Application
Multi-Idler Belt Weighers are used for continuous acquisition of flow rates and totalized amounts. They are especially designed for integration into continuously operating belt conveyors and enable accuracies of up to ± 0.25% to be achieved.
They can be employed for a whole variety of tasks
- Throughput and consumption measurement in production plants
- Accountability of stored and retrieved amounts
- Load limit alarm
- Batching, in load-out stations
- Legal-for-trade weighing
- Prefeeder control
Their rugged design ensures a highde-gree of reliability and availability. Our product range is as varied as the demands of our customers. For Single-Idler Belt Weighers, see separate Spec Sheet BV-D 2049.
Construction
The standard Multi-Idler belt weigher comprises
- Weighing platform for accommodating user's idler sets
- Overload protected load cell(s) with high degree of protection
- Cable junction box for connection of sensors
- All fixing elements required for mounting
For speed measurement, various speed transducers e.g. friction wheel tachometers, are available as options
Operating Principle
Belt weighers are used to acquire continuous material flows of varying amounts. Load cells acquire the weight of load on particular belt sections. The longer the belt section is, the less the measuring result is affected by external influences. In addition to belt load acquired by load cells, belt speed is measured by a speed transducer. The product of these two variables is the current flow rate. Integration of flow rate determines the totalized amount of material
