A process conveyor belt scale can be used in applications where high accuracy is not required. Applications can include:
- The monitoring of plant performance
- Control of feed rates onto a conveyor
- Control of material feed into a process
These systems typically use a single idler belt scale weigh frame. Accuracies of ±1% to ±3% can be achieved depending on the application. These are the most suited if you need to replace or are looking for a single-idler Thermo Ramsey™ Series 20 Belt Scale System. Please note Dual idler belt scale systems are required for 0.5%. If you need a low-cost solution similar to the Ramsey™ IDEA then our universal “off the shelf” belt scale, is suitable with accuracies of 1.00%-3.00%
.Please check the Belt Scale Installation Guide for ideal locations and conditions suitable for this type of conveyor belt scale.
Depending on the application and material loading on the conveyor, the following models maybe used.
WT1
±1% to ±3%*
Brochure
The WT1 is a lower cost “process” type conveyor belt scale.
- Single idler two (2) load cell belt scale that can be upgraded to a 2 idler belt scale with the addition of a weigh frame.
- Easy installation.
- Ideal for short conveyors.
- Use existing idlers, or an inline weigh quality idler can be easily attached.
- Use with any idler type including flat roll.
- Belt widths 450 mm -1600 mm.
- Mild steel galvanised coating.
- Includes trailing arm, speed sensor, electronic integrator and junction boxes.
- Accuracies of ±1.0% to ±3.0%
WTE1
±1%*
Brochure
The WTE is a “process” type conveyor belt scale specifically designed for applications with relatively low belt loadings, and is ideal for low bulk density materials such as wood chips.
Features
- Single idler, fully suspended, low duty belt scale weigh frame
- Four (4) internal load cells,
- Belt widths from 450 mm to 1200 mm
- Load cell access covers for easy maintenance
- Mild steel galvanised coating (optional stainless steel)
- Accuracies in the order of ±1.0% are achievable over an operation range of 25% to 120% of design capacity
Supplied with:
- Speed sensor
- Selected calibration equipment
- Electronic Integrator
- For the best accurracy we sugest to replacing the existing idlers with weigh quality idlers
WTS1
±1%*
Brochure
The WTS1 is “process” type conveyor belt scale specifically designed for heavier duty applications such as the mining industry.
Features
- Single idler, fully suspended, heavy duty belt scale weigh frame
- Four (4) internal load cells.
- Belt widths from 450 mm to 2400 mm
- Loadcell access covers for easy maintenance
- Mild steel galvanised coating (stainless steel optional)
- Accuracies in the order of ±1.0% are achievable over an operation range of 25% to 120% of design capacity
Supplied with:
- Speed sensor/encoder
- Selected Calibration equipment
- Electronic Integrator
- It is also advisable to replace the existing idlers with weigh quality idlers
- Many Belt Scale applications also require Metal Detectors. Web Tech can also supply these if required.
