Belt Weighing System

A Belt Weighing System (also known as a belt scale or conveyor belt weigher) is used to measure the mass of material moving along a conveyor belt. It is commonly used in industries like mining, cement, aggregates, and bulk material handling, where precise measurement of continuous flow of materials is critical.
Key Components of a Belt Weighing System:
Conveyor Belt: The belt that transports materials continuously.
Weighing Idlers/Load Cells: Special weighing idlers (rollers) placed under the conveyor belt that are equipped with load cells to measure the weight of the material on the belt. The load cells generate a signal proportional to the load on the belt.
Speed Sensor: A sensor that measures the speed of the conveyor belt. The speed, combined with the weight, helps calculate the mass flow rate (amount of material per unit of time).
Integrator (Controller): The control unit that takes signals from both the load cells and the speed sensor, integrates them, and calculates the flow rate and total weight of the material passing on the belt.
Display/Interface: Shows real-time data like current flow rate, cumulative weight, and speed of the conveyor belt.
