1.10 Electronic weighing system

Information on the gravimetric (i.e., weighing) system
This symbol indicates that there is important information for
gravimetric operation since this manual contains both information
for gravimetric and volumetric operation. In contrast to volumetric
feeders, gravimetric feeders use calculated weights and the
feedback from the controller for precise dosage of bulk materials.
Workmen’s qualifications for electronic weighing systems

n Work on electrical installations must only be carried out by
qualified personnel.
WARNING: Welding can damage weighing equipment.

n When welding, place the minus pole directly on the welding
point to protect load cell(s)

1.11 Noise / hazard from noise

WARNING: Noise restricts communication and it can impair
hearing in the long term.
Take the appropriate actions to protect workers’ hearing
depending upon the locally defined noise pollution levels.
Depending upon the bulk material, a noise intensity level of

85dB(A) can be exceeded. Thethat may be necessary depends
upon the locally specified noise level criterion.
Please get in contact with SCHENCK if noise protection is
necessary.

2.1 Basic functions
2 Function and use

2.1 Basic functions
The MULTICOR S-R measuring instrument is used for measuring
mass flow rates of bulk material according to the Coriolis
Measuring principle.
The Bulk material is fed vertically to a rotating measuring wheel

through a centric inlet that is equipped with a reversing cone. The
reversing cone of the measuring wheel symmetrically conducts the
bulk material into the signal channels of the measuring wheel on
all sides.
The torque that has to be produced to accelerate all particles of

the bulk material is directly proportional to the mass flow rate of
the bulk material if the measuring wheel is at a constant number of
revolutions per unit time.
The drive torque is captured as a reactive force in a special

measuring station for torque.
It constructively minimizes friction from sealing and bedding the
drive speed control and belt drive including interference signals
from cabling and supply lines. A slight amount enters into the
result of a measurement.
This is the reason why it is necessary to regularly calibrate the
instrument and precisely maintain the readings stated in the
sections on Service and Maintenance.
WARNING:
Since the drive torque required for the measurement is captured
with a load cell (that functioned as the motor’s torque rocker), the
motor may not be touched during MULTICOR operation without
falsifying the measuring signal.
An inductive proximity switch (built into the drive unit) captures the
changes in the measuring wheel’s revolutions per unit time and
they are applied to calculating the feed rate in the electronic
process unit.
Changes in the physical properties of the bulk material do not
have an impact on measuring results or the accuracy of the
measuring instrument.

2.2 Instrument intake

The instrument intake consists of the transformer-rectifier-type
power source and an optional strainer with its inspection tube for
inspecting or cleaning the intake strainer.
The strainer has a mesh that can retain foreign materials and
course impurities in the bulk solids.
The inlet transformer-rectifier-type power source eliminates any
inlet twist, the rotational impluse of the bulk material on the
measuring wheel inlet and has a beneficial impact on the accuracy
of measurements.
WARNING:
Inspect
the strainer for any foreign materials or impurities on a regular
basis and at brief intervals after starting up the MULTICOR S-R.
Take the appropriate actions to eliminate any impurities in the bulk
material found because regular impurities in the bulk material can
close the measuring instrument inlet and cause breakdowns.

Touching the running measuring wheel!
Only inspect the inlet strainer when the
material feed is switched off.
Please take precautions against inadvertent
restart.
NOTE:
Special designs of MULTICOR S-R are available without an inlet
strainer and
measuring wheels adapted to special applications.
Please get in contact with
SCHENCK PROCESS GmbH.
When installing a special measuring wheel, please bear in mind
the impact this has on instrument accuracy.
2.3 The measuring wheel

The measuring wheel is used for accelerating all particles of bulk
solids in the radial direction; in the clockwise direction depending
upon the speed of the mass flow rate. Material build-up on the
measuring wheel blades do not have any impact on measuring
accuracy if they are evenly thin.
Uneven or greater material build-up (in excess of approximately 5
mm on the external diameter) and visible wear on the measuring
wheel may have an impact on measuring accuracy.
WARNING:
Inspect the measuring wheel for wear and any material build-up at
regular intervals or if there are problems with accuracy.
NOTE:
Specially coated measuring wheels can be used for rectifying or
reducing wear and/or material build-up.

