Calibration Procedure of Belt-weigher System

Dynamic Tare Calibration:

Step 1. Make sure the conveyor belt is at empty condition after that start the conveyor and observe
the load cell and Tacho readings in the sensor Tab of SWC-64(touch screen display) for conveyor
2.1& 2.2 the load cell and Tacho readings are (5.7-6.0 mv) and 272 Hz respectively and for
conveyor 7.1-7.2 the load cell and Tacho readings are (3.8-4 mv) and 192 Hz at empty condition.
Step 2. Once the said values are shown in the display then use the operator password and navigate
the right bottom arrow key to enter the operator menu after that press the right bottom arrow key
until the “Dynamic Tare Calibration” page comes out.
Step 3. Start the Tare calibration by pressing the start button at empty belt running state and wait
for 4-5 minutes to complete the process one the process is completed a message appears in the
same page “Calibration is done press stop to confirm” then stop it to confirm and press ok to save
the values.
Dynamic Weight calibration:
Step 1. Once the Dynamic tare calibration has been done the go for Weight calibration using the
supply check weight (the supply check weight for 2.1-2.2 is 180 kg at each arm 45Kg with frame
and for 7.1-7.2 it is 240 kg at each arm 60 kg to the respective four arm).
Step 2. Now go for Dynamic weight calibration page it is just after the Tare calibration page. Put
the weight in grams including the frame weight e.g. for 2.1 the supply check weight is 180 kg and
the weight of four frames nearly 40 kg so the total weight comes out to be 220 kg now put the test
weight in each arm of load cell (45+10=55 Kg) after giving the load. Start the Dynamic weight
calibration in the running condition of the belt then wait for 4-5 minutes process to be completed
after that a message appears “Calibration is done press stop to confirm” then stop it to confirm and
press ok to save the values.
Step 3. Then observe the Calculated weight if it is near to your load that is 220 kg in case of 2.1-
2.2 then no need of using C.F(correction factor) save the values as it is if it is coming different
(less or more) then use C.F according to formula
𝐴𝑐𝑡𝑢𝑎𝑙 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡
C.F= 𝑠ℎ𝑜𝑤𝑛 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑖𝑛 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑦
for example if the shown weight is 230 kg, then your
220
C. F=230 which is 0.9565, now put that value in the C.F tab using the edit button to the actual
weight then press ok to save it.
 Flow rate Calculation of Belt weigher System
Let us suppose the belt speed is 2.46 𝑚/ sec and the *linear weight is 55 𝑘𝑔/𝑚
Then flow rate = linear weight x belt speed
= 2.46 𝑚/ sec x 55𝑘𝑔/𝑚 =135.3𝑘𝑔/ sec
Flow rate in TPH= 135.3𝑘𝑔/ sec x3.6=487.08 TPH.

*Linear weight= 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡/𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑧𝑜𝑛𝑒 =220𝑘𝑔/4𝑚 =55 𝑘𝑔/𝑚
