Where is weighing technology used?
• When filling bags, barrels, ampules etc. with individual components:

-> Paints, cat food, infusions, airbag capsules, coffee, gearboxes, etc.
• When the end product consists of individual components (batch filling) :

-> Steel alloys, glass, ice cream, chocolate, yoghurt, plastics, emulsions, etc.
• For process monitoring:

-> Material flow control
-> Level monitoring
-> Batch and recipe control

Where is weighing technology used?
• Conveyance and dynamic determination of material quantities:

-> In gravel pits, mines, cement and building material production
-> In waste recycling (paper, PET bottles)
• Determining completeness and quantities:

-> For packages, e.g. wire end sleeves, various plastic bags
containing small parts, washers, bars of soap, toothbrushes, books
-> Commissioning the goods in the logistics area
• For scales requiring official calibration:

-> Wherever products or goods are charged by weight

Level measurement
Siemens propose many technologies

Weighing
Why use this technology?
• Very high resolution and precision
• Measurement with calibration capability
• High measurement reliability, regardless of container shape and volume
• Not contact with material, hence no contamination
• Differences in specific weight are taken into account in measurement
• Long service life
• Good price/performance ratio

Belt scale load cells

Load cell terminology
Excitation The voltage or current applied to the input terminals of a load cell.
Output The signal produced by a load cell, usually expressed in millivolts per volt of
excitation.
Dead Load The weight of the conveyor belt and components of the load supporting structure of
the scale which is to be zeroed out in the weight measuring system.
Live Load The load applied to a scale which is actually being measured by the weighing
system.
Deflection The amount of movement the load cell will deform between no-load and rated load
conditions.
Resolution The smallest change in mechanical input which produces a detectable change in
the output signal.

These types of load cells have been tested for the reaction against horizontal force by output
Bending Beam – Minimal .1mV
Shear Beam – No change
Single Point – Small .3mV
Single Point – Medium .3mV
Ring Type – Minimal .1mV
S Beam – Medium .8mV

Milltronics belt scale load cells
• 17 – 4 pH Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Nickle Pl. alloy steel
• Parallelogram design
• Contain four strain gauges
• Temperature compensated All belt scales supplied with calibration

certificate
• Fully potted (multi-redundant seals)
• 2 mV/V
• 10 VDC

Strain gauge load cells
• A strain gauge is a device for detecting the strain that is produced upon a body or
surface by certain forces.
• The gauge consists of one or more fine wires bonded to a surface of the load cell.
• There can be several strain gauges in a load cell.
• As a load is applied to the cell, the surfaces within the cell become strained causing the
wires of the strain gauges to change resistance.
• The resistance change is proportional to the load applied to the load cell.
A typical strain gauge

Siemens developed a load cell that is not commercially available on the market specifically for belt scales. It
does not react to horizontal forces and is ideal for applications belt scales are used it, as well it is mechanically
optimized for overload protection and reduction of horizontal surfaces for material build up.

MSI, MCS, MMI load cells
Temperature compensated for

–40º to 65º C, and -40 - 150ºF
Operating temperature range is

–50º to 75º C/-58º to 167º F.
Safe overload = 150% FS

Max overload = 300% FS
17-4 PH stainless steel

Super precision, triple beam load cell for MSI
304 SS cover weighbridge.

Parallelogram load cell operation
• The parallelogram design enables the cell to

reject horizontal forces.
• Weight is transferred from the load sensor

(idler) to the load cell (reactor) in the vertical
plane only.
• The mechanical stop provides overload

protection up to 300 percent of rated load cell
capacity.

Design advantages of G4-TBSP
ƒ Encapsulated Strain Gauges provide the

ultimate sealing protection to the sensor
ƒ PC Board provides efficient assembly
ƒ Centrally located placement of gauges
improves performance

Load cell resistance
Typical resistance values are

shown for most load cells.
Wire colors may vary.
Whereas irregular resistance values do

indicate failure, valid resistance readings
do not assure that the load cell is
serviceable. Voltage checks and load cell
compression linearity tests may also help
determine load cell serviceability.

