About Hense Wägetechnik
Hense Wägetechnik GmbH was founded in 2004 by Dieter Hense in Brilon and develops, produces and delivers static and dynamic solutions from weighing technology. The portfolio includes weighing systems for containers, silos, tanks and bunkers, retrofittable retrofit systems, throughflow scales for bulk materials, belt scales for conveyor belts and non-contact microwave flow sensors. In addition to custom solutions, efficient standard systems such as the Safemount, Baby-Safemount, Cleanmount, TLC 95 and T33 weighing modules are offered; the measuring range extends from 100 grams to 1,000 tonnes. The systems are configured and calibrated at the factory and are used in plant engineering, in the chemical, plastics, steel, glass and wood industries, in agriculture and farming, in the food and feed industry and in recycling. Since 2021 the company has been certified to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015; with international representatives in Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, China and Ireland, among others, customers are supplied worldwide.
