Conveyor belt control

Mass flow measurement of bulk solids

To ensure a smooth production process, the bulk solids are fed into the process on conveyor belts or through screw conveyors. The weight of the transported bulk solids must be determined for exact control of the process as well as for business accounting. Mechanical measuring systems are subject to increased wear under the extremely rough operating conditions. Non-contact measurement of the feed rate, however, is wear-free and ensures truly costeffective operation of the plant.

Quantity measurement with WEIGHTRAC 31

WeighTrac is the contactless alternative to mechanical conveyor scales. Mounted on conveyor belts or screw conveyors, this reliable, low-maintenance radiation-based instrument delivers the current flow-rate as well as the summed throughput of bulk solids. WeighTrac can also be retrofitted on existing conveyance systems without great cost or effort. It is completely wear and maintenance-free. The robustly constructed source holder, which contains the radioactive source required for the application, guarantees reliable protection of man and environment.
