A belt Weigher was recently commissioned by Accuweigh’s Sydney branch at Cement Australia’s Auburn plant.
The single idler belt weigher is being used to totalise the weights of stone and sand being conveyed at approx. 20-30TPH.
The model MBSX belt weigher is based on a single idler weigh frame using 2 roller vee rollers with a resulting nominal accuracy of between 2-5%. This design belt weigher was deemed to be the most appropriate design for the very steep and short incline measuring only 8 metres in length.
To ensure accurate belt speed measurement, Accuweigh’s belt weighers utilises a belt speed sensor running on the return belt and mounted on the weigher frame with pre-drilled holes. This belt weigher has flexible design configurations making it ideal for simple installation with both weigh modules drilled and bolted on the existing stringer and the weigh roller then clamped to the weigher using U bolts.
The fully floating belt weigher is supported via stainless steel double ended shear beam load cells that require no routine adjustment, eliminating the use of lever arms or pivots, therefore the load cell(s) measure the true mass on the belt which reduces errors and makes calibration simpler. The MBSX features temperature compensated 6 wire stainless steel load cell(s) with overload protection mounted under the weigh carriage protected from harsh environments.
Accuweigh can supply, install and commission belt weighers for all industrial weighing applications and fully backed by eight sales & service branches across Australia.
