Scales
Scales are gravimetric devices.
In other words, they are devices that measure
the force that gravity exerts on mass.
Scales can be classified as two types:
Differential weighing devices
Integral weighing devices

Belt weigher
Belt weighers permit a continuous weighing of bulk
materials. The bulk material running over the belt is
weighed on a defined measuring section. In the
controller the feed rate is then calculated and
regulated. In feeding mode the belt speed regulated
to provide consistent feed rate. In measuring mode
the belt speed is constant and the mass flow is
measured. The accuracy particularly depends on the
calm tape operation and on as consistent material
allocation as possible.
