Suitable positions for installing the weighing system on the conveyor belt
🔍 Important Note
Choosing the right location for installing the weighing system on the conveyor belt has a direct impact on measurement accuracy. The installation site must be away from vibrations, impact, and sudden changes in material flow.
10 Golden Rules for Conveyor Belt Weighing
- 1 The installation location should be in the middle section of the conveyor belt, away from loading and discharge points.
- 2 The conveyor belt must be completely straight and free of bends at the weighing location.
- 3 Avoid installing the system near drive pulleys and idler rollers.
- 4 The weighing system must be installed on a structure that is independent and separate from other equipment.
- 5 The system must be calibrated using standard test weights.
- 6 The conveyor belt speed must be constant and stable during weighing.
- 7 The conveyor belt must be completely clean and free of adhered material at the weighing location.
- 8 The weighing system must be protected from external vibrations and impacts.
- 9 Load cell connection cables must be routed through separate pathways, away from power cables.
- 10 The weighing system must be calibrated periodically (at least once every 3 months).