The instrument housing makes it possible to install the MULTICOR
S-R measuring instrument dust-free into conveyor lines provided
by the customer. The bulk material is deflected downwards in a
vertical direction and fed to the outlet after it has left the measuring
wheel. It is connected with the flexible union to the feed and
discharge line provided by the customer.
The instrument housing can also be directly bolted to other
sub-parts of the installation even without an outlet cone, although
this does restrict the accessibility to the drive belt.

2.5 The measuring signal is accepted through the load cell
Fig. 2: The measuring signal - acceptance with the weighing cell
Griming in the area of the weighing cell (1) and measurement

flange (2) can falsify the measuring signal. This is the reason why
it is essential to keep the load cell clean and in flawless condition.
Please bear the following in mind to ensure flawless operation:
WARNING:
Exterior griming on the measuring instrument and larger
deposits of dust in the area of the measurement flange can
cause shunt forces. Make sure that the measuring instrument
is clean by cleaning it on a regular basis whenever required.
Touching the drive speed control in regular operation can

cause erroneous measurements. Please only clean the
instrument when the system is stationary and down.
Also check the condition of the flexible union on the

measurement flange when you inspect the measuring wheel
to see if it is damaged. If damage is discovered, the
measuring bearings should also be inspected and if
necessary replaced. Always clean off dust deposits at
inspection.

© SCHENCK PROCESS

The entire measuring instrument is built in a sturdy housing and
can be installed in as-received condition.
You can put the measuring instrument into service after installing
the instrument, connecting the electrical feed lines, installing the
necessary compressed air supply and removing the transit
restraint.

2.7 Measuring accuracy

Things that can have an impact on measuring
accuracy
Since there are a large number of factors that can have an impact
on measuring accuracy, we will select a couple of points as
examples of problems that occur repeatedly.
2.7.1 General Statements

The instrument has to function perfectly for good measuring
accuracy.
The mechanical system of the MULTICOR measuring instrument
is put to a set of tough tests before delivery to ensure that it
functions perfectly.
Beyond this, to ensure the best possible measuring accuracy, the
entire measuring system and feeder has to be put to a
metrological analysis.
The items below should kept in mind for specific orders:
n The physical bulk material properties

n The storage bin, required minimum material buffer
n The silo discharge and material in-feed into the measuring
instrument
n Dedusting
n Material transport
n Instrument installation and supporting structure
This is the reason why the specifications and installation situation

on the dimensioned and installation drawings should be carefully
observed.

© SCHENCK PROCESS
2.7.2 Platform vibrations

Vibrations transmitted from the platform / support structure to the
measuring instrument and any forces exerted on it may have an
impact on instrument functioning and measuring accuracy.
There should not be any platform vibrations in the horizontal

direction or torsional vibrations.
The impact of low end vibrations (vibrations in the vertical

direction) are negligible if the following limit values for acceleration
value and exciting frequency are complied with:
n Acceleration readings = max. 0.1 * g
n Exciting frequency= max. 5 Hz
The vibration amplitude of the support structure may not

be in excess of 0.25 mm.
The limit values also apply to stochastically occurring impact

loading.
Appropriate actions should be taken to insulate against

vibrations if they are in excess of the limit values specified.
2.7.3 Air flow

Air flowing through the instrument instead of bulk material creates
a deceptive feed rate as measuring results.
n This is the reason why you should ensure that the conveyor
routes from the silo to the measuring instrument are closed
and sealed.
n Provide acceptable limits for the operating pressure.
n Changes in the pressure differential between the instrument

inlet and outlet may not be in excess of 5 mbar.
n Please also avoid alternating between positive and negative
pressure.

