How Much Is Load Cell Downtime Really Costing You?
The most expensive part of a failed load cell isn’t the load cell.
Reduce Downtime. Simplify Sanitation. Improve ROI.
Tank Weighing Systems Designed for Modern Food Manufacturing
When evaluating a tank weighing system, the purchase price is only part of the equation.
The real cost comes later through production interruptions, maintenance, sanitation challenges, and equipment failures that impact your entire operation.
Emery Winslow designs hygienic tank weighing systems that help food manufacturers reduce downtime, simplify washdown procedures, and improve long-term return on investment. Whether you’re processing sauces, beverages, dairy products, meat, poultry, pet food, or other food products, our systems are engineered to perform reliably in demanding production environments.
What this means is that you will recover the cost of the new system in 8.7 months and start saving money from the 9th month onwards.
- Always there when you need it eliminating repair costs and production downtime.
- Increased Accuracy boost productivity enhancing your company's bottom line.
- IP69K washdown protection and sanitary, easy to clean design
- Food, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Manufacturing, Logistics, Transportation and Explosive Environments

Every Minute of Downtime Has a Cost
Replacing a failed load cell is only one expense.
The hidden costs often include:
For many facilities, these costs far exceed the price of the replacement component itself.
That’s why leading food manufacturers evaluate the total cost of ownership—not just the initial purchase price.
Built Specifically for Food Manufacturing
Food manufacturing demands equipment that performs reliably while supporting sanitation and food safety initiatives.
Emery Winslow tank weighing systems are engineered with those requirements in mind.
Hygienic Design
Smooth, cleanable surfaces help reduce areas where contaminants can accumulate, making sanitation more consistent and efficient.
IP69K Protection
Our weighing systems are designed for demanding washdown environments and built to withstand the high-pressure cleaning procedures common in food processing facilities.
No Cracks or Crevices
Thoughtful system design helps eliminate hard-to-clean areas, supporting repeatable sanitation workflows.
Hydrostatic™ Load Cell Technology
Hydrostatic technology provides a reliable weighing solution for demanding industrial applications where uptime and washdown performance are essential.
Engineered for Your Application
Every facility has unique production requirements. Emery Winslow offers multiple tank weighing system configurations based on tank capacity, required resolution, environmental conditions, and production goals.
Why Food Manufacturers Are Investing in Better Weighing Systems
Modern food manufacturing is changing.
Facilities are expected to improve efficiency while maintaining strict food safety standards, reducing labor demands, and increasing production capacity.
According to PMMI, manufacturers continue to prioritize equipment that simplifies integration, reduces manual intervention, and supports repeatable sanitation workflows.
Emery Winslow designs weighing systems with those same priorities in mind, helping manufacturers improve operational efficiency while reducing long-term maintenance demands.
Designed to Support Food Safety Programs
Food safety involves much more than ingredients and cleaning chemicals.
Your weighing systems play an important role in maintaining a hygienic production environment.
Our tank weighing systems feature:
- Facilities pursuing or maintaining SQF food safety initiatives should consider how weighing systems fit into their overall sanitation and food safety procedures. Emery Winslow’s solutions are designed to support those broader operational goals.
Why Hydrostatic Technology Matters
Traditional weighing systems operating in aggressive washdown environments often require ongoing maintenance and replacement over time.
Hydrostatic load cell technology is designed for the realities of modern food manufacturing, where sanitation, uptime, and reliability are critical.
When your weighing system performs consistently, your production line can too.
One Solution Doesn’t Fit Every Facility
Every production process is different.
That’s why Emery Winslow offers three tank weighing system configurations selected according to:
- Rather than forcing your operation into a standard solution, we help determine the system that best fits your facility and production process.

Questions to Ask Before Buying a Tank Weighing System
Not all weighing systems are engineered for demanding food manufacturing environments. Before making an investment, consider these questions:
- How will this system perform during daily washdown procedures?
- Does the design eliminate cracks and crevices that make cleaning difficult?
- What are the long-term maintenance requirements?
- How much downtime could equipment failure create?
- Will the system support your food safety program?
- What is the true lifetime cost of ownership?
- Can the system be configured for your specific application?
