About the U4000 Hopper scale

The U4000 Hopper scale is a 4-cell built-in weighing system designed for onboard hoppers in marine applications. The system is type-approved and compensates for tilt, motion, and gravity, supporting accurate weighing in rough seas. Size, capacity, and resolution can be adapted to the hopper design and customer needs.

The U4000 Hopper scale comprises a U-shaped load carrier, load cells, a compensation unit, and a U4000 weighing indicator. All our marine scales offer high accuracy, fast weighing, and durable design in stainless steel AISI 316.

The U4000 indicator can be equipped with the uFish application, an interface supporting several weighing functions. The system can be used to weigh a continuous product flow into batches for packing and other purposes.

The uFish interface is easy to use and operated on a touchscreen, displaying selected weighing operations.
