Single Idler Belt Scale Model MBSX V1

Australian designed from more than 12 years of experience in the design and application of belt weighers.

For simple control applications we offer the single idler MBSX.  The MBSX features two stainless steel double ended shear beams mounted in a simple stringer mounted assembly.  The unit is shipped complete with all mounting bolts, cable junction box and features in built speed sensor option.  The units are stocked at our works and can be dispatched within 24 hrs, with shipping weight less than 25kg.

The Modular Belt weigher system offers a common solution for single idler weighers to highly accurate multi idler weighers.  The modular design allows a common weigher design which suits a wide range of conveyor widths and accuracy requirements and should the requirements change, the weigher can be easily relocated or reconfigured.

The MB series feature a fully floating platform that is restrained against the movement of the conveyor belt by a system of parallel stainless steel leaf springs with require no routine maintenance or adjustment.  The unit features a stainless steel load cell with overload protection mounted under the weigher, protected from falling debris material build up.  The design allows the simple addition of calibration weights, both manually applied to the weigher and stored in convenient test weight receptors, or, for the test weights exceeding 25kg, the calibration weight is applied via lever arm actuation.  As most gantry conveyors only have access walkways on one side, the calibration weigh systems, manual or lever arm only require access from one side.

To ensure the correct application of all our belt weighers please refer to our Application and Installation recommendations for single and multi idlers belt weighers,  TCM0002GB, our contact us to arrange one of our engineers to review your specific application.

Models and Configuration

Features

  • Simple installation
  • Accurate (±1%) and reliable design
  • Stainless steel double ended shear beam load cell
  • Optional jockey wheel speed sensor running on return belt
  • Junction box with spring loaded push in terminals
  • Zinc plated surface finish with all mounting hardware

Application

Belt Weighers are used for the continuous acquisition of flow rates and totalised amounts. Fitted in either new or existing belt conveyors, they can be employed for a variety of tasks:

  • Measurement of production rates in plants
  • Accountability of received and shipped amounts
  • Maximum or minimum load limit alarms
  • Batching, in loading stations
  • Pre-feeder control

The study design ensures a high degree of reliability and availability.

Construction

The standard belt weigher comprises:

  • Fully floating weighing platforms
  • Two double ended shear beam stainless steel load cell(s) of IP56 construction
  • IP65 cable junction box of ABS plastic
  • IP65 Tail drum speed sensor
  • Mounting and adjusting bolts

Options include

  • Weigh quality idler sets with screw adjustment (for precise idler alignment, ± 0.2mm)
  • IP65 Cable junction box in 316 stainless steel
  • Friction jockey wheel running on return belt

Operating Principle

The belt weigher comprises load cells that measure the load on the weigh length while a speed transducer acquires the belt speed. The controller calculates both the instantaneous load and the totalised amount. The MBSX features two stainless steel double ended shear beams mounted on each conveyor stringer. The modular design also results in a lighter construction better suited to the working range of the load cells.
