Abstract
A first sensor combined to a first storage carrier for the material for detecting vibrations associated with offloading the material and a second sensor for measuring the weight of the material expelled from the first storage carrier.
Claims6
A method for measuring the weight of material, the method comprising:
- monitoring vibrations of an unloading apparatus for an unloading event;
- entering a tare mode on a scale controller connected to a load cell on a storage carrier upon detection of vibrations associated with the unloading event;
- weighing the material;
- continuing monitoring of the vibrations of the unloading apparatus;
- and
- ending a tare mode of the scale controller upon detection of the ending of the vibrations associated with the unloading event.
