Weighing Belt Conveyors

Weighing belt conveyors are integrated transport and measurement systems designed for precise weighing and continuous flow control of bulk materials. They are widely used in cement, mining, food, chemical, plastics, agriculture, and energy industries. These systems optimize production processes by providing high accuracy, automation compatibility, and efficient dosing capabilities.

They allow materials to be weighed while being transported on the belt, ensuring controlled feeding at a predetermined flow rate. With continuous operation, high precision, and low maintenance requirements, they offer significant advantages for industrial applications.

Operating Principle:

1. The material is fed onto the conveyor belt and measured by the weighing unit.
2. Sensors and load cells calculate the real-time flow rate of the material.
3. The conveyor speed is adjusted via a PLC or automation system to optimize material flow.

This system improves efficiency by enabling continuous measurement without human intervention in production lines that require precise weighing and dosing.

Advantages:

• Continuous and accurate weighing: Ensures real-time material measurement during transportation.
• High precision: Prevents excessive material usage, optimizing costs.
• Automation and PLC compatibility: Fully integrates with production lines for seamless control.
• Fast and efficient dosing: Provides reliable measurement at fixed or variable flow rates.
• Low maintenance requirements: Robust construction ensures long-term use with minimal servicing.
• Wide range of capacity options: Adapts to different material types and transport needs.
• Energy efficiency: Delivers maximum performance with minimal power consumption.

Applications:

Weighing belt conveyors are used in various industries requiring precise dosing and weighing:

• Cement and mining: Used for measuring and feeding materials like lime, cement, coal, and minerals.
• Food and agriculture: Manages controlled feeding of flour, sugar, grains, feed, and other bulk food products.
• Chemical and plastics: Weighs chemical powders, pigments, plastic granules, and resins.
• Energy and biomass: Doses and weighs solid fuels, coal dust, and biomass materials.
• Recycling and waste management: Ensures controlled transportation of recyclable materials.

Types of Weighing Belt Conveyors:

• Fixed-speed weighing belt conveyor: Designed for consistent flow rate dosing.
• Variable-speed weighing belt conveyor: Automatically adjusts belt speed based on material flow.
• Multi-weighing belt conveyor: Features multiple weighing systems for blending different materials.
• Hygienic stainless steel weighing belt conveyor: Designed for food and pharmaceutical industries.

Key Factors for Selection:

• Material type: Determines whether the system is suited for granules, powders, liquids, or bulk materials.
• Weighing accuracy: Must align with the required tolerances in the production process.
• Belt width and length: Should match the material’s capacity and flow rate needs.
• Automation compatibility: Ensures seamless integration with PLC control systems.
• Material durability: Essential for handling abrasive substances with special coatings.
• Energy efficiency: Optimized for maximum transport and measurement performance.
