In-Motion Belt Scale Solutions

Belt scales are the most accurate and efficient way to measure material flow on a conveyer belt and can also be used for product dosing. A belt scale consists of a weigh frame with one or more load cells, a speed sensor and a weigh processor. The weigh processor converts data received from the load cell and speed sensor into a total and weight per hour.

The selection of a weigh frame and speed sensor is determined by the required accuracy, as well as belt speed, inclination and structure of the transport belt.

Rice Lake Weighing Systems offers a broad selection of rugged and accurate belt scales. With six different models to choose from, Rice Lake belt scales provide a solution for nearly every application, including food, recycling, chemical, steel, animal feed and compost production, sand and gravel quarries, and harbor logistics industries.

The CIM series is available in 100 lb x .05 lb or 200 lb x .1 lb capacities, two different sizes, and two different types of indicators. The CIM series features enter and exit photo eyes, weight or zone classification modes, weight output to printer, simple setup and product changeover, average weight sampling, and they are height adjustable ±2 inches. Options include five-zone checking, variable speed controller, tower light with buzzer, alternate motor, and rejectors (takeaway arms to direct “off” weights to a separate area).
