Belt Weighing System

13/07/2012 - A Belt Weighing System was recently commissioned to totalise the weights of stone and sand being conveyed at Cement Australia’s Auburn plant.

Accuweigh's model MBSX Belt Weighing System is based on a single idler weigh frame using 2 roller vee rollers with a resulting nominal accuracy of between 2-5 per cent.  The single idler design was deemed to be the most appropriate for the very steep and short conveyor incline measuring only 8 metres in length.
 
Supplied by Accuweigh's Lansvale branch in Sydney, the single idler Belt Weigher is conveying materials at speeds up to twenty to thirty tonnes per hour.
 
To ensure accurate belt speed measurement, Accuweigh's Belt Weighing System utilises a belt speed sensor running on the return belt and mounted on the weigher frame with pre-drilled holes.  
 
The flexible design configurations makes this Belt Weighing System ideal for simple installation with both weigh modules drilled and bolted on the existing stringer and the weigh roller then clamped to the weigher using U bolts. 
 
The fully floating Belt Weigher is supported via stainless steel double ended shear beam load cells that require no routine adjustment, eliminating the use of lever arms or pivots, therefore the load cell(s) measure the true mass on the belt which reduces errors and makes calibration simpler. 
 
The MBSX Belt Weighing System features temperature compensated 6 wire stainless steel load cell(s) with overload protection mounted under the weigh carriage protected from harsh environments.
 
Accuweigh can supply, install and commission belt weighers for all industrial weighing applications and fully backed by eight sales and service branches across Australia providing superior product support.
