Stacker Conveyors
Avoid installing the belt scale in any conveyor that is not a permanent structure. Because
stacker conveyors usually vary in incline, elevation, or profile, the accuracy of the belt
scale can be compromised under these conditions. A belt scale can be used effectively in
a conveyor of this type, but it requires special consideration.
Conveyor Trippers
Not as common as a conveyor with a vertical curvature, trippers can still be troublesome
to scales.
Skirt Boards and Sealing Strips
In some applications it is necessary to extend the infeed skirt boards and sealing strips
the full length of the conveyor. This can create problems in weighing accuracy caused by
the effects that the sealing strips exert when contacting the belt and indirectly upon the
idlers, especially where pinching occurs. In particular, this situation adversely affects the
zero calibrations.
Recommendation:
Consult your Siemens Milltronics representative to discuss
using the MCS with stacker conveyors.
Recommendation:
On a conveyor with a tripper car, locate the scale using the
recommendations for vertical curves, but with the tripper fully retracted.
Recommendation:
If possible, remove the skirting in the scale area. If this is not
possible, adjust the skirting to ensure the sealing strip does not put excess force on
the belt or allow pinching of material.
