The load cells of required capacity are placed between pedestals and the hopper. Now the hopper is placed on the load cells and the inlet and outlet lines of the hopper are also fitted with suspension bellows (if required) to enhance the performance of the system. If the outlet line (normally at the bottom of the hopper) is not fitted with suspension bellows, then the performance and accuracy of the weighment will be hampered because of continuous interference caused by the pipeline.
