space-saving installation directly into the product stream. The system consists of a hygienic and robust stainless steel measuring section and an electronic evaluation unit.
Which materials can VIB-SMW© handle?
VIB-SMW© is suitable for all dry, free flowing granular bulk solids as well as powdery materials. Typical applications include cereals, pulses, malt, semolina and similar granular or powder products in milling, feed, food and related industries.
What is the maximum throughput capacity of VIB-SMW©?
VIB-SMW© handles throughputs of up to 50 tph (tonnes per hour) for dry, free flowing bulk solids and powders. The measurement accuracy remains at up to ±0.2% across the full range, independent of variable product streams or flow capacities.
How does VIB-SMW© measure throughput?
VIB-SMW© uses a double and direct measured force (impact weighing) principle. The product stream impacts the measuring section and the resulting force is measured directly and twice, ensuring the highest possible measurement accuracy. This method is independent of variable product streams, flow rates, product form or density.
What measurement accuracy does VIB-SMW© achieve?
VIB-SMW© achieves a measurement accuracy of up to ±0.2%. This high accuracy is maintained independently of variable product streams or changing flow capacities, making it reliable across a wide range of operating conditions.
Is VIB-SMW© affected by changes in flow rate, product density or product form?
No. The double-direct impact weighing principle used in VIB-SMW© is independent of flow rate, product form and density. This ensures consistent and reliable measurement accuracy even when product characteristics or throughput volumes vary during operation.
What are the main advantages of VIB-SMW©?
VIB-SMW© offers eight key advantages: precise flow metering and process control; accurate double-direct impact weighing; measurement independent of flow rate, product form or density; space-saving low overall height for easy installation; low maintenance due to no movable mechanical parts; hygienic and robust stainless steel construction; gentle product handling with no breakage or abrasion; and compatibility with both free flowing granular and powdery materials.
Does VIB-SMW© cause any product damage during measurement?
No. VIB-SMW© is gentle to the product — no breakage or abrasion occurs during the measuring process. This makes it suitable for sensitive granular materials such as malt, cereals and other products where kernel integrity is important.
How maintenance-intensive is VIB-SMW©?
VIB-SMW© is practically maintenance-free. The design contains no free moving mechanical parts, which eliminates the main sources of wear and mechanical failure found in conventional weighing systems. This results in high operational availability and very low ongoing maintenance effort.
What does the VIB-SMW© control panel display and control?
The VIB-SMW© control panel with colour touchscreen displays and manages: throughput in kg/h; a counter for pre-selection and totalizing (resettable, with alarms); limit value control with delay timer for minimum and maximum values; graphic registration of up to 72 hours; analogue output 0(4)–20 mA; impulse output; and potential-free contacts for external integration.
Can the VIB-SMW© control panel be installed separately from the measuring unit?
Yes. The control panel with colour touchscreen is designed for wall mounting and can be installed independently from the measuring section. This provides flexibility in positioning the operator interface in the most accessible or practical location within the plant, regardless of where the measuring unit is installed in the product stream.
Does VIB-SMW© support external integration via analogue or digital outputs?
Yes. VIB-SMW© provides an analogue output of 0(4)–20 mA for integration with process control systems, an impulse output for totalizing purposes, and potential-free contacts for external alarm or control circuits. These outputs allow VIB-SMW© to feed throughput data directly into higher-level automation or SCADA systems.
How is VIB-SMW© installed?
The VIB-SMW© measuring unit is mounted vibration-free under a product flow speed brake directly into the product stream. All parameters are factory preset, which minimises commissioning time and effort. The very low overall height of the unit ensures space-saving and easy installation even in constrained plant layouts.
Does VIB-SMW© require on-site configuration or calibration before use?
No extensive on-site setup is required. All parameters are factory preset before delivery, allowing the system to be installed and commissioned quickly. This reduces downtime during installation and minimises the need for specialist setup personnel on site.
What construction materials are used in VIB-SMW©?
The measuring section of VIB-SMW© is constructed from hygienic and robust stainless steel, meeting the hygiene requirements of food and cereal processing environments. The stainless steel design ensures durability, easy cleaning and resistance to the conditions typical in grain handling and milling facilities.
Who manufactures VIB-SMW© and where is it available?
VIB-SMW© is manufactured and distributed globally by vibronet®-Gräf GmbH & Co. KG Cereal Damping Systems, based in Germany. It is part of the vibronet® product family and is made in Germany.
