EMC Belt Weigh feeders

Transport, accurately measure and control the flow of dry bulk materials across a belt conveyor

EMC Weighfeeder

EMC Weighfeeder Systems provide a simple and accurate way to control and measure the flowrate of bulk material passing along a conveyor belt, they are commonly used in production control and blending. Their versatility and reliability make them indispensable in a wide range of industrial settings.

  1. The material is dispensed by a hopper and transported along the driven belt system.
  2. The weight on the weigh section is measured by a high-resolution loadcell.
  3. The ModWeigh processor computes the flow rate based on the weight and measured belt speed.
  4. The flowrate is then regulated to the desired value by varying the speed of the belt. 

Benefits

  • Maintain bulk material flowrates, optimizing the material flow into kilns, dryers, and grinding mills to ensure optimal efficiency and superior product quality.
  • Accurately measuring production rates, enabling precise monitoring of output.
  • Consistent and controlled mixing of materials in continuous blending systems.
  • An excellent solution for batching materials when bin weighing is impractical or unfeasible.

The standard systems include: 

  • 3 idler weigh section, with integrated loadcell 
  • Direct drive sealed Gearmotor 
  • Belt speed via tail drum encoder 
  • ModWeigh MW96A Processor to calculate and control the flowrate (t/hr), etc