Design advantages of G4-TBSP
ƒ High performance potting materials provide Inner Cover

superior moisture protection
ƒ Multi-redundant sealing techniques improves
sealing performance
ƒ Mechanical protection of sealing material
Potted with silicone gel

Calibration Advantage
“Old School” thinking suggests that we need

to calibrate between 60 – 80 % of full load.
But due to the fact that our belt scales have

no; pivots, bearings, fulcrums, trunnions,
knife edges, friction, moving parts, wear parts
or hysteresis…we have the ability to calibrate
at a much lower percentage 20 – 60 % of full load.
This allows us to provide fewer weights, smaller weights, lighter loading on customers
conveyor structures, less time in calibration process and ultimately lower cost of
ownership to the customer.

BW500 Against the Competition
ƒ Individual load cell connections=diagnostics

ƒ Compact easy to use interface, multi-language

Conveyor terminology

Idlers and pulleys
Carrying idler
Return idler - disc type Tail pulley - fluted type
Idlers support and shape the belt. Pulleys rotate the belt through changes in its travel path.

Speed sensor components
Speed Bend Pulley

Sensor
Conveyor belt construction
Top cover
Thicker than the bottom
cover to protect carcass.
Carcass
Consists of one or more
plies.
Skim coat
Extra layer of rubber
between plies.
Pulley cover
Acts as wear surface
against pulleys and idlers.
While there are numerous types of conveyor belting, the most common
type found on industrial conveyors are multiple ply heavy-duty SBR belts.

Screw type belt tensioners
ƒ Screw adjusted tail pulleys are used on most short conveyors to correct belt tracking.
ƒ On small conveyors and weighfeeders, screw adjusters are also used to manually adjust belt tension.

Automatic belt tensioners
Vertical gravity take-up
Horizontal gravity take-up
The most frequently used automatic belt tensioners are the gravity take-up types.

Vertical gravity take up
The most popular type of automatic belt tensioner is the vertical gravity take up. It is the type preferred for
use in conveyors with belt scales.

Horizontal gravity take up
ƒ The trolley mounted tail pulley is connected by a

cable and sheaves to a weight.
ƒ The trolley and cable sheaves must be lubricated

regularly to assure free movement.

Conveyor belt sag
A properly tensioned belt should have a noticeable sag between idlers of approximately 2% of spacing
when loaded at conveyor capacity.
Principle of operation
The design of all gravimetric belt scales, regardless of manufacture, is based upon the mathematical formula:
LxS=R
Load multiplied by Speed equals Rate.
-Load is expressed in pounds per foot or kilograms per meter of the total weight within the weigh span.
-Belt speed is expressed in feet per minute or meters per second.
-Pounds per foot x feet per minute = pounds per minute.
-Kilograms per meter x meters per second = kilograms per second.

Idlers suitable for belt scales
Flat roll idler
Offset troughed idler
In-line troughed idler Picking idler
Flat roll and troughed idlers are suitable for use with belt scales. Offset idlers may be used if used for all
scale service idlers and are correctly oriented.
Idlers unsuitable for belt scales
Impact idler
Adjustable transition
idler
Spiral catenary
idler
2 to 5 Roll catenary
idler
Belt training idler
Wire rope idler
Idlers that pivot, are not rigid, mount to cable or wire rope and idlers that lack support for the wing roller ends
are not suitable for use with belt scales.

Belt training idlers
The function of a training idler is to redirect a mis-

tracking belt to the center of the conveyor.
Training idlers are higher than adjacent conveyor

idlers and have a center pivot to allow swiveling.
Because lateral forces and changes to belt tension produced within their area of influence will degrade
scale accuracy, training idlers should not be located closer than 40 feet (12 m ) from any scale mounted
idler.

Installation – Belt profile

Idler alignment string placement
Flat Roll Idlers

Scale Idler
Scale Idler
Troughed Idlers
Careful placement of the strings is critical to attaining a close tolerance alignment of the scale service idlers.

Idler alignment
Alignment strings are drawn from the third idler ahead of the scale across all of the weigh area idlers to the third
idler past the scale and tightened to remove all slack.

Belt Scale Alignment
Alignment material- 7MH7723-1KC
contains shims, alignment string,
