Conveyor Scale
Features
- Saves time when loading trucks! Far less shuttling back and forth to a scale to achieve the optimum load weight.
- Adaptable. Can be installed on conveyors with belted chain or flat belts.
- Efficient. Install the system in a conveyor you already own.
- Accurate. Although a conveyor scale cannot provide certified accuracy, a properly installed system will yield accuracies of 1% or better.
- Quick calibration. Quick and simple re-
calibration of "tare" weight when necessary. - Stores data. Displays and save data for individual loads, and keeps running totals for bins (or use for different fields or varieties).
- Reliable. Components are durable and require little maintenance.
- Automatic conveyor shut-
off. With optional control output, the monitor can shut the conveyor off when a pre-set load weight is reached. - Powered by 120VAC or 12VDC.
- Can be customized for special applications. Please contact us with your questions.

By continually measuring the weight of a small section of the conveyor belt, the conveyor scale computes the accumulated weight of product that passes over the conveyor.
The conveyor scale also measures the speed of the conveyor drive shaft, thereby taking into account any variations in conveyor speed.
The quick and simple tare calibration allows the system to subtract out the weight of the conveyor belt, leaving only the net product weight.

Install a conveyor scale (also known as an in-line weighing system) to weigh any product as it is moved on a conveyor to a truck, bin, or pile. The system is simple to install, calibrate, and use.

Weighing platform installed in a conveyor with a flat rubber belt. A section of the floor is modified so that it hinges at one end and rests on load cells at the other end. Any weight that pases over this area is measured and displayed on the monitor.
Weighing system installed in a Haines piler. Load cells support rollers on either side of the belted-chain lead-in conveyor.
Close-up of roller mount. The load cell is mounted to a simple angle bracket. Another angle bracket supports the roller. The system measures any weight on the conveyor as it passes the rollers supported by the load cells.
