Conveyor Belt Weighing Systems: Easy Integration, Continuous Measurement!

Belt scales are precise weighing systems designed to measure the instantaneous flow rate and total amount of bulk materials transported on conveyor systems. They are widely used in industries such as mining, construction materials, chemicals, food, and energy. They are an ideal solution for monitoring and recording the flow of powdery, granular, particulate, or lumpy materials.

One of the main advantages of belt scales is their ability to weigh in real time without interrupting the conveying process. This allows businesses to perform accurate measurements without stopping their production lines.

How Does a Belt Scale Work? Monitor Your Production Continuously!

LS Automation belt scales feature a modular structure that integrates into existing conveyor systems. The system consists of a weighing unit equipped with load cells, a precision speed sensor, and an advanced control terminal. As the conveyor runs, materials pass through the weighing unit and weight data is instantly transferred to the display panel.

Smart Control with Touch Panel

The 4.3" touch panel offered by LS Otomasyon enables the system to be managed through a user-friendly interface. Thanks to the advanced PID control, feeding, loading, and all automation processes are monitored and optimized with high precision. This ensures increased efficiency and maximum control over operational processes.

Our LS 2020 Belt Scale is manufactured using CE-certified components.
The weighing accuracy is +/- 1%. (Mechanical errors, vibration effects, and irregular material feeding may affect accuracy.)
All outdoor components are designed for heavy-duty conditions.
Electronic components are housed in an IP65-rated enclosure.
Calibration and usage are user-friendly.
Our belt scale features three unique operating modes not found elsewhere in the world, each with a dedicated interface: Belt Scale, Dosing Scale, Loading Scale.

What Determines Belt Scale Prices?

The price of belt scales varies depending on the type of conveyor belt, the properties of the material being transported, and the number of load cells used. To determine the most suitable solution for your needs and receive a quotation, please contact our engineers.

FAQ

What is a belt scale? A conveyor-integrated weighing system that measures live flow and total tonnage without stopping the line.

Profinet or Modbus to PLC? Siemens Profinet is standard; Modbus RTU/Profibus optional. Site panel and cabling via installation & commissioning.

Gravimetric feeding or truck loading? See our gravimetric belt feeder (dosing scale) and under-silo loading scale.

LS 2020 three modes? One platform supports belt scale, dosing and loading modes with different operator screens — see dosing/loading product pages for scope.
