CONVEYOR BELT SCALES

cat-conveyor-belt-scales-2022.jpg

WE OFFER TWO TECHNOLOGIES FOR CONVEYOR WEIGHING

  • Electro-Mechanical (E/M) type – which employs load cell(s) to measure the loading on the belt and;

  • Gamma type – which determines the load on the belt by measuring the absorption of gamma rays.

ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SCALES

Electro-Mechanical scales are available in many different formats. All the E/M scales employ strain gauge load cells and differ only in the weigh frame type/design. The weigh frames are available in measurement (weigh) spans from 1 metre through 8 metres and are available in either Standard or Counter-Balanced format.

NON-CONTACTING GAMMA SCALES

Non-contacting Gamma scales provide weighment without the troublesome effects such as; belt tension, alignment, wind etc. The Gamma scales are also extremely easy to install and require very little space, making them ideal for applications where E/M scales cannot fit.

PRODUCTS: ELECTRO-MECHANICAL SCALES

In Electro-Mechanical Conveyor Scales, the weight of material on the conveyor is measured by a weigh bridge which is installed into the conveyor. The weigh bridge incorporates high-accuracy strain gauge type load sensor(s).

The weigh bridges are available in various designs from single weighing idler arrangements, through eight weighing idler types. The weigh bridges are also available in either Standard or Counter-Balanced formats.The conveyor speed is measured by our high-resolution, all digital, PT-500 tachometer.

The Premium scale models have an “On-Board” calibration reference, allowing for easy and rapid checking of the weigh bridge calibration. This calibration reference may be safely operated, either manually or automatically. The Speed sensor may also be equipped with our Cal Check Mechanism, which allows the safe verification of tachometer calibration. The UNIPRO® signal processor (weighing transmitter) used is common to all the scale models.
