Does an HSWB capacity refer to one weigh bar or the complete hopper?

The selectable 1,250, 2,500, and 5,000 lb ratings apply to one HSWB assembly. A complete hopper uses multiple support assemblies, and its usable capacity must include the vessel's empty weight and application-specific loading factors.

What is the nominal capacity of a four-assembly HSWB system?

Four equally loaded assemblies provide nominal totals of 5,000, 10,000, or 20,000 lb. Final capacity can be lower after accounting for vessel dead load, uneven loading, wind, vibration, mixers, shock, and safety margin.

How many HSWB assemblies does my hopper need?

The number follows the vessel's support-point design. Many systems use four assemblies, but the structure and load path should determine the final quantity and placement.

Is the HSWB legal for trade?

Yes. HSWB systems can support legal-for-trade applications up to 5,000 divisions when all components are properly selected, installed, calibrated, and certified for the application.

How do I choose between HSWB part numbers?

Select the required per-support capacity first, then choose the cable length and whether a factory-installed connector is needed. We can help confirm the complete system design before ordering.

Is an indicator included with an HSWB assembly?

No. The listed HSWB MPNs are individual weigh bar assemblies. A complete system also requires the appropriate junction, indicator, mounting, cabling, and installation components.

Product Overview

Avery Weigh-Tronix HSWB Suspended-Hopper Weigh Bar

The Avery Weigh-Tronix HSWB is a legal-for-trade suspended-hopper weigh bar available in 1,250, 2,500, and 5,000 lb per-assembly ratings with multiple cable configurations.

The Avery Weigh-Tronix HSWB turns a suspended bin, tank, or hopper into an accurate weighing system with minimal disruption to the vessel. Each single-ended, full-bridge weigh bar is installed in a protected bracket assembly with chain links that accommodate the suspended load.

Choose each HSWB by its individual assembly rating, cable length, and connector requirement. Complete hopper capacity depends on the number of support points, vessel weight, load distribution, and dynamic forces, so final system sizing should be reviewed for the application.

Legal-for-trade performance up to 5,000 divisions.
Individual assembly ratings of 1,250, 2,500, or 5,000 lb.
Nominal four-assembly system capacities from 5,000 to 20,000 lb.
