Some Definitions:

Material amount per unit time
Z = Totalized amount in kg or t
Q = Measured load
Load on load cells in kg
Measuring Principle:
Material is guided to measuring chute S free from

whirls.
Deflection force acts on load cell L/C whose output
voltage is proportional to flow rate.
INTECONT evaluates signal and computes flow rate
and totalized amount.
