Some Definitions:
I = Feed rate in kg/hr or t/hr

Material amount discharged from belt
per unit time
O Z1 = 1500 kg
I= 100 kg/h
Z = Delivery rate in kg or t
Material amount fed out = feed rate x feed time
V = Belt speed in m/s
Q = Belt load in kg/m

Material weight on one belt meter
Measuring Principle:
Belt load Q and speed V are continuously measured

and multiplied. L/C = Load cell for acquisition of belt load Q
The result is feed rate I used to determine delivery
rate. D = Speed transducer
I in kg/hr S = Belt circuit sensor for automatic belt

Q in kg/m influence compensation BIC
V in m/s (non-standard)
Measurement techniques: 24 V = Power supply
n Precision AC voltage amplifier with continuous V = Speed transducer
correction of zero point and range
Q = Load cell
n Highly resolving analog-to-digital converter
The integrated method is designed to efficiently ANALOG= Analog output selectable for feed rate,
suppress line voltage interferences. belt load, belt speed
n 16-bit microcontroller SERIAL = Serial interfaces for printer and host
computer
n Unlimited storage of counter readings,
configuration and calibration data. MIN = Relay output for limit value monitoring
Open = MIN value exceeded down

MAX = Relay output for limit value monitoring

Open = MAX value exceeded up
Feed rate, belt load, or belt speed, can be
monitoring separately for excess of MIN
and MAX values.
FAULT = Relay output for alarms

Open = Alarm
FULL = Relay output for full feed in batching

mode
Closed = full feed
DRIBBLE = Relay output for dribble feed

Closed = dribble feed
MOTOR = Control output for belt drive

Closed = ON
PREF. = Control output for prefeeder

Closed = On
RELEASE Release signal for totalization

= H = Release
ON/OFF = Start scale and totalization.

High = ON
OFF = Stop
Low = STOP
COUNTER= Pulse output for connection of external

totalizing counter
For simple measuring tasks, with constant belt speed,

speed transducer D can be omitted.

4 Operating Principle
A belt weigher is designed to continuously weigh the Belt Speed:

material amount transported on a conveyor belt.
A further measure for feed rate is belt speed v,
Belt Load: acquired with the use of speed transducer D and
translated into a corresponding pulse frequency.
The material is guided to a weighing platform If belt load is constant and more approximate

load excerts a force on load cell (L/C).
The deflection for measurement is 0.2 mm. The
weighed idlers are connected with the frame structure,
e.g. with the use of a leaf spring parallel system. Feed Rate:
INTECONT normalizes physical units kg/m and m/s.

Multiplication of the two values results in feed rate I.
I in kg/s
v in m/s
Q in kg/m
QB in kg

I in kg/h:
Proportional to platform load, the load cell output I in kg/h

The translation of load ratio into platform length has

For weighing platforms equipped with multiple

weighed idlers, factor 1/2 is different.
Belt load in kg/m is thus:

VBW INTECONT PLUS
Therefore, a high accuracy can normally be ensured

only over entire belt circuits, i.e. over the mean value.
INTECONT is able to acquire and correct this
influence with the use of a belt circuit sensor and a
metal belt mark.
This considerably increases the scale’s short-term
accuracy.
To enable variations to be considered during
operation, the belt influence is continuously
measured. The compensation adaptively follows up,
also if material is fed.
Measurement at the point of discharge (CPD):
0 Start batch and conveyor belt.
1 Abort batch

2 resume at any time.
3 Reduce belt speed, change over to dribble feed.
4 Stop conveyor belt.

not directly located at the point of material discharge.
Therefore, if belt load varies, the feed rate measuring

rate at the point of discharge. Control via prefeeder:
