Typical response within one business day · Machine recommendation from our engineers
An in-line flow scale that weighs grain continuously as it passes, for rice mills, grain elevators and ports. Five models handle up to 20,000–100,000 kg/h of paddy (about 22–110 US tons per hour). It is motor-driven, so no compressed air is needed.
Capacities are for paddy at standard moisture. Throughput depends on material density and grain size.
The number in the model name is not the flow rate. If you need more flow than one scale handles, send us the required flow and we will tell you what we can supply.
Is the DCS-LD series the right fit?
Good fit
- Rice mills tracking milling yield between stages
- Intake points checking supplier weights
- Grain elevators and port terminals
- Plants that need batch totals for inventory and process control
- Free-flowing corn, soybeans, wheat, seeds and plastic pellets
Look at another model if
- You need to weigh product into bags: see the DCS-50FE2-B or DCS-50FB1
- You need to blend materials at a set ratio: see the DCS-SZ series
Where it goes in a rice mill
-
Raw intake
Check supplier invoices and record incoming paddy. -
Cleaning
Weigh before and after cleaning to work out impurity percentage. -
Hulling
Track brown rice output and spot throughput drops from wear. -
Milling and polishing
Compare polished rice with brown rice input to calculate yield. -
Sorting and storage
Record rice sent to storage or packing and avoid over-shipment.
We recommend at least three flow scales: after intake, after cleaning or hulling, and after milling before packing.
The weigh hopper sits on three load cells in a sealed chamber. In automatic mode the scale weighs continuously and totals each batch; manual mode jogs the mechanism for cleaning.

To size the scale and give you a price, we need five things:
- Material (for example paddy, milled rice, corn)
- Required flow in kg/h or t/h
- Where in the line the scale will sit
- Power supply (voltage and Hz)
- The system the data should go to (SCADA, ERP or printer)
Our engineers guide installation, calibration and operator training by video call, with the installation manual.
