Bulk bag weighbatching system features
integral tubular cable conveyor
Automated bulk bag weighbatching system meters ingredients into a
Flexi-Disc tubular cable conveyor that transports batches of a specified
weight to downstream processing equipment, dust-free. System's Bulk-Out
BFC series bulk bag discharger rests on load cells that signal a PLC to stop
a vibratory feeder that meters material into the conveyor once a prepro-
grammed batch weight has been metered out. System's conveyor fully
evacuates for accurate batch weights and can accommodate multiple meter
inlets for major and minor ingredients.

Weighbelt handles heavy materials, environmental
extremes without accuracy issues
Model MH weighbelt is built for heavy industry and environmental
extremes without accuracy issues, including feeding coal, limestone, mill
scale, dolomite, iron ore pellets, fluorspar, and coke. Weighbelt can provide
an accuracy of ±0.25 percent in a wide range of applications. Weighbelt's
rotation-based speed sensor measures true belt speed, allowing belt slip-
page or breakage to be immediately detected. Weighbelt features custom
proprietary inlet geometry to ensure uniform material flowrate from stor-
age bins. Weighbelt's weight signal represents only material load with the
dead load (belt and idler) fully mass-counterbalanced.

Weighing system uses capacitance to measure
load, reducing overloading risk
Process control system uses the supplier's digital load cells, instrumenta-
tion, and communications modules that work together for simple imple-
mentation. System uses capacitance to measure the load on the cells,
making the cells less prone to overload and more immune to electrical
noise and signal loss. System's advantages include all-digital readings, an
up to 1,000 percent overload rating, field-reparable and -replaceable cables
requiring no recalibration, and display screens and instrumentation in a
variety of configurations and enclosure types. System allows four separate
scale inputs through the same communication module.