© SCHENCK PROCESS
2.7.4 Material build-up

Material build-up on the measuring wheel does not falsify the
measurement if it is regularly even and does not cause the
particles of bulk material to lift from the blades of the measuring
wheels.
Increasing uneven film thickness of material build-up causes

malfunctions.
Some reasons for material build-up may be:
n adhesive substances within the spectrum of bulk material
and/or
n increased humidity
2.7.5 wear
There may be wear with abrasive bulk material primarily on the
measuring wheel blades, measuring wheel bottom and the
housing of the MULTICOR. The measuring wheel can have a
wear-proof design and the inner casing can be coated for this type
of bulk material (Option).
n When measuring wheel and the inner casing of the instrument

are put into service, inspect them generally for wear and tear
and material back-up whenever the system is down.
n Also inspect the measuring wheel and inner casing of the
instrument on a regular basis during operation if these events
cannot be reliably ruled on a permanent basis.
2.7.6 The pulsating flow of bulk material

The pulsating flow of bulk material into the measuring wheel
produces a load cell signal with reduced accuracy because it is
affected by vibrations. This is the reason why the instruments
feeding the bulk solids should have good feeding quality.
n This is also the reason why rotary vane feeders should have
overlapping chambers.
n Screws should be designed with feeder stars at the discharge
and they should work at high speeds.
n If the material feed is not controlled, the maximum actual
performance fluctuations may be± 10% around the mean.
n Performance limits (volumetric/gravimetric) may not be
exceeded.

© SCHENCK PROCESS
2.7.7 Defects in the instrument mechanism

The following factors can have a negative impact on measuring
accuracy:
Soiling entering the measuring bearing.

Soiling might enter the measuring bearing if the flexible union of
the measuring bearing is damaged.
Twists in the flexible union.

The flexible union of the measuring flange has to be mounted
without twists or folds to prevent extraneous vibrations that could
falsify the measuring signal.
Shunt forces from incorrect cable routing

The motor’s connecting cable has to be laid in a free elbow and
the cables may not be under tension.
Improperly loosened transit restraint.
Damaged bearings in the drive line or sluggishness of the

drive line from the bulk material entering
The toothed belt is too tense.

8.5 Belt drive
Recommendation for Replacing the Belt

We recommend replacing the belt after
10,000 hours of operation
to maintain a high level of reliability against downtimes.
Check belt tension

Auxiliary units:
Use a folding rule or rigid steel rule, spring-type scale and rope to
ensure that the belt is bound so that it can be drawn with
spring-type scale without being damaged.
The belt should be guided in the direction of the arrow at the point
defined in Figure 13, page 48 for belt tension.
The following rate may be defined when deflecting the belt:
maximum of 6 kg / cm deflection
(12 kg may be read on the spring-type scale after 2 cm of

deflection).

8.7 Geared motor

NOTE: Please read the following information to maintain
MULTICOR’s function:
Check theGeared motor according to the manufacturer’s

instructions.
Also read the documentation in your MULTICOR folder.
Since MULTICOR’s accuracy depends on the specifications of the

geared motor, only order replacement geared motors from
SCHENCK.
The geared motor can be disassembled with the installed
MULTICOR.
WARNING: Always make sure that the working area is clean to

prevent damage to the measurement flange. Especially make
sure that soiling does not penetrate into the measurement flange.
NOTE: The impact the cabling has on measuring accuracy

The geared motor cabling forms the transition from the stationary
to the weighed part of the machine.
If the cabling is done incorrectly, this can have a negative impact
on the results of measurement since the measurement flange can
move more freely and the deformation resistance of the motor
cable enters into the results of measurement .
It is advisable to record the original cabling (such as by making a

sketch or photo).
Disconnect the machine from any power supply.

Protect the machine from inadvertent restart. Ensure that all
components have come to a stop.
