Calibration of the Weighing Bearing

using the Handheld PHT

-- without check weights --
 this presentation is a standard procedure to calibrate
the weighing bearing for rotor feeders
the shown parameters and calibration figures are examples only
and may be slightly different for each individual plant

for actual parameters please refer to the corresponding

backup files and data sheets
the weighing bearing is NOT available for the coal feeder DRW
the weighing bearing is used for e.g. slow turning feeders
to control the infeed of the rotor
in this way fluctuations of the rotor load may be avoided
 the weighing bearing can also be calibrated with check weights
since this weighing device will only control the load in the feeder
small deviations will not influence the accuracy of the feeding system

for calibration with check weights refer to the corresponding presentation

 ATTENTION

due to a better overview of a full page display instead of a one line display
it is recommended to use a Laptop and Hyper Terminal
to carry out this calibration
 2 additional load cells are installed
between the bearing on the infeed side
and the suspension
to carry out a calibration the following preconditions are required

> feeder must be completely empty

> feeder must not be running

> slide gate between Rotor and silo must be completely closed

> equipment must be in manual or local mode
