Overview General Information on Belt Weighers
2 Overview
2.1 General Information on Belt Weighers
Belt weighers are components designed for installation in user's belt conveyor
systems. The systems are designed and documented so that the user can perform
installation and commissioning single-handedly. However, advanced mechanical skills
and utmost care are required to provide the proper environment for the belt weighers.
Application
Used for continuous acquisition of feed rates and totalized amounts, the belt weighers
are designed for installation in continuously operating belt conveyor systems. There is
a broad range of applications:
Legal-for-trade weighing
Prefeeder control
The rugged design of the system ensures a high degree of operating safety and
availability.
Construction
Various speed transducers (e.g. frequency generators with friction wheel) for
speed measurement (optional)
Weighing electronics
Operating Principle
Belt weighers are designed to acquire continuous material flows of varying strengths.
Load cells are used to acquire the weight of the load on a certain belt section. With
increasing length of this belt section, external influences are loosing importance for the

measuring result. In addition to belt load, a speed transducer measures the belt speed
(up to approx. 6 m/s). The product of the two measured variables results in the current
feed rate. Totalization of feed rate results in the material amount fed.
Accuracy
The stated accuracies assume that the belt weigher is mounted in suitable belt
conveyor systems and that the weighed idler set is installed and calibrated in
accordance with our installation and calibration instructions.

Planning-in Hints (The 10 Rules) General Information
Carefully plan the integration of the weighed idler set into your belt
conveyor system using the 10 rules. This is an important consideration
for obtaining the specified measuring accuracy.
General Information
The stricter these rules are followed, the lower is the risk of adversely affecting
functioning and measuring accuracy of your belt weigher.
The installation, calibration and commissioning instructions for the individual weigher
types detail installation and alignment.
To be observed
Never change belt stringers when using belt conveyors to DIN 22107.
Verify accuracy by check measurements under load. Ensure that the check
amount is at least 10% of the hourly amount fed at nominal feed rate (Inom)
over at least one belt circuit.
Ensure that the location of your belt weigher is fully accessible to installation
work.
Depending on type of weigher, the weighed idler set is equipped with one or multiple
carrying idler sets.

Here, the constancy of the slope is an important consideration for accuracy. With
stationary conveyors, the influence resulting from the slope is considered upon
calibration.

conveyors (e.g. booms), there are two possibilities:

Planning-in Hints (The 10 Rules) Hints for Special Conveyors
To maintain your belt weigher at peak functionality over the entire operating period,
the design of the contact surface in rail joint area is an important consideration. Strictly
observe the following details:
Alignment
Align relevant rail strands and weighing platform rails to 0.5 mm.
Levelling
Make sure the surfaces of weighing platform rails and running rails are
perfectly level. Maximum tolerance is 0.1 mm.
If need be, use thicker shims or grind down the existing ones.
Check to see that chain links run smoothly and feature little wear.
With troughed belt conveyors, watch out for material jammed between
troughs.

Belt Weighers of the BMC type consist of longitudinal beams, cross-beams and 4 load
cells with base plates and measured load application elements. If weigher is mounted
in inclined position, load cells only measure the portion of platform load QB vertically
acting on them. The longitudinal force resulting from the force triangles, as well as the
belt tracking forces, are picked up by the four tie-rods.

Check to see that the speed transducer cable does not affect
the positive contact of friction wheel and return belt and
does not interfere with the rocker spindle.

Enter this value into the weighing electronics in form of a parameter; for details, see
Weighing Electronics manual.
5.1.2.2 Maintenance
Ensure free movement of the rocker joint; if necessary, dismount and clean.
Check friction wheel rubber ring for wear, and replace if necessary.

Speed Transducer (Option) FGA24A Type
The friction wheel is mounted in sealed grooved ball bearings lubricated for
life. If you note bearing damage, replace speed transducer.
When running sensor cable, observe the instructions given at the 'Installation
Instructions' item.
SAFETY HINT:
The speed transducer of the FGA 24 A type is designed for measuring the belt speed
on the belt conveyor tail pulley.

Best mount pole wheel on webs in the belt pulley protected area. Weld or bolt in place.
The pole wheel is equipped with a centre hole d=8mm serving for adjustment to the
required diameter. Ensure min. 20 mm distance from pulley bottom in order to prevent
the pulse quality from being affected.
Mount proximity switch on belt stringers using the mounting angle. The provided hole
pattern allows for universal arrangement; two possibilities are depicted in the figure.
Arrange switch centrally to pole wheel windows. Protect the switch cables from
mechanical damage by using cable ducts.
