Belt Weighing

Introduction

This section of the Ckit Engineering Handbook deals with equipment used to weigh products transported on belt conveyors.

Weighers are supplied by a number of reputable companies and the designs and features offered enable the mass of product conveyed to be determined instantaneously, totalized and recorded. Weighers offer robust, reliable service even in aggressive environments and the degree of accuracy available today has been proven in many occasions.

While there are catalogue-type weighers available which have been developed for the standard range of belt conveyors, weighers can be supplied to specific requirements and tailored to applications where the criteria are unique.
