A belt weigher is used to determine the mass of the material transported on a conveyor belt. The weight of the material transported is determined by weighing the belt load and measuring the belt speed. The belt speed remains constant while the feed rate is regulated by varying the belt loading if required.

How does a belt scale work?

Conveyor belt scales weigh the material and determine the rate at which material travels on a conveyor belt over a specific period of time. ... Once the static weight is measured, the integrator incorporates the weight with the speed at which the belt is rotating to calculate the rate of mass per time.

What is a conveyor belt scale?

Belt scale conveyers are an important part of most bulk material handling facilities. A belt conveyor scale system monitors raw material feed to crushers, mills, screens, preparation plants, and coal-fired power plants to help ensure precise feeding of process materials and maintain product quality.
